Father's Day
I asked my kids today if they will be sending their dad a Happy Father's Day card - they both said NO. I guess I don't blame them with all the shit he's pulled lately but it still makes me sad. Will I force them this year like I did last year, absolutely not. They are young adults and if they don't feel they can send a card from the heart, then that is their decision.It didn't have to be this way. He's handled it all so badly and of course blames me for their feelings. Whatever!!!!I will be sending my ex father in law a card because that's just who I am but I'm sure it will be the last one I will be sending. The inlaws are not even speaking to me anymore anyway but this is still something I need to do. Kind of a final closure. The card doesn't call him "Dad" like I usually would have sent, just basic Happy Father's Day. My conscience is totally clear with this issue. I know I haven't done or said anything to them that warrants their treatment of me. So, I will take the high road, again, and just be who I've always been.
