It's Father's Day. My father is dead and I don't miss him at all.
He was cruel to me almost as a quest. He tried to break me through punishment, criticism, manipulation of my relationship with my siblings, minimalizing my graduations (3), and trying to hold us out as a happy, perfect family.
I'm not happy that he's dead. I'm just relieved to be free of all that emotional tumult and future threats.
