My dad walked out on our family about 10 years ago, an abusive man, and took all the money towards me and my bothers university fund, most likely to pay for his cocaine and heroin addiction. He now has leukemia, from what I have heard, and I am not sure exactly how long he has to live, but he is not dying anytime soon. In 10 years I haven’t spoken a word to him, and if I could say one thing, what do you think it would be? Any suggestions? What would YOU say in this situation? How would you say it? and when?
