I still wish we could have been friends... I hate

2025/7/20 Edited to

... Read moreFamily estrangement, especially from children and spouses, can cause profound emotional pain and feelings of isolation. The term "forgotten dad" poignantly reflects the experience of fathers who feel cast aside or seen as adversaries rather than loved family members. This situation often leads to a complex mix of grief, guilt, and longing for reconciliation. Research on family estrangement highlights that reasons can range from misunderstandings, conflicts, or traumatic events, to communication breakdowns. Fathers who find themselves labeled as the "enemy" may struggle internally with anger, sadness, or helplessness, all of which impact mental health and wellbeing. It is important to recognize that while reconciliation is the hope, sometimes acceptance and self-healing become crucial first steps. Support groups, counseling, and open communication—when possible—can help address these feelings. Building a support network outside of the immediate family, and focusing on personal growth can empower individuals in these difficult times. Moreover, engaging in constructive self-reflection and learning to set healthy boundaries can gradually aid in restoring relationships or coping with their loss. Understanding the broader context of fatherhood and family dynamics is essential. Cultural and societal expectations about paternal roles often complicate these emotions, making the pain of estrangement even more intense. Resources and expert advice aimed at "forgotten dads" emphasize empathy, patience, and the importance of nurturing one's emotional health. This article sheds light on the emotional turmoil experienced by those labeled as the 'forgotten dad' and offers guidance on navigating these painful circumstances. It seeks to provide comfort and practical advice for individuals hoping to mend or come to terms with fractured family bonds.

any form of true and selfless love , companionship or empathy . you choose everyday to go farther and farther down your path if hateful t and dangerously selfish I find it rather entertaining to know that you think you are getting away with any of this... and I feel humiliation on your behalf because I know in my heart that you don't have what it takes to overcome this truth.... nor do you have regard for anyone involved or effected by your destructive and intentional mean natured existence. I feel sorrow for your rightful hard earned and certain consequences.. and I wouldn't wish meeting you on anyone not even you. ... it must be a different kind of discrase to bare the truth from your perspective to TRUELY exist in such fraudulent sneaky and hateful space . the weight of your choices and personal truth ... like your honest opinion of yourself ... to face the mirror and know that every advantage that you have in life was fraudulently obtained and that the unforgiving truth about you is so embarrassing and belittling. and defining ... that bringing the truth to surface would cause absolutely everybody you have ever met to share shame and humiliation beyond words or measure prevent people from having the willpower or ability to be welcoming or in any way be kind to you. I mean no get back not refuge.. no safe place or acceptance just real rawv and naked truth the all powerful and omnipresent un-silenceable fact is that you are not worthy of love, compassion, acceptance, forgiveness or even bringing oneself to a place where they would want you around them . to boldly display the odasity to confidently stand in your shoes and think you deserve to be loved or accepted , valued or even tolerated bbull your best interest be WORTHEY of anyone's priority. or in any way accept your presence . rlthe bold demeanor. and disregard for the human race would by all warejtdefinitions SHUN YOU ...

I want to be sad mad, irritated and Iam definitely being bullied and harassed. but I am not... as a true and authentic empath I feel pitty and blessed beyond measure ar the same time.. I know that your selling yourself on the street ... strung out on feddie..doing porn gigs with anyone willing and what really lets me down is seeing you spend days on end obsessed with harming me harassing and sabotaging me like ....I gotta be honest... you did me so dirty now for over two and half years... and your sicdillisi nal and mislead that I believe you might be a little overfident in thinking that I would ever consider being in your presence again or thinking that sharing an intimate moment with me ever again could possibly take form in this universe .... I do not associate with your kind ... I consider people that behave the way you do to be a distorted and obnoxious static vibration at very low Am like vibrational patterns.... you spend your time lying, bullying... being a sexual weirdo for lack of better words.... you are so fraudulent in nature that you scam constantly you have no boundarys when it comes to going the distance to cause people stres .... you have no regard for being loved by an honest heart.... you literally threw away your family for sex and drugs...... you hurt your kids every day ... on purpose like you are obsessed with it....cyou can't feel very attractive or likeable if you are famous a thousand times over under different identities you have proven time and time again to because shitty wife a shitty mother. a shitty family member and humiliating excuse for a friend... you don't even have the makings of an ethical person nor the mental capacity or emotional control to show up to scinario with honesty realness or ethical regard your so jealous and I'm envious of people that are in your corner exhausting themselves on your behalf... and you find it entertaining and rmworthwh of respect to inflict hate pain and suffering on people who
