Perma-cut from toxic dad tonight. I wrote him a massive email, telling him how I felt and made him accountable for the way he treated me over the years. He tried to guilt-trip me and make me feel terrible, along with doing emotional manipulation... Ain't gonna work, not this time. He's a poisoned branch that has been cut from my life for good. I have a massive weight off my shoulders after tonight.
An official new dawn has risen in my life, without too much darkness. I'm proud of myself.

Today is Feb. 13th 2021, and I'm feeling good. A week ago I cut all ties from my emotionally and mentally abusive dad. From grade 8 onwards, it was like all hell broke loose in the emotional/mental side of things and it just went to hell that has had long lasting effects on my mental health, my emotional well-being, along with a slew of other issues. Due to a bi-weekly wellness check I'm doing online on a mental health site that's been recommended to me, I gained the strength to call my father out on everything he did, and even my support workers were proud of me for doing what I did. I haven't felt this light in a long time, and I feel like I can finally move on and really start living again ^_^

I can relate to some degree. My father would constantly gaslight me and pretend to love me. While he never really physically or verbally abused me, his gaslighting alone was enough to cause me tremendous emotional pain. It was done in a very subtle way.
