I just found out my dad is dead.

Edited to add (11:30 pm):

Warning: This might get a little gruesome.









I went to my mom's house and met up with my mom. My brother and my brother's girlfriend showed up later. I mostly sat there quietly while they talked about all the stuff that needs to be taken care of.

I found out that he died over a week ago but since he was practically a shut-in that no one noticed until yesterday when my aunt tried to call and went to his place (no one answered) because she was concerned (It had been 10 days since anybody had heard from him.) My brother ended up going over there with the police and had the landlord open the apartment. My brother was saying that the medical examiner needs dental records to make sure it is my dad because he was so badly decomposed. My brother had to wash his clothes when he got to my mom's place because they smelled so bad.

I don't know how to feel about all this because I haven't talked to my dad in over 3 years. I just wasn't ready to talk to him. I keep thinking about the fact that everybody was telling him that if he kept doing the harmful things that he does to himself and others, he would die sad and alone.
