So, I finally spoke to my father today. We got in a huge fight and I decided that I do not want to be a part of his "family" anymore. I am going to write him a long email explaining everything, seeing as how he kept interupting me with things like, "We wouldn't have any problems if you'd live your life differently," and "You've turned your back on God and God has turned his back on you."
Needless to say, I'm not getting my college fund money that him and my grandparents have been saving for me ever since I was little. I'm going to be struggling like crazy for the next year to make ends meet, but there's something comforting about the fact that I don't have to pretend to have a relationship with my father. Now that it's all out in the open, I can accept the fact that the love he claimed to have for me was not unconditional. Quite the opposite, in fact. I could basically hear him screaming, "If you'd only obeyed me, I could at least pretend to love you." When I asked him to define my "deviant lifestyle," he said, "You have tattoos."
Wow. Once again,

But yeah, that is very un-Christian like and just plain ignorant for your Dad to shun you like that. I guess he forgot to read that part of the bible where Jesus said "He who is without sin, throw the first stone".
