You don't have to accept his apology, and your brother is probably affected by it too, but guys have a different way of dealing with their emotions. Josh is probably just supressing it and not letting you see that he's actually angry/upset/hurt by what the letter said. At least your Dad is trying to make an effort, but that doesn't make up for the last 15 years of your life... no child deserves that. I hope you feel better about it, you have your friends and you'll always have your family who loves you.

PS.. is your refrigerator running?

I don't think you should feel obligated to write him back. It all depends on what you want from him. You obviously have feelings about the situation. Would you ever want a relationship with him? If anything, maybe consider writing to tell him how you feel, how this has affected you. Anger is an emotion tied to all this. If you truly don't want anything to do with him then perhaps it's better to not respond but it's something that maybe you've been suppressing yourself. Call me sometime chica.

feel free to vent, i vent about my damn dad on here lol. if you think it would make you feel any better to talk him, go ahead but don't let your feelings towards him keep hurting you. i've realized i have to just let my anger towards my dad go. i know i could never talk to my dad about the things he's done (he wouldn't listen) so i just deal with it inside myself. so maybe you should just accept his appology without contacting him and forgive him yourself. that way MAYBE you'll feel better and you don't owe him anything.. yeah easier said than done huh. about your brother, my brother didn't used to ever talk to me about things like our dad, but one time when he was really in the mood he went on & on to me about our dad, and i realized he really is affected by it in a big way - he just isn't as vocal about it as me. i guess that's just guys?
