Thinking about contacting my estranged dad. Lonnnng story behind it, but there is bad blood in the family to the point that the mere mention of his name sends my mother to a frenzy. Both of them have done really horrible shit but somehow the narrative from my mother that it's all *his* fault - in reality both have been a major impact to my wellbeing and mental health.
She'll never see eye to eye, but I feel it's the more mature and healthy approach rather than the toxicity we currently have.
