My dad and a phone call

My dad used to be extremely abusive, but he changed. I’ve always felt distant from him because of the abuse. A long time ago, I told him I was in a psych ward for psychosis. He wouldn’t allow me around the family anymore and it really hurt me. So I told him it was a reaction to medication and the problem was gone. He started allowing me to see the family again.

Well, that was over 10 years ago. Today, I talked to my dad on the phone. He seemed to really care about me during the phone call. Maybe someday I can tell him my diagnosis. But I’m still not ready yet. I want to have family in my life.

That’s a bitter sweet story. :frowning:

But my brother doesn’t look at me the same way anymore so I can relate.

Yeah. I’m afraid of being kicked out of my family. It’s the only family I’ve got.

My dad was like that. They don’t understand. They just believe hype.

My dad is a no good person. He is out of my life.

It’s as if our families never knew us at all. I’m not violent at all, never have been. My family should know that.
