when my mom disappeared
Jun. 22nd, 2021 03:41 pmMy grandma died when I was 8, and the man my father (Nelson) was died with her.
He hadn’t been a super attentive father, but my mom tells me he played with me every day when he got home from work, and we went on vacations as a family.
He listened to me. He liked being around me, and apparently I liked being around him. He loved games, so we spent a lot of time at arcades, and he would invite my friends to go along too and pay their way.
Nelson didn’t handle his mom’s death well, and he turned into an angry, distant person who didn’t even seem to realize I was still there for a few years.
When he did start to notice me, it was to yell at me for something or complain or demand something. He wasn’t nice anymore. Ever.
