Sometimes I need to do the difficult things

I have always loved and always will love my father, but I do not love many of his extreme views and options. I do not like his Transphobic and homophobic attitude and I will not apologise to him for living my life to the best way I know how. I will not apologise for being who and what I am.

Last Monday I had a few long and unpleasant phone calls with my father which RESULTED in my father telling me that I had always been a disappointment and a problem to him and that it would have been better if I had never been transgendered (or as he put it….never chose to be transgender).

I closed the phone call with telling my father to “go fuck himself” and slamming the phone down.

I have not spoken to him since and as things stand at the moment I will never talk to him again. I will always be there if he needs help and he only ever needs to pick the phone up and ask for that help. But otherwise I have nothing to say to him.
