Hey fellow Redditors,
I'm on the verge of completing the Google IT Support Certification, but I'm feeling utterly overwhelmed and stressed about my prospects in the IT industry. I've just scratched the surface and realized there's so much more to learn - programming languages like Python, C++, and many others seem like a daunting mountain to climb.
I'm worried that starting in 2024 is too late, and those who began learning 5-10 years ago are lightyears ahead of me. The thought of starting with a simple "Hello World" command feels like a joke. How many years will it take to catch up?
I'm struggling to find motivation, especially when I see others diving into advanced AI topics. Has anyone else felt like this? How did you push through and stay motivated? Help a newbie out!
Thanks for listening, and I look forward to your advice and encouragement!"

I acquired 2 acres in 1999(with deed) with a survey done in 2000. Both of these have been filed with the county clerk and can be found on the county's online official records search.
Last month I was messing around with an online tool to compare land areas on google maps and discovered a Farm to market(FM) road was built on my land in 2016. About 1/4th of the land is "lost" to the FM.
Based on my research(county's online official records search), my neighbors sold a portion of their land to Texas Department of Transportation(TxDOT) for the FM. The county sold 7 acres to TxDOT, 0.5 of which is my land. So it seems like the county believes they own my land.
So far I've met with 2 lawyers. The first lawyer put me in contact with a surveyor, he plotted the coordinates from the 2000 survey and it maps on with what the county sold(just an online plotting tool, no new official survey done yet). The lawyer has grown too busy to take my case. The lawyer he recommended didn't seem interested in the case and was quick to send me off to ask the county clerk for a check in my name(they didn't have one).
I've contacted TxDOT about my case and I'm currently waiting for a respond. I'm here to ask if there's any case precedence on what I should expect. I couldn't find this happening to anyone else online. Should I expect to receive 2016 value for my land? Since the FM was built new business have moved in very nearby, so can I get todays land value?
Taxes have been paid every year. No letter was ever sent to buy the land.

To all those curious travelers who saw an excellent price on Google:
HotelsInAmerica.com (HinA) is at best incompetent, and at worst a massive scam operation.
TL/DR: Linked to several other scam sites, no help desk support, unless you confirm immediately you'll likely be stranded.
Allow me to take you more patient readers on my journey.
In February, I made my reservation for this summer at a Hilton in a major US city. Several days later, I called the hotel to verify my information. No record of my visit was in their system. Calling HinA support, I was told this was usual and it might take a few weeks. I repeated this cycle one or two more times, and eventually was escalated to the HinA "Amendment Team".
Success! I got an email from travelhelpdesk@super.com (who knows how much they're paying for that domain). They had a booking reservation number from Hilton! I promptly called the Hilton hotel to verify this number, and was met with confusion. No record of that reservation. I sent more emails back to both Super.com and HinA, heard nothing back.
Eventually, I called a more general Hilton customer support line. Through a lovely customer support agent, I found out a few things about this Hilton booking number. First, it was for the wrong hotel, about 20 miles away from where I had booked originally. Second, this reservation had been canceled a few weeks after I had created it! The cancellation was from a company called Illusions Online (iOL), and she provided me with two phone numbers linked to the cancellation. I was able to hunt down the company, headquartered in Dubai. I verified both phone numbers, one of which was linked to iOL X which seems to provide the business-to-business support for making the reservations.
I proceeded to continue calling HinA support, speaking with various members of this mysterious "Amendment Team", all of whom said my reservation was still booked and good to go, at the correct hotel. None of them mentioned their travel partners or would pass me to anyone higher up.
Eventually I got fed up and contacted the iOL X phone number that I got from Hilton. There, I was able to find that the reservation was, in fact, canceled. I was also told of yet another agency, HappyTravel.com, which seems to have requested the cancelation. No reason was given, but this customer support representative also told me they'd work with their unnamed "travel partners" to resolve the situation. I still haven't heard back.
Today, my HinA confirmation page is still showing a successful booking but obviously it's an outright lie. As best as I can connect the dots, one of the various "Travel Partners" under this umbrella made a mistake, canceled the booking, and left me with no update or additional information. There seems to be a web of these travel sites (HotelsInAmerica, Super, HappyTravel) that somehow get past Google's filters, and all fall under the web of Illusions Online.
Do yourself a favor and avoid these sites. You might get lucky. Or you might end up like me, cold-calling Dubai after months of hunting down your reservation.

Bedpage.com is a classified advertising website that operates similarly to Craigslist, offering listings for various categories including jobs, housing, services, and personals. However, it's important to note that Bedpage has faced controversy and legal issues related to allegations of facilitating illegal activities, including human trafficking and prostitution.
As of my last update in January 2022, I don't have specific traffic data for Bedpage.com. However, it's worth considering several factors before deciding whether it's a good investment for ad posting:

1. **Reputation and Legal Concerns**: Due to its association with illegal activities, advertising on Bedpage may carry reputational risks for businesses. Additionally, supporting or advertising on a platform with legal issues can potentially harm your brand's image.
   
2. **Target Audience**: Evaluate whether Bedpage's audience aligns with your target demographic and whether your products or services are relevant to the categories listed on the site. If your target audience isn't actively using Bedpage, your ad investment may not yield significant returns.
   
3. **Alternatives and Safer Platforms**: Consider alternative advertising platforms with better reputations and a larger user base. Platforms like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or niche-specific websites may offer more targeted advertising options with better visibility and ROI.
   
4. **Ethical Considerations**: Beyond legal concerns, consider the ethical implications of supporting a platform associated with illegal activities. Investing in advertising on such platforms could inadvertently contribute to the exploitation of vulnerable individuals.
   
5. **Legal Compliance**: Ensure that your advertisements comply with all relevant laws and regulations, especially if advertising in sensitive categories such as adult services or personals. Failure to comply with legal requirements could result in legal consequences for your business.
   

Ultimately, it's essential to weigh the potential risks and benefits before deciding to invest in ad posting on Bedpage.com or any similar platform. Prioritize platforms with strong reputations, a large user base, and robust legal compliance measures to maximize the effectiveness of your advertising efforts while mitigating risks.

I hate myself because of what he's done to me. I can't function anymore without him. I keep having to tell myself all the bad things he did but it's not helping. I can't cope being alone anymore and I feel like it's never going to get better. I keep reading the posts here looking for support but so many people are saying they're months or years out and still feel the same and I just don't know if I can do that. I'm already so low and my self esteem was terrible before I met him but it's so bad now. I can't keep living like this I feel like every day is just too difficult for me. I already have different problems in my life and other abuse from my family that I can't escape from, and worse of all is they keep telling me how horrible I was for leaving him and how could I do that to him.
He blocked me so i can't even reach out. The last thing i said to him was a very intense letter about all the horrible things he did to me. I feel disgusted by him all the time but I'm absolutely useless without him. I'm so sick and tired. I keep having weird symptoms like last night I had so many nightmares and I woke up and the lights were all on and I was sat straight up in bed and I just don't know how that happened. I have headaches all the time and I've been taking painkillers everyday since it ended. I don't know I feel like the only way to cope is to swap the addiction for something else because I just feel like this is never going to end

I 33(f) have been married to my husband 39(m) for 6 years. I will call him Eric. Eric had a child (Ted) from a previous relationship and we also share another. We have been together for 12 years.
When we met I was an extreme party girl (21) who loved liquor and Eric was a daily beer drinker at home long before I came along. I did not see it for what it really was at the time.
He had his son (Ted) 50% of the time. Because of me, Eric and I essentially lived a double life for the first 6 months we were together. When Ted was at his moms I would go to parties with my friends and bring Eric every weekend and sometimes once during the week.
6 months into our relationship I was in a dnd accident which was my fault. Through that process I found AA and met amazing people and tried to get Eric to come with me. Our relationship was getting more toxic so I broke things off 2.5 months after my dnd accident. A few weeks later my step-father suddenly passed away traumatically. He was the one parent who didn't abuse me and was ever present. I almost immediately reached out to Eric.
Over the next year, we had a newborn. A couple years later, Ted's mom had overdosed on heroin but was revived and sent away to rehab. We had him full time for 3 years.
Shortly after Ted's mom was back in the picture (Eric and I were already married by this time) we found out that we were going to be stuck with a 44k debt of hers that Eric had co-signed on when they were still together. Our shared account was zeroed out on multiple occasions when we were pinching pennies to save up for a house. Eric somehow made it go away despite lawyers turning us down and Eric never gave me a real answer on what happened with it. Eventually we got a house. Our forever home.
Years later I am asked to sign documents to account for all income we receive as a couple. We were both to sign the documents. The document asked if we received child support, so I asked him knowing full well years ago he told me she stopped paying years before that. He reluctantly said yes and also reluctantly gave me the amount paid. Also saying the money almost immediately went to Ted's moms 44k debt. We were not in a position to talk deeply about it at that exact time. But noted it. I was asked to provide proof.
After a month of begging for the paperwork and offering simple solutions that were turned down. On the very last day we needed the paperwork I was given it. When I saw it, the math was not making sense. In asking probing questions and repeating them til I got a direct answer he accidentally let it slip that what money isn't going to the unpaid debt is going into his account he uses for his alcoholism and marijuana (legal in our state).
The only account I knew of was our shared account and the separate account I have in my name (that he knows of) to protect our savings from getting pulled in fear of our account getting zeroed out again due to the 44k unpaid debt. He then tried to backtrack.
I went completely catatonic. I see money go out of our shared account from his drinking and cigarettes and pulling money for what I assume is for his Marijuana. It did cross my mind sometimes the money (which was a lot) still never seemed to add up to how much drinking and smoking I saw happen which was always a problem.
I feel nothing. I'm hurt but not in the intensity I should be. I know I should be angry, I know this is a HUGE act of betreyal. I found out only 24 hrs ago. I'm terrified for my future. I pity him.
I am having him write me a letter confessing everything, what I already know and what I don't know. I'm also having him write in it why he did it and why I should stay with him because I am at a loss.
I am questioning my entire life choices now but it still feels like I'm in a dream. I have no idea if it will be enough. I'm afraid of losing my self respect, but I'm also afraid to leave, and leave Ted behind.

Hello, I’m the friend of someone above 60 yet not at pension age, whose eyesight is poor due to diabetes, yet stable due to ongoing treatment. They’re unable to support themselves without another person to assist them— they can’t read well nor go anywhere alone, and I’ve been helping them as much as I can. Not only do they have very poor eyesight, but due to a previous cardiac arrest during Covid, they also have poor endurance in day to day activities and had to leave their job because of it and go on Jobseeker. Currently they’re being monitored by their ophthalmologist, cardiologist and GP. At the start of the year, after around 3 years of submitting medical exemption notices to Centrelink, their treating professionals suggested that they submit the DSP since they’re not going to be in working condition for the foreseeable future, even with lifelong treatment. We collected all the evidence we could from the treating health professionals and submitted. We periodically called Centrelink to continue extending the medical exemption and eventually an officer called to collect more insights into how their eyesight was faring and how treatment was looking (around 4 months after the claim was submitted). The appointment seemed to go well and they told us that Sonic Health would call within a month’s time. Unfortunately Sonic Health never called and we recently received notification that the DSP has been rejected and we “would receive a letter” as to why, not sure how long that will take.
Are they supposed to keep doing medical exemptions via Jobseeker? They wouldn’t have considered DSP if they had any other option. I’ve considered that we go directly to a Centrelink office to see what’s going on, but will that do anything?

Hi, I think I got these correct but I would like a second opinion confirming that is true. I'm trying to match three letter words with 'expensive' letters (BFGJKPQVWXYZ) and without 'expensive' letters. First time in a long time I've used Regex so this is spaghetti thrown at a wall to see what sticks.
Without should match: THE, AND, NOT. With should match: FOR, WAS, BUT.
I'm using Acode text editor case insensitive option on Android if this matters.

Hi hi. I hope you're all doing well. I know it's probably sort of silly to come to a subreddit like his to just talk, but I wanted a place to do so and this seemed like the best option.
I'm so... so sad. And I try not to think about it so much, but it gets hard sometimes. I'm tearing up heavily just writing this post. I'm 20M, and I'm out of school, in College, but I had to withdraw from my first two semesters because I just couldn't handle it.
I'm doing my best to put on a happy face for everyone around me, including those I love, but I don't know how much longer I can keep doing it, I keep having these breakthrough days where I just don't have the energy to even get up, much less help around the house or get out to do anything.
My one thought that I always come back to is that I just want to be little again. The world was so much brighter then. I would come home from my elementary school and sit in the family office watching my mother play Plants Vs Zombies. And I always got so scared of the Zombies but I wanted to stay in there and put on a brave face for her. And then I'd go play with my toys... my Thomas the Tank Engine toys... those were my favorites. We'd occasionally go to the store and get a new one to add to my little train collection.. And my stuffed animals. I thought they were so magical. My mom would write me letters from one of them, one of my favorites. I think a little part of me died the day I found out it was just her. But I still had that childlike wonder, the feeling that nothing could or would go wrong. As I got older, things just got grayer. I don't know why.
I don't know why I have all these thoughts. I'm on a cocktail of medicines that SHOULD be working. But when I have them in me, I just feel... numb to everything? The dog I had for the longest time died earlier in the year, and I just didn't feel anything. It's not like I'm avoiding taking them, but I feel like... it just dampens anything I do. I know that's probably silly.
My mom and dad are so supportive of me and I love them so much. But I know they're not always going to be there, and there's always that little thought in the back of my head that says, would I be better off if I went before them so I wouldn't have to bear losing them? I know it's not right, but I don't know if I could lose one of them and still be okay.
Everything moves so fast these days. I have to pay attention to so many things. When I was little, nothing seemed like it would ever move. I liked it that way. God, I even broke down when my family changed the wallpaper in the house I grew up in. I still have a little strip I keep of that wallpaper I have in a music box. I never want to lose it.
And I love my dad. I love him so much. I know he's not got the same thoughts that I do, he grew up in a different time. I know I'm neurodivergent. And he does his very best to accommodate me, but he still makes me sad sometimes, and then he feels like it's his fault, and then HE gets sad, and then I feel awful... it's not the best dynamic, but I do my best to roll with it.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to post so much, I just needed a place to write down my thoughts, I think. I have no plans of taking my life, or anything silly like harming myself, but I need something. I don't know what I need, though. I just need these thoughts to stop. I get so sad... and I know I have an okay life. So why do I feel this way? Thank you for listening to me, if indeed you still are, and I hope you have an excellent rest of your night.

Dearest,
I want you to understand me fully, because I find it immensely difficult to communicate any of this unless it is all laid out as one mindset, for I fear being misconstrued as ill-intended when for me this is an exercise of truth and speaking that truth which I feel. It is an exercise of honesty, and one of humility as I lay bare before your conscious attention the fullness of my feeling.
I have loved and I have lost. A number of times now, in various ways. I have explored depths of despair, loneliness, grief, trauma, and other shadowy sides to myself and after entertaining death itself for years, I have emerged refreshed and cleansed. I choose life and all that this incarnation has in store for me while my lungs continue to take breath and my heart continues to beat.
My orientation to life has long been to clench and grip and grab and tightly hold on to illusions of control and security. To ensnare people with untenable relationship arrangements founded on a lack of self-acceptance and love. To entertain conditional and transactional experiences with other humans, for fear of being taken advantage of. These seeds I have allowed to take root have sprung up many times, as I have continued to water and enrich them with anxieties and fears. No longer. I choose to live and to love. I choose to cultivate a space of love that welcomes and accepts and validates and entertains without the need for gripping and containing those who enter it. And as the space expands the walls of my heart, the incalculable depths of loving potential arise to the surface and saturate my being. I choose to be love itself, incarnate as far as my current form will allow. I honor my limitations and find great serenity in accommodating and challenging them in due course.
One of my core powers is understanding the nature of limitation itself. Thus I recognize that in terms of my love, a limit does not exist that can ever long persist. My love is infinite. As I fall into the space of love, I too am infinite as a whole and no longer feel a need to leave this form, or end things, or to do anything especial to avoid suffering. I am just love itself, and that is enough to satisfy my mind and my heart and my soul. All that exists that may limit the outpouring of this love is the nature of my form, and that blessedly is ever changing—seemingly to the benefit of all, and will ever grow alongside the expansion of my heart.
This space is supremely difficult to remain in forever. But when I am with you dearest, I am always in that space. I am always in that space of love with you. Even right now. I am in love with you. Do you get what I am saying? I love you as a person, a human, a being in general. I adore so many aspects of you. But I am also IN the space of love WITH you. I am in love WITH you. I love you, but I am also in love with you.
I have no fear stating this. How could I be afraid of loving utterly she for whom I hold all desire? How could I fear you, dearest, when your embrace is pure comfort and pleasure? You are divinely saturated in feminine expression and attract every atom of my being like a super-magnet. In fact, you instead take all my fears away and alchemize them into precise and pristinely perfect inspiration for me to cheerfully ingest, effortlessly. You ARE my inspiration, my muse, my lady, my woman, and my lover in my mind and in my heart.
Your laugh is a fountain of music and your speech an enchantment for my ears. Your smile as you grin at me is so wonderfully and delightfully silly, mischievous, cheerful, hopeful, and full of desire all at once. I have never felt my capacity to love so challenged as by you, but neither have I ever recognized just how utterly willing I am and will ever be to fully explore that capacity with you.
The way your eyes sparkle with celestial radiance, and draw me down into their depths is a fantasy ride into the very dreamy undertones of my most private subconscious sensualities. And with a bright unserious laugher bubbling up in the blink of said eyes, you make me go to pieces with chagrin and humility in the best possible way. Often, your glance pierces with icy diamond sharpness, but gives way to pools of the most vibrant tropical paradise blue that are wells of the deepest wisdom; a spring from the mountains that begins a stream that will take a lifetime to meet the sea. I would swim in the depths of those pools forever, were I so fortunate as to be invited closer than the leaves of the trees on the edge of the forest. The Keen-Eyed I name you, for there exists no veil or shroud over me that your gaze cannot penetrate with swift and unyielding overtones of warmth and delight. No shadow can endure that light.
Your skin is taut; your muscles wrought—of strength, and powerful endurance. You make the lands vibrate with joy and excitement as the wind chases your feet as they dance through the world. When it is out, the sun glows dazzlingly, glittering with tiny rainbows of color as it plays across your aesthetic and athletic form, and all the wildflowers yearn in anticipation as you pass—hoping for the glory and chance of being picked and tucked behind your ear—to their greatest delight and honor. Framing the soft expanse of your brow, the tresses of your hair flash with a rare and glorious golden radiance that only the light of the stars glittering in the inky darkness of night could produce. Their glow traverses the infinite emptiness of space only to at long last become ensnared and woven into the soft strength of each strand, to radiate that light anew.
When I hug you, I realize that if I could, I would freeze time and spend an eternity just holding you in my arms, lovingly caressing your hair and back as your soft gentle weight presses into me, comforting me utterly with the honoring of the full humility of my stark humanity. Feeling your acceptance, and validation and encouraging enrichment through holding you makes me possessed by great sorrow, knowing I must let you go, but it also leaves me with a lasting serenity and pleasure, knowing that within the space of this long lifetime, I somehow have been so unbelievably fortunate as to have been graced by so loving of an embrace. Humans go entire lifetimes without ever experiencing such a wondrous experience, and I treasure it every time it occurs.
You will never owe me anything, nor suffer any binding at my hand, save those of your own choosing. I offer you infinite depths of connection and reassurance amidst the wide world, but I do not seek to contain or cage you. You have a path to walk just as I do, but I would have yours lead back to me each moment that it may. I would cherish and love you all the days of my life, and never would I intentionally overstep your boundaries nor subject you to violence. I would uphold your honor and work to emphasize your grace with my own stature and beauty and power. Such that is granted to me by the space of each moment, anyways. There is great potential for mutual growth and fulfillment between us over the length of a lifetime if we are willing to invest in developing a deeper intertwining of our bodies and our souls. I recognize many limits but no limit to the depths we might explore together. The universe is vast, but perfection abounds from the highest highs to the deepest depths, and as long as I have you nearby, I may envision it and establish it in turn, for the benefit of our family, should you choose to spend your time in my company in a home of our own.
And if your choice is to seek a path that follows a diversion from my own, I will accept it with graceful resignation, wishing you only the utmost happiness for all your days. I may strain to understand how any other might love you with greater ardor than my heart is aflame with, but the cosmos does not revolve around me, and I recognize that there persist many potential partners of greater consideration and so I willingly let go of any claim I might try to lay for your hand. Instead I offer only a blessing, that should the universe favor me at long last, that this letter will not fall astray and will arrive to a welcome reception in the halls of your heart. Should it not, I will sit with contentment, recognizing my own bravery and madness in sending it, and regretting not the choice to seek your fancy.
You are a treasure dearest, and I am a treasure seeker. I covet many gems and beautiful minerals and crystals that this wondrous planet has grown and shaped. But no crystal radiates as you do. No crystal has so beautiful of colors. Nor is as delightfully energizing as you are. I find no greater assurance in any rock or stone than I do holding your hands and being within the sphere of your aura. I have faith that I will become as strong or as harmonious or supportive as ever you might wish me to be, if only were the smile in your eyes to wake me from dreamspace each morning alongside the rays of the sun and so inspire me to greatness.
May this wishful boat of heartfelt intention and deep desire sail gently into the cavernous depths of your being beneath the mountainous wall of the outer bulwark of your defenses, and may it receive safe harborage in the twilight pools of dreams that glow like galaxies in the soft glimmer of crystal-laden caves that house your soul. May it meet there the doorway to your heart, and may it pass over the threshold, to begin anew the conjugation of the universe with itself through the vehicle of our mutual love.
For K,
Who never received it, having chosen another lover.

Secondary help...
TLDR: Connect low back injury to ankle tendonosis.
I'm needing to connect my ankle diagnosis to my (soon to be) service connected back injury.
Back story: injured my back in Afghanistan 2009. Herniation of L4-L5, L5-S1, and multiple bulges above. MRI showed 60% spinal stenosis and ligament damage. Still deal with sciatica and daily low back pain. Since then, my ankle repeated supinates (rolls) causing chronic tendon pain/stress. VA PCP diagnosed ankle tendinosis. Ankle MRI and x-ray shows calcineal enthesophyte and tendonopathy.
I need to find a connection between the back injury and the chronic ankle issue. It was never an issue before my back injury but now my ankle will just give out or be too weak to maintain support. I have been researching medical articles but haven't found anything concrete yet. My PCP and chiropractor have both said it's possible they're connected, but neither are comfortable writing a letter. Chiropractor primarily said he wasn't comfortable because he wasn't treating me from the onset.
Additionally, I've already filed for bilateral radiculopathy in both legs secondary to the back.
I appreciate any help provided!

TLDR: Connect low back injury to ankle tendonosis.

Like the title says, I'm looking for a decent light/laser combo for construction. One of my coworkers has an olight arkfeld that seems to work really well and looks great for edc. I've tried googling good green laser pointers but I'm mostly met with results that have random letter names presumably from China on amazon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Despite what a lot of the SEO community had said and hoped for, Google has not really hit most of the large FREE parasite sites we have been using for well over a year now!
Here is our step-by-step SOP to making $300-$500/day from FREE parasite SEO campaigns:
Step 1:
Identify target niche + affiliate offer.
Step 2:
Collate all analysis and data on the SERP, affiliate offer and check for existing sites in your list.
Step 3:
Create optimized content for each page using cuppa (under $0.25c per 2.5k word page), using bulk mode for non-competitive niches and single article generator for competitive niches.
Step 4:
Use a tracking redirect like bitly to monitor your affiliate links and insert them (as CTAs) into your articles.
Step 5:
Create accounts (or re-use accounts) for each parasite page and publish your page - Add each published pages URL to a sheet, with one tab per keyword you go after.
Step 6:
Repeat until you have 5-25 different pages live, and for very competitive niches, build additional supporting content with internal links on the parasites that allow you to.
Step 7:
Repeat daily for 30 days across 30 different keywords/offers (or more if you can), track your successes and build off them (more pages, more keywords, more similar offers etc).
Step 8:
Profit, quit your job and move to Thailand.
Best sites to use right now:
YouTube, Reddit, Quora, LinkedIn Pulse, Forums, Google Groups, Medium and Facebook Pages.

I (29F) have a tumultuous relationship with my dad. He didn't take part in raising me since he and my mom divorced when I was 2 and we moved away, but we've been in and out of contact my whole life. He would send letters and then move, change his number, set up visits to us and never show up, quit paying child support, etc. We've talked on and off throughout the years but it always ends in arguments.
I can be pretty subborn and argumentative, so I don't tend to let things go if I don't feel like I have closure. This is where I'm starting to feel like the asshole. A few years ago in the Fall, I got pregnant and was stoked. I told him the news after being out of contact with him, and he was very excited too and booked a trip to come visit me around Christmas. Unfortunately, it was an extremely rough pregnancy for me. I got hyperemisis, lost 20 pounds, and had a miscarriage. I miscarried about a month before he was scheduled to come visit.
When I told him the news, he seemed sad at first, but then he stopped talking to me for about a week. About a week after I told him, he cancelled his trip to visit, saying he had Covid. (The trip wasn't for another 4 weeks, so I was confused but didn't push it). When the time for him to visit rolled around and I hadn't heard from him much, I saw him partying with his new girlfriend at a bar. I got extremely upset and blocked him on everything without saying a word to him. My miscarriage was also complicated and I had to have two surgeries to avoid getting sepsis. The whole thing was incredibly traumatic, and I was very hurt by him not showing up.
Fastforward to today, I've established contact with him again. He reached out to me on LinkedIn of all places, so I got worried something was up. Nothing was up, he just wanted to talk. He didn't ask how I was doing, he didn't ask if I'm okay, he just wanted to "talk to his daughter". We made small talk over a few weeks until he brough up my miscarriage off-handedly and I kind of went off on him.
He keeps saying he can't fix the past and he made mistakes, and he also tells me he was working a lot and that he had it really rough. He keeps saying he doesn't want to argue and he just wants to talk to his daughter, and that makes me feel a bit bad.
My dad has also told me that I am an asshole and no explanation he gives me will ever be good enough for me. Am I the asshole for refusing to forgive my dad for abandoning me?
