This is such tough stuff to talk about, to do, to stay true to your decision and you are right, even when it's been decided it's still there in the background. I'm so glad you took care of yourself by making the decision to remove your father from your life.

I have a sticky note on my computer monitor that says "I will never leave you." When I first heard that quote it felt like I finally realized for the very first time in my life that I was a good person. I'll bet you can relate.

Powerful story, Katrina. I think disconnecting from a parent must be one of the hardest things one can possibly do. Thank you for sharing this with all of the vulnerability and ambivalence, the hurt and panic and love. Giving you a big joyful hug.❤️
