Dad

I haven’t seen my dad since I was 9. Hes just been absent. Now he’s inviting me to come visit him in Boston and I’m thinking maybe I don’t want to. But Ort of me wonders if maybe I should just to reconnect. Thoughts?

Maybe he could rather first make the effort of coming to visit you on your homeground where you feel comfortable.

@Wraithorn I disagree, with respect.
If she goes to him, she has the option of leaving at any time.
Otherwise, she might end up with an 'unwanted guest' and a 'guilt trip'.
Difficult decision.🤔

@charley6000 Fair enough but he doesn't have to stay at her house. He can stay somewhere else and they could meet anywhere she feels comfortable. I was just giving an idea, ultimately AloeAllie must decide what she wants.

@Wraithorn I agree. But it is easier to walk away from an 'uncomfortable situation' than to have it on your doorstep.
Either way, I think it is something that needs to be confronted.
Who knows the outcome?🤔

@charley6000 I only met my daughter when she was 12 yrs old. Long story. She is now 26 and we get along very well with each other. So the outcome could be good. It depends on many things.
