My relationship to him is very low, he recently assaulted/hit me when I didn't agree with my manic mother (who was in a rage as well) and I did not call the police on him, as people told me after I should have. (it was multiple times hitting) I don't even know If I wanted to get him anything... I got him a small gift, but even that was a strain for me. He barely says hi to me, has defended my sick mother for so many years (even her severe emotional and also physical abuse). I see everyone on social media wishing their dad a Happy father's day when I want to tear up or cry. I've had some people here tell me I need to most likely cut ties with someone like this, yet its hard in that I have no one else in my life to ever help me financially , if I needed. How do you feel about Father's day and your overall connection to him? less

We'll go out to dinner later too :) My dad's notoriously difficult to shop for, but this year it's been a bit easier.

(Not to worry, no tildes were harmed in this incident. I know you were thinking about them, so I put in this disclaimer.)

I recognised myself so clearly upto about my present age, but what I saw what I might look like in my 60s,70s and 80s positively terrified me. At each age I felt I was being pressed down by what or whom I don't know, and I kept calling out to my mother I don't know why; but I woke up sweating profusely, my nightie completely drenched, and whispering "Ma, be with me, be with me, be with me."Fortunately that dream hasn't recurred, but the way I saw myself when I would be past 60 was truly horrifying. Every morning I look in the mirror to check for any trace of a change in my face, and am so thankful for not seeing any. less
