Joke is on me

I spend way too much time thinking about him. I spend way too much time wondering if he thinks about me. I try to remember the good times we had, but those were over 25 years ago now. I try to forget the verbal fights I used to witness, but those are things that are easiest to recall. I never wanted it to be this way. I feel like it is partially my fault that I didn't make the effort to go to his country and ask him the hard questions: Why did you leave the country? Why did you marry my aunt? Why did you stop calling me on my birthday? Why did you stop caring?

  1. You know it could be that you owe yourself these answers - or, better put, you owe it to yourself to ask the questions.

    This seems to loom large for you - you can get answers if you seek them hard enough but the window for that is closing fast.

    I hope that through action or inaction you find peace with this. It does not sound like fun, what you're going through.
