Talked to him the other day for the first time in 9 years. Amazing. It was the first time I’ve truly smiled and felt happy honestly in as long as I can remember.
I also talked with my aunt and my cousin on Facebook.
I did this despite the tyrannical demanding of my step-dad that I should not do so until I am out of the house. And as a matter of fact, I did this the same day that I hung up on him (after calling back since he first hung up on me when I ran out of gas 5 miles from home at midnight), ending the call with “fuck you.” Furthermore, this was the day of my college graduation.
