gone but not forgotten

so, i was sitting at the break area table with my fellow on break workers and i get a text msg.
i didn't recognize the number but it said "in atlanta - take good care and pls keep in touch.  love ya - dad"
i put my phone down and immediately thought, "you fucker."

what a complete and utter failure of a relationship with my father. 
and it's of not fault of my own.

it's refreshing to be able to walk away from a relationship that should be significant and it's so fucked up but none of it is my fault.  i'm not accused of fucking up, i haven't fucked up, and i'm not going to hang on to something that isn't my fault.

he's my dad.  i can't help but be hurt.
but it's his goddammed problem, not mine.

You're right. It's not your fault, nor has it ever been your fault.
