>I can see how awfully similar we are as I get older. A nugget of golden, hurtful truth herein lies? It may be, that the sides of your father you loathe are sides you recognize within yourself? (Jabbing aside) maybe it would help to explore that. But at somepoint it would be helpful to have a father you can talk to, and it sounds like he is a liar.. I had the same thing with my mother, she was a true troll, both sisters have cut her off. I decided to do Work. It was a lot with me, thankfully she is and extraordinarily wise woman, and past sixty she did changes to herself i didnt think possible. But yeah, that journey, mended parts of me i didnt know were broken. And im still picking and glueing some pieces back together.. Through forgiveness, you let yourself heal.
