Great! I cut my father out a few years back. He was emotionally abusive, narcissistic, and a compulsive liar. I briefly tried letting him back in, trying to set real firm boundaries, but it was just the same old shit - him throwing a giant temper tantrum whenever he didn't get what he wanted. I cut him out, again. I'd get the occasional nasty voicemail or email from a a new number or email address, whining about how I was an ungrateful child and "his counselor said adult children should do what their parents tell them" (riiiiight) but mostly didn't hear from him.
Then he died of COVID, being an idiot antivaxxer, and life has never been better. Honestly, I wish he had died years ago. It's fucked up but he's been a cancer on our family all along and we're all doing better now that he's dead.
Did the anti vaxx stuff happen when he became a ghost…or….?
