Stopped speaking to my dad after he chose his new wife over our relationship
The one thing nobody tells you
I thought I'd feel like an orphan. I felt relieved. That relief made me feel guilty for years until I stopped deciding what I was supposed to feel.
| Happiness after | 4/5 · Better |
| Stress after | 3/5 · Same |
| Financial impact | No change |
The conversation
The relief followed by guilt is exactly what I felt when I cut contact with my mum. It's a horrible cycle. Does it get easier?
