I always felt guilty doing that. Until my t said it could be hard but there are no rules you must see and call your dad. You don't. My family was guilting me into calling my dad but every time i did he said something offensive. My t said they could be upset but you don't need to call if he is offensive. That's the first time someone said it, people always said you must do this and that because they are your parents. Hmm it is liberating to know that you don't need to.
