My mom called me and told me that one of my dad's sisters had emailed her a couple of days ago asking if she had heard from my dad. Apparently, my aunt hasn't heard from my dad in seven months and she has tried to contact him several times and he hasn't called her back. My mom responded and told her that we hadn't heard from him since 2001 and that she was unable to help her. She also told my aunt that she thought it was wrong that he didn't try to remain in contact with my sister or I after all these years but that she wished him well in whatever he was doing.
My aunt wrote her back saying that the only reason she had even emailed my mom is that she said she was worried and thought that perhaps my mom, my sister or I knew where he was. Apparently, he is living in Veracruz and he was going through a difficult time and that is why she was worried. She then mentioned that about a year ago she had talked to my dad about my sister & I. My aunt told my mom that he was waiting for time to pass by to let things cool down and that he hadn't forgotten about his daughters and that he missed us very much.
I have no idea how to feel about this whole conversation. Should I care that he hasn't been in touch with his family? Should I care that he is going through some issues? Life for me and my family has had it's ups and downs since 2001 and he hasn't been there for them. Why should I care?
I have this weird feeling that something is going to happen but I don't know what that will be. But I don't like it. All of the sudden the topic of my dad is back in my life. Why? To be brutally honest, I really hope that nothing comes from this email because I am not ready to deal with it. Ever since I hung up with my mom, I have been feeling restless and anxious.
