So last night I plucked up the courage to call my dad out in a relatively respectful and well rounded manner about some of his recent behaviour and his response was a atrocious, he was genuinely quite horrible to me and it was really hurtful. I responded to one nasty message, but after the second petulant message, I left him to it. Sometimes I think the universe got it a bit topsy turvey and maybe I should've been the parent.
I'm as okay as I can be, there's really nothing I can do about it. So I'm just leaving it be and continuing to take care of myself.
The coffee date suggestion was received BUT they only gave me one particular and I happen to have genuine plans, so I asked about other days and they never responded. So I'm just not going to pursue it again.
