First off, I am sorry for your situation, This story is real proof that any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad . Good luck with whatever you decide, but if nothing else, forgive him and move on with your life. Forgiving him does not mean you are okay with what he did or that you will have anything to do with, but it will remove the hatred from your heart, and that will be a good thing

Forgiveness won't change the past but it can change the future.

forgiveness doesnt mean you have to have a relationship with him or even trust him.

It sounds like you have no use for him. I recently cut ties with my dad, I had no use for him or his BS. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. I forgive him for being a dumb *** but I don’t have a use for him in my life. The only thing I suggest is make it very clear why you do not want to be in contact with him.

Same deal with my mother. Not everyone will understand or agree with it. But sometimes in some instances they leave you know choice.

Sounds like you already handled it :beer:

I would talk to him. I know I am in the minority, but unless you are a cold hearted sucker, it could haunt you. Sounds like the guy is a pos and I cant say I blame you for the way you feel. I'm not saying be friends or anything, but it is possible he has changed. Who knows. Of course, if it wasnt for him being so terrible you wouldnt have wound up with your step dad.

here is what I just sent him... Been thinking of it and thought why not give him a chance and make it known I do not want anything more.... The was more but that is between God and I


"This is your chance for your side of the story. This is between you and I. No one else. I am happy where I am at in my life with my work, my mother, my dad, my sister, and my friends. I am not a person that lives with hate and I am one to forgive a person."

Forgiveness.....great advice from Leon & others, but a bitter pill to swallow. I'm 47 and can hold a grudge like no other, but I'm softening a bit in my older age and trying much harder to walk the path. You're much younger but are showing remarkable wisdom in trying to deal with this the proper way. Forgive if you can, but move on. He has added nothing to your life and made your mother's & sister's worse with his presence. Remember how all this shakes out, it'll come in handy down the road in dealing with individuals less mature and with less common sense than you have. Upward & onward.
