I havenât been to visit my family in England in 5 years.
My dad is almost 90 years old and even tho heâs healthy I honestly havenât seen a pic of him thatâs recent in 4 years due to the fact he lives in the stone age and has a flip phone so Iâm going off of his voice
Covid made me depressed today due to more variants because Iâve canceled my trip home to visit my dad for Christmas since 2019 and I keep pushing my trip back due to me not wanting to get covid or risk giving it to my elderly father
Is it wrong Iâm scared he will die before I see him again?
Like legit that my biggest fear right now
Especially because my dadâs a ladies man and can pull he just was dating a girl that was 60 who ended up recently breaking up with him for being âtoo old for herâ and he really was inlove with her.
Our last call on New Yearâs Day he told me and said âIf god wants us together we will be brought back togetherâ just because they go to church together and my father is super religious cos heâs an ex missionary
He sounded so sad so I donât want him to be depressed cos now heâs home alone
Anyways yeah this is me venting because yeah âşď¸âşď¸âşď¸
Edit: my dad has medical problems and is low immune. I am triple vaccinated. Despite the meth head trying to come for me, Iâm sorry I donât feel like risking giving my dad covid right now⌠my goal is to hopefully go this summer. So plz donât try to ATTACK ME for caring about giving my dad covid Like what the fuck?
Aw babe. I totally get that. My mom died in 2019 and I didnât get to see her much before she died due to work. I worry about that with my dad, too. He was dating someone and they recently broke up after a couple years. Heâs really depressed but so hard to be around. Iâm sorry youâre feeling like this.
Love u sm Jess. Being open with our feelings is something that people are still having trouble with, and your strength and ability to be open with this open forum is great. Here for you always
tyler93 my dad has medical problems so I wouldnât want to risk giving him covid. I would literally kill myself lol when itâs more safer later this summer I hope to go but for now I wonât till later this year
Awww, I'm sorry <3 and no, I don't blame you for being scared. I mean it's your dad. You don't want anything to happen to him, and ya know he could be at risk. So your fears are 110% valid. But I think you being able to see him would probably help ease your mind a bit because it's obvious that you miss him so I really hope that you will be able to visit home this year somehow brightongal <3
Yeah good thinking. Deffs go when it settles down a bit. Normally summer months it settles down because covid is harder to survive and spread in the warmer months
you're completely valid in hesitating and wanting to wait until you feel safer. It's sad for him being alone and lonely, but hopefully talking to him helps a bit. Hope you will be able to see him over the summer.
Stop hitting the crack pipe and instead get vaccinated, get a negative test and you can fly. Or even simpler solution get friends in your home town that have FaceTime. Problem solved. Now if he was dead that would be a sad blog. But fortunately your own decisions are keeping you from him whereas some of us donât have the option to visit the only parent we ever had.
jayelveeisback Iâm triple vaccinated, being vaccinated doesnât prevent you from getting covid tho maybe you should stop hitting the crack pipe fucking weirdoâŚ.
peace123 literally he looks so dumb
Also why would I risk my friends who go outâŚ. Going to see my father to FaceTime me LOL like why would I make my friends risk giving him COVID if I wasnât
If I've learned anything from last year it's that you never know when someone will pass away. I respect you for wanting to keep your dad safe, but if you can find a way to go sooner, I would highly advise you consider it.
^ I would also suggest going. Even if you want to stay at a hotel and see him from a distance of something. Or like you both wear masks and hug and then separate. I think it would be important to you both
