rooshy Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 So, today I found out that my mom's ex-husband committed suicide a few months ago. This was the man that raised me from age 7 - 22. I haven't seen him since 1999 when they divorced. He wasn't a good guy, he was a real bastard. Heavy smoker, heavy drinker, drug addict, narcissistic. My mom and I were never good enough in his eyes. He told me that he was "done with raising other people's kids", to my face. My mom is taking his death hard but I'm apathetic. He's the reason that I'm hesitant to start dating again because I don't want my kids potentially subjected to that kind of treatment. I was told that he had a lot of financial trouble, plus drug problems as well some health problems, and he wrote a letter stating that he didn't want to be a burden anymore. Is it wrong to be apathetic about his death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcoxwell Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Personally, I do not think it is wrong to be apathetic about his death, based on what you have written about him. If I were in your shoes, I likely would feel the same way you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
