The conversation with my dad about visiting his grandson made me realize I always had to initiate our relationship, just as he treated my childhood.
Despite attempts to foster a connection with my father, I realized he maintained a pattern of minimal effort, similar to my experiences as a child.
After ten years of no contact with my dad, I stood firm on my boundaries, asserting that he must take responsibility for reaching out.
When my dad’s new wife reached out trying to induce guilt, I made it clear that the responsibility to mend our relationship lied with him, not me.
