I Legally Changed My Name.
I wanted to cut that connection with my family. Changing your name doesn't erase the past and history connects people whether we like it or not. No escaping it.
My dad had done the same, changing his name, as a way of declaring himself separate from his dad's side of the family. His dad told him, "someday, you're gonna know what this feels like."
My dad told me that when he found out about the change. What am I supposed to say to that? I'm not sorry. It's not so big a deal. Besides, we all hate him. He's a bad person who goes out of his way to hurt and sabotage everyone else even though we don't live with him anymore.
*sigh* Maybe I'm a little sorry. Between him and me, I'm the mature one *maniacal laughter* so I'm the one in control of these exchanges. I should have waited till he passed away to change my name. It's about being my own person, separate from my family and not about hurting him. So I should have waited. Besides, I hate being anything like him but things like this happen and that's too alike to be separate.
