A month ago I had a falling out with my dad. Thinking back through my life he never really made an effort to be a part of it. You know that song Cat's in the Cradle? That was what our relationship was like. A month ago he asked me to spend some time with him. There was a time where I wanted him to want to spend time with me, but after a while I just stopped caring. I didn't hate him for being too busy. I just felt apathy towards him as a human. So he wanted me to spend time with him and I told him I didn't want anything to do with him. I explained why and he made up excuses about always being too busy. I eventually got tired of listening and just hung up the phone.

Yesterday a month after we had our falling out he decided he wanted to try and talk to me. He started up with his excuses again, but I humored him. Today he wanted me to meet him so I decided to. I showed him a few videos on youtube then went grocery shopping with him. Deep down I felt nothing though. I was just spending time with a complete stranger. This tells me it's probably too late to salvage any kind of relationship.
