...does that make me a bad person?

Ok, three things...

1) This will be my last post about my father.  You'll see why in a second.

2) I am tired of people judging me for my choice not to talk to my dad.  The reason I don't is because It makes me too frustrated and I don't want to say things I will regret.  Besides, everything he says is a lie anyway.  (Also, stop telling me how awesome you think he is and what a great man he is.  Um, yeah, because cheating on your wife for YEARS, ignoring your kids, and abandoning your family makes you an awesome person.  What?!?)

3) I gave up hope a long time ago, long before he physically left, that he would be a normal/good dad.  That's why we haven't gotten along since Jr. High.  Now that he is moving to Florida (to be close to his girlfriend and her son), I actually feel relieved.  I don't want him to be part of my life and the physical distance will make it easier.

I don't think you could ever be a bad person. :) You're a sweetheart, Jess! I think you are smart and you should do what you feel is best. And honestly, I can't quite blame you.

Your dad must be good at keeping up appearances, because "awesome" and "great man" are words I would have used to describe him up until a year or so ago! There's always more to a story, huh? Oh I'm sorry. It breaks my heart because you guys are so wonderful. And now I'll stop talking about him too.

Love you!
