My father was a profoundly complicated man. Fiercely intelligent. Deeply haunted. He carried a lot of pain & he inflicted pain on others. His violent and terrifying alcoholism and other addictions rent the fabric of my childhood and teenage years. And yet, of course, I loved him.

Peace sure eluded him in this life. I don’t really believe in anything beyond this other than maybe the idea that our energy might return to the collective energy of the universe in some way. Still, I hope for his sake that there’s some comfort and peace in whatever comes next.

When I say I made this choice for myself, I really mean that. I feel healthier and more liberated by it, so in that sense, you could argue that it's selfish. Also, don't you worry, I still struggle with bitterness toward the world about so many things!
