Don’t have anywhere else to vent besides Reddit so I am just..
Added 2022-01-30 13:20:42 +0000 UTCDon’t have anywhere else to vent besides Reddit so I am just gonna type whatever I feel here - My estranged dad called my cousin a few hours ago asking her if she think that I would return to my family home for Chinese New Year ‘ Reunion Dinner’ Then my cousin passed her cellphone to me and told me to answer his call. The moment I heard my Dad’s voice asking me if I would like to have reunion dinner with them,the tears just started welling up in my eyes and I responded with : “Why should I” and I just declined his invitation.Just expected me to forget all about the emotional trauma that they (especially my mum) have caused me since I was 14 years old.Maybe if my Dad had apologised to me for driving me out of the house 2 years ago I would have said Yes.But he didn’t.Call me childish/disrespectful but I have every right not to forgive my parents for their toxic behaviour towards me.I have every right to set boundaries with people who have verbally abused me even if they are my so called ‘family’
