I'm a bit lost here, to be fair. I went full no contact with my family back when I was 16. Took a hike, even across countries. So, apparently what happened, was my ex brother in law not keeping his mouth shut and sharing my number with my family. I still can't make heads or tails of it. But now my dad wants to be real chummy and friendy with me? Fuck that, honestly. I'm not super mad at him, more at the rest of my family, but it seriously hurts right now. What am I supposed to do? I'm at a loss here. Haven't really talked to the person for over 21 years.

With respect, 16 year old brains are not physically developed enough to make that decision. It’s why we don’t let them vote.

Things may look different today. I stand by my suggestion.

anyone who's been abused as a teenager could tell your differently. your advice is wrong, sorry.

It isn’t really. But you are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

Entitled is an ironic choice of words for someone who's never been abused and says teenage abuse victims aren't "developed enough" to go no-contact with their abuser. Foolish human. If you respond I'll block you instantly without reading it to verify that you've read and understood my comment.

16 year olds would call getting grounded abuse. But there's not enough info to know whats up in any way.

But you do seem like an absolute asshole, so I'm blocking you. And no I'm not the person you replied to.

You seem nice.

Yeah the guy isn’t a stranger to L takes. “Maybe cut the guy some slack” pfffft. Abused or neglected at 16? Nah you're too young to know that apparently.
