I'll never forget, but I've forgiven.

I doubt he will be upset.We barely talked about it lol but, he laughed, surprisingly. He takes his faith seriously, and I respect that.

It's weird, I have had quite a volatile relationship with my dad over the years. Very. He was somewhat abusive to me as a kid, but in his eyes, he'd deny that. ''It's for your own good,'' but really? Was it? When I have kids, there will be no harshness like I grew up with. But, he has apologized to me and a few years ago, we mended fences. I see him in a new light, and cut him a break. He's a good dad, has always taken care of our family, and despite his flaws, I love him.
I can't wait to see his face today, when I tell him about my newfound interest in Wicca. He is still upset I left the Catholic Church.
I suspect someone has an interest in nude beaches...
hahaha It's a long story, kind of an inside joke with someone here.
Well, today was great. Went to the beach, and it was super crowded. But, the water was so nice, warmish...the sand was burning hot. So hot for June, already.
