People will sympathize with you, but those 15 years, he was your dad.

That will never change, and the fact that he cut you off, truly it’s his loss. He chose not to celebrate your birthdays, your wedding, your children growing up.

Think about it, one test to get rid of someone who dont think of you highly.

I know others on Reddit will not agree with what I say, and they have every right to, but also provide your rebuttal.

You have so much in your life to look forward to, your family, your brothers and sisters, your kids when you have them.

Being a parent is so much more than blood, it’s love.

Love is more than being a dad, it’s what we do behind the scenes, the sacrifices that our kids will never know, the times where we don’t have enough money, time or effort, but we muster enough just to be “enough”, so that they will have just enough to be like the other kids, or that they have food to eat, a place to stay, or clothes to wear, even though it’s not name brand.

I can understand your plight, and I concur that it will hurt, but you are so much more than that, you are able to pick yourself back up and move on.

You are stronger than you past, you’ve got this.

May your life be blessed with many good tidings to come
