[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I’d encourage my son that freedom involves walking away and leaving the anger behind.[/b] He 100% is within his right to stay away from awful people. I’d also tell him that others who haven’t been in his situation may or may not understand. [b]Having a party celebrating the end of a toxic relationship will make others feel awkward.[/b]

It’s also normal to feel relieved, celebratory and very happy when going no contact with a horrible person. At some point he’ll mourn never having the dad he deserved but he’ll never miss the jerk who was his dad. [/quote]
I'm the 16 pp, and I agree with all of this.

Yes to freedom from anger. No to the party (or maybe reframe it as 18-Freedom, not freedom from Dad specifically). And I feel so much happier and free day to day not even thinking about my Dad. His gf reached out a while back when they saw I bought my house (so probably looking for money), and gave me some sob story about his health yada yada. 10 yrs later he's still alive somewhere, clearly it wasnt that bad  :roll: I was so stressed out when she reached out to me and tried to guilt me. As soon as I blocked her as well, the weight lifted again. [/quote]
