Does your father want to patch up this relationship?

If he does, the first thing he'll have to do is to sit down with you and tell you how sorry he is.

If you think he means it, then you may want to forgive him. Doesn't mean you have to forget, or let your guard down, but it will be the first giant step towards talking to each other with words that are kind rather than resentful or guilty.

Otherwise, you will be hesitant to talk to him, and he will be resigned to your not trusting him. Communication is difficult under those circumstances.


Choices, it's all about choices.
