My father and I haven’t spoken in over five years. Is my life any of his business anymore?

He sent me this gem after he found out about my engagement.

I haven't spoken to my father in 30 years. He passed and I miss him every day. Understand that some day this will be you.

@rhouse not always ,,but once we have kids of our own ,,(some of us )
see we are not so perfect ourselves as parents
it does tend to make us rethink how horrible our parents were
Like me finding out my Mom was not only Bipolar ,but she also had thyroid cancer
which can make you bat shit crazy ,throw in she was adopted ,but her real Mom kept her sister ,,I wish now I had understood her hell

I am glad we made up and I was able to take care of her the last 14 months of her life ,,,but she was a mess ,,,on her death bed I asked what she wanted me to do about some of her things ,,she said "I will leave that for you and your Brothers to fight out" ,,,,but I miss her a lot ,,she is the only Mom I ever knew
