FAQ's

Got a meeting with my father next week, can't say I'm 100% enthused. I know this is the right decision, he seems remorseful, but it stops there. It definitely has an air of obligation or like he's initiating this out of guilt - but I'll give him a fair start.

It's been almost a decade since we've spoken more than two words to each other; this is what the problem is. Not only have I moved on emotionally and physically - I've learned to do without. It's just bordering on weird to have a father figure in my life again (I guess I couldn't be all that hasty even if I wanted to), since there's been this sort of vacuum/void in my mind regarding this for so long.

Either way, next week should be enlightening to say the least. Like maybe... what specifically caused him to walk out to begin with? What specifically? What caused him to ask my mom to leave with the 2 kids when I was 6? What justification was in his mind when he basically traded my brother and me for the house? Will he apologize for the damage he's done? Will he at least take responsibility?

Many questions in my mind. I don't plan on them holding back.
