RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

MODERATORS
I have had times when I think to myself "would I rather have not been raised or have been raised by the parents I had". My logic being, if the latter is true, there is something to thank (in this case, via a birthday message). Though the fact your dad doesn't acknowledge the existence of his grandkids or the life your sister chose makes me wonder how right it would be that he expects tribute. It seems as if he will suspend his lack of acknowledgement for small gains. If he thinks "[son/daughter] is not my child, I have disowned them", do you think it would be wrong to think "well, as long as I'm not one of his kids, I hold no obligation here"?
