Serious question, how did you know when cutting off your dad was actually done and not just a break?
I swore I would never talk to my dad again after he missed my daughter's 8th birthday in March, and I stayed solid for 5 months. Then in August my aunt showed me photos from his 70th party in Dayton, and he looked small and old and I felt nothing, which scared me more than being angry. For people who ended it for good, did the calm feeling mean you were done, or did something else tell you?
