On the one hand, my father lost his dad when he was 12, so he is not perfect. I want to assume he is atleast trying his best. But this past year, “his best” was “OK with punching his children” and as far as I know, hasnt seen his grand children. (My sister has a kid. Living happy with her partner. Since sister and partner is not married, my dad doesnt acknowlege them.)

Im OK with skipping the birthday text to father, but mother (who i still talk to) insist i send the text.

    The night he proved he was OK with punching his children, i came to the conclusion that “I lost my dad, but i still have a father”.

    Its midnight the night before the birthday. Might be a bit rambling. Am 80% sure its OK to skip his birthday, but that 20% is open correction. Am open to learn something new. (Im not a father. Maybe theres something i dont know)
