I know it’s just a day and lots of people struggle with these days but I’ve never felt so sad about it before this year.
My lovely Dad died years ago but I was lucky enough to have years of Fathers Days with him and really miss him.
I have recently found out (aged 50!) that he wasn’t my biological father, I know who was but he has also passed away and although it turns out he spent time with me when I was little, I never had the opportunity to wish him happy Father’s Day.
In addition I have finally divorced my abusive ex this year and he will be having a rubbish day as he is not in contact with our dcs at the moment (their choice) and I feel I chose badly for them. In addition their grandfather on that side doesn’t want to be in contact with them.
It just all feels like unnecessary loss all round and it’s making me sad.
