Idk if I should invite my father to my high school graduation. He was a horrible father when he was actually around. he would beat on my mother and myself almost killing us both a couple of times. he was a raging alcoholic and a drug attic. he was in and out for at least ten years until he just never came back. My mother died of a drug overdose to which he supplied. she died because the drugs he gave her we laced. I was the one who found her body while he was in a different state doing what ever he does. two summers back we got into a fist fight and we both left all bloody with cuts, bruises, and broken bones. the past summer when I went to visit him it wasn't that bad. he seems very depressed and guilty. he asked me for a ticket but idk if I want him to come. I don't even call him my dad. Idk what to do

Overweight, overworked, and tired of it all
So I’m roughly 360lbs, 5’6, female. I work a full time job but it’s getting so much harder to lose weight. I don’t want stupid products that’ll cost $...
if he’s not acting like a father why should he have the privilege of doing a fatherly act? personally i don’t think you should invite him. it’s not fair to you.
ReplyMaybe it's time for the both of you to be healed. Give him a chance, not for him, but for you. Don't continue living with your past unsettled. Maybe you can forgive him, not because he deserve it, but because you deserve to have a peace of mind :)
ReplyWhat do you think will help you the most? What will having him there be like? If having him there will bring up past emotions that will harm you, he's not worth your time. If you think you are finally in a place you can say you won't let your past define you, there is no point in inviting him. However, if you can't say you've moved on, maybe having him there will help. You don't have to forget what he did. But you can forgive him. It could help you move on from your past, and move on with your life.
ReplyI wouldn't have him come, personally. From what I just read, he didn't help with your education whatsoever. Perhaps invite someone closer to you?
Maybe by saying no, it'll wake him up.
Replyno no no no no no and oh- nO. DONT invite him. keep your distance with him.
Replyforgive But not forget
ReplyReport this bastard to the police for his crimes.
Graduation? It's up to you whether you report him before or after you've enjoyed your day. But either way, he ain't gonna be there.
