He was always absent. I was the one who realized he was cheating on my mom at 8. He used to be very violent. I only have bad memories of/with him. He didn’t help my mom financially or just to raise us. My mom wants the best for us when he only wants the cheapest (that my mom will pay anyways) and bad stuff for us.

When I complain and say I don’t miss him and I don’t wanna see him (which is true) they start blaming ME. He’s the adult in here. I (16) can’t just forget the shitty childhood I had with him. I’m not used to living with a man at home and he wants to come back. Why are they blaming ME? My reaction is totally normal. He was a bad father and I’m leaving home to go to university in less than 2years. It’s too late to try whatever he’s thinking about. He should’ve been here years ago when I needed him. I don’t need him anymore. It’s too late now. He keeps playing the victim and they treat him as such. My mom lived through that hell and I can’t believe she still doesn’t get why I hate him. They keep trying to convince me that he’s my dad and that I love him when I really don’t. I respect him as a stranger. That’s it.
