re: Being There For A Parent That Abandoned You And Has Been A Source Of Pain Your Entire Life

Very difficult situation...I have to say I am currently facing a hard situation regarding both of my parents at this point. Father was an alcoholic my whole life in and out of my life and did numerous sketchy shite ( my mom always took him back and chased after him). Our relationship was at least ok on speaking terms and now my sister dropped a bombshell 2 years ago on me that he was sexually inappropriate with her for months 30 years ago when she was 12 years old. The difficult part is she claims that my mom knew about the whole thing and told her never to speak about it to anyone. I confronted my mom about this and she denies it by saying “I don’t know”. My father admitted that something happened and I haven’t spoken to him since I got the news ( I don’t plan on talking with him). Lastly, my mom is stIll with my dad acting like nothing ever happened and my sister even has moved on like no big deal. I just can’t get over this or think that I should. Haven’t spoken to my mom in months because of it...sorry for the rant just has been on my mind a lot...
