I've tried for years to understand

Why my dad pushed me away. I could never understand. He passed away two years ago. I've barely felt his absence. Maybe it was a good thing to be spared such deep grief

I've skipped many a family event on purpose simply because I didn't feel like part of the family. Not pushed away, not pulled in either

@Justafantasy I feel this too. My family has slowly grown apart over the years for many reasons. I haven't seen most of them regularly since I was a teen.
