I get him gifts at Christmas because my parents do for me (though if my mom died that would stop I'm sure), both my brothers do for them, and since I'm an adult I feel that's the social norm I must stick to in order to keep the peace. I don't get him anything for his birthday or father's day though. I'm only saying "happy father's day" this year because coincidentally it's laundry day so I need to go over there anyways and it might be weird for me to go there and not say it. I try to appear normal when I can.


I am sorry shadow

I have a situation like yours.. but with my mother.

like your father, my mother was (is?) extremely abusive/ horrible to me, so we don't talk- in fact she emigrated to another country, just so she could get away from me.

though we don't talk (because it's damaging), I do sometimes email her happy christmas/ or happy birthday, even happy mothers day

all I get in response is,

" shut up"

I know where I'm not wanted
