Okay.. a VERY long story short- I finally cut my dad off today. We’ve never had a good relationship and for the past like 5 years I’ve kept our relationship out of feeling obligated to. He was unfaithful to my mom their entire marriage, verbally, emotionally and sometimes physically abusive to us all. He’s a very manipulative person and I’m pretty sure he’s narcissistic.

I finally said I’m done and cut all ties. Is it weird that I feel very relieved but also guilty at the same time? I also just realized it’s his birthday today so kind of a dick move on my part cutting him off today but it is what it is.

How do I make it through this awkward time? It feels so weird and hard but also really good. Has anyone else felt like this when cutting off family? Advice appreciated. ♥️
