I need to share the pain I'm feeling. I used to be so close to my dad, he was the best dad I could've asked for. Things have changed though.

Things changed around the election time. I felt my relationship was more important with my dad so I tried to maintain a good relationship. Its gotten to the point where I feel like he's annoyed to talk with me, he always makes excuses to end our conversations early, and one time he even forgot he was on the phone with me. That all has really hurt since I was so close to him.

Today we discussed the poor man and his young daughter that were found drowned. He's so cold hearted towards it and says such inflammatory things. I never heard him or saw him act like that before. This is just the most recent issue we've argued about, we've argued about pretty much everything that's part of my core values. I can handle the other stuff but I view this issue as inhumane and it hurts so bad to see my dad have changed so much. He raised me to be kind, empathetic, and to care for others but then I see him doing the exact opposite.

I feel like I dont know who this guy is, he's certainly not the man that I looked up to. My sister won't even talk to him anymore for this exact reason. I dont want to get into a political argument either, I'm emotionally exhausted and not in the place to.
