considering the topic of this community, it should be obvious who i'm referring to...some people never should have had kids in the first place, and arent worth the heart/headache of worrying yourself with...right?

edit/ i realize this actually might have been too vague, i mean having piece of shit for a father. when do you just giveup even bothering to keep that connection going?

I don’t know if giving up on your child is the right thing to do, but I understand. If your child is an addict or criminal that is harming others or stealing from you specifically I don’t know if I could fault you morally for cutting ties with them.

Edit: it’s your Dad. Here’s my opinion on that. If your family members are making your life difficult and they do not rely on you, you’re under no obligation to keep interacting with you. I’ve cut ties with some of my family members, and never felt bad about it.
