It is my dad’s birthday on the 16th and I’ve yet to call him. There are no problems between us or anything, in fact, my dad’s probably my favorite person in my family… but after years of feeling abandoned, it’s just really hard to pick up that phone. I shouldn’t feel pressured; he doesn’t call me on my birthday or the day after my birthday, which he sometimes mistakes my birthday for. It isn’t like he’s gotten me a present in so long or he calls me when he’s not single. But I love me dad, and grudges are petty.
