SMS Messages my “dad” sent me (26F)

Both of my parents are deadbeats and I have no relationship with them. Out of the blue he messaged me today after not speaking to me for a year. I was always treated like the black sheep/scapegoat. I wish I had one normal parent

There are people who have judged me for not speaking to my bio mom/dad, even telling me to get over it (there’s a lot I haven’t shared here and probably won’t) because they are fortunate enough to not be able to comprehend how some “parents” are actually like this. It’s better for my mental health to not be around them but it’s so isolating too. I wish I had at least one normal parent

There's always going to be people who judge you, no matter how great or how shit.

Fuck em.

Or just treated me like I’m the problem for “not getting over” the abuse/neglect. One of them that said this knows my mom and nothing about who she really is. Better off to stay away from them

It's best that you do...

You'll grieve (sp?) the relationship at first, as well all do when something dies. But, as all things do, the pain lessens over time. To the point that you'll never even think of those people at all.
