i wish i could show my stbxh that life is fun and that i would love for him to be a part of this. i'm having fun and i still have a close relationship with my parents. you can have both.
I'm glad you're having fun!
I have to wonder about the 'close relationship' with your parents though. You recently said that you didn't want to go home while you still feel so vulnerable because of your father's emotional abuse. I think it is wise to stay away from people who aren't loving towards you at this difficult time, yet, I have to say that the relationship with your dad doesn't sound like a close relationship. A good father would never say those things to his daughter.
