What do I do with my horrible father?
I don't like to talk to my dad at all and I guess it's because of thins he has done in the past. He left my mom when I got diagnosed with diabetes type one, when my brother was born, and a couple of times in between. Growing up my father was always traveling and I only saw him on he weekends, not until I was 6 did I get to see him more often. When my father came back after I was diagnosed, he would slap me for every little symptom I had, I was 3 at the time. Recently, my mother found a picture of my father with another woman and they decided they would file for a divorce as soon as my mom had enough money and this wasn't he first one he had cheated on her with another woman. My father spends the whole time on the computer or on the Xbox ad whenever I try to have a real talk he pushes me away or says something rude. He has caused me emotional distress for the past few years and I have no intentions of making amends to our relationship except if its to get him to stop being so cold and abusive towards my mom and me. Any ideas?
