It’s all about empathy. If they lack empathy or kindness then fuck them. I don’t want them in my life and I prefer not to interact with them.

As father of an 18-year-old who is about to turn 19 and a 17-year-old she’s about to turn 18, I can’t imagine booting either of them out at this age. Could they stand on their own? Probably, but it seems inhumane and cruel.

I hope leaving was your choice and that it worked out well for you.
