Why would you say that about children?

I mixed up the words lesbian and libertarian. I also thought “frisbee” was “roast beef” and I mixed up “chicken” and “kitchen”. I also thought then when mosquitoes bit you, the reason it left a bump was because the mosquito was burrowed under your skin just drinking for days. I would try to push on the bumps because I thought if I made them uncomfortable, they would leave.

Tipped minimum wage should be abolished, tips should not be taxable. And I'm a Republican (not a MAGA!). That being said, I don't tip based on what they might make; I tip based on service. And I tip heavy since I've been there and now I'm doing decent.

Seriously, we're talking about her sharing bits of her childhood diary. If that's too brutal for him, then all the more reason for no contact.

Father Forgot About His Daughter's Existence After Her Half-Brother Got Cancer, More Than A Decade Later Tries To Reconnect With Her, But She Shuts Him Down

So...how is removing herself from a very bad situation and refusing to risk putting herself back into that situation not a healthy way of dealing with the bad situation?????? One of the things I learned in counceling was sometimes, the best way to deal with a bad situation was to remove yourself from it.

Father Forgot About His Daughter's Existence After Her Half-Brother Got Cancer, More Than A Decade Later Tries To Reconnect With Her, But She Shuts Him Down

If you think it's brutal for him, then you are acknowledging that it was brural to her in the first place. It literally COULD NOT have been brutal for him if it WASN'T even WORSE to her in the first place. Also, this is a man who has proven that he wants what he wants and DOES NOT CARE how his daughter feels about it. Why the EFF do you think he would leave her alone if she "just walked away?"

Father Forgot About His Daughter's Existence After Her Half-Brother Got Cancer, More Than A Decade Later Tries To Reconnect With Her, But She Shuts Him Down

I noticed that, too. Almost as if they've been taught by society that the feelings of women are less valuable than the feelings of men and therefore a woman should keep all the pain inflicted on her in and never show it to a man.

Father Forgot About His Daughter's Existence After Her Half-Brother Got Cancer, More Than A Decade Later Tries To Reconnect With Her, But She Shuts Him Down

This little gal is smart & tough. She's become very self-aware @ a young age. So often people that experience loss, dysfunction, & rejection confuse how they "should" feel with how they actually feel. OP's sussed this out already- excellent! She was completely abandoned by her only living parent, suffered accordingly, & refuses to put herself in that position again...Good Girl! It's not callous or cruel to protect oneself. Perhaps she may contact her father in the future, but that's HER prerogative, no one else's. Oh Honey, I've been there & this is a complete NTA. OP will go far in life🤗

Father Forgot About His Daughter's Existence After Her Half-Brother Got Cancer, More Than A Decade Later Tries To Reconnect With Her, But She Shuts Him Down

Funny how it's dudes criticizing her.

Father Forgot About His Daughter's Existence After Her Half-Brother Got Cancer, More Than A Decade Later Tries To Reconnect With Her, But She Shuts Him Down

Did OP's dad, for one second, not stop to consider how afraid OP was? She lost her mother to Leukemia (aka, cancer) at a young age, and if she loved her half brother, and learned that she was going to lose him for the same reason, did he not F*****G THINK to comfort her at all? I can't imagine how painful that must have been. I've lost my grandmother to cancer, it hurts once, never mind twice. I understand the father wanted to be there for his son, but he could have done that and still been there for his daughter. There was also no reason to cut OP out from being able to see her brother, either. When you're scared of losing someone, you spend as much time as possible with them. I always regret I didn't have time enough with the people I lost. It wasn't fair to deny her that time. What OP did was harsh, but I don't blame her.

Father Forgot About His Daughter's Existence After Her Half-Brother Got Cancer, More Than A Decade Later Tries To Reconnect With Her, But She Shuts Him Down

As a father, I disagree. If my child cut me out of her life, I'd like to understand why. Not my viewpoint, but hers. I don't think what she did was cruel, but in its own way, it was a kindness. One that hurts, even hurts badly, but he can now understand her perspective, and once he gets over the shock, he can move forward with respecting her wishes. I hope for her own sake, that she can rebuild that relationship, but maybe not, and that's okay too. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to hug my kids.

Father Forgot About His Daughter's Existence After Her Half-Brother Got Cancer, More Than A Decade Later Tries To Reconnect With Her, But She Shuts Him Down

The father is a complete asshat and doesn't deserve the time of day. He brought a young girl in the world and basically abandoned her. When the opportunity arose where she could find happiness he shut it down never considering her feelings. He was the adult here but she had to grow up quick. Screw him and I'm glad she didn't hold anything back.

Father Forgot About His Daughter's Existence After Her Half-Brother Got Cancer, More Than A Decade Later Tries To Reconnect With Her, But She Shuts Him Down

I was also the child with a disabled family member with high support needs - my father. And like, I get that someone with those needs requires a lot of attention and care, and sometimes that can lead to emotional neglect (because the system isn't set up to help families in that position.) But this father didn't even *try*. He didn't even let OP have a relationship with her brother, for god's sake. He got what he deserved.

No perspective justifies neglecting a child.

It concerns me that it is often regarded as ‘selfishness’. Your entire life is changed, completely. There is nothing wrong with looking after ‘you’. There are enough children in the world, focus on being a better human being for yourself, so the your own freedoms.
