Part of me feels pity for the old man. I guess deep down I still love him, he is my dad. I told my therapist that and she said it’s only normal. Life is complicated.

    I guess deep down I still love him, he is my dad. I told my therapist that and she said it’s only normal.

    mine said the same when i expressed confusion about my feelings for my mom because she had disowned & estranged me when i came out to her and then to tried repairing our relationship when she learned she had terminal breast cancer – i’ll never know if it was the breast cancer that made her change her tune or if it was a genuine desire to be a better human being.

    it’s been 10 years now and i still feel strange about it.
