I hate calling you dad,

it means I accept you having that position in my life.

That title.

That privilege.

You are not my dad.

Not my father.

Not the guy who is supposed to protect me from the world and all of its harm.

Because how can you protect me from something you yourself constantly cause?

Leave me to be.

I do not need you.

I never did.

I never needed someone who hurt me.

Abused me.

Broke me.

All I ever needed was a father.

A father who would love me with all his heart,

and make me feel safe in his arms.
