Instead of assuming that this was our only conversation over the past six months and that I haven't posted anything else on here regarding family issues lately...I suggest you inquire. I'd be more than happy to fill you in. Just go read up on the ex-mormon forums and you can get a good idea of the ridiculous stuff ex-mormons will have to go through. No reason to read my posts exactly, they're all pretty much the same when it comes to family. haha.
Well, I have a question for you. My apologies if you've already addressed this. Why do you still want to have a relationship with your father if he is such a negative person?
Right now I don't anymore. My family got together this weekend and this is the second time that he has completely avoided acknowledging my existence anymore.
I love my dad. Regardless of all the cruddy stuff, he taught me a lot of cool stuff too.
It's just so incredibly messy right now that I don't think I'll pursue a relationship with my father until I've found my career route, started my schooling back up, started my business, found my volunteering route, and have my own place again. At that time my father will no longer have anything negative to say about my life and if he does...well I'll be confident to know he's wrong instead of allowing his pessimist sentiments to run my life like the past 21 years.
