My mother has given up on trying to convince him to change his mind, including suggesting he see a therapist. I'm trying to live my own life and move on, but I still want a relationship with my family. Your father is who he is now, past or future notwithstanding, and that’s the challenge you need to face. Your inability to sleep, your “suppressed anger” — and, oh, that signature — are all saying you can’t “compartmentalize” this. Good family therapy might be just the sleep aid you need.
