I was bringing a guy home for the holidays. As I told him about Aaron and I, the phone was silent; a pause on the other end of the line, “Is that that black kid?” Um yes, I said awkwardly.
My dad lost it.
He told me that was not acceptable to him, he was disappointed in me, and there was no way I was bringing Aaron over. Click. I was beyond hurt and surprised. I spoke to my mom the next day and she said my dad had pretty much gone off the deep end and I needed to let him cool down. A week later my dad sent me a text saying he was opting out of my life. I was not to call him anymore, I had 2 weeks to get all of my items out of our family home, he had removed me from his will, and Christmas was cancelled. I instantly began crying at my desk at work.
What was I supposed to do? Here I was in an interracial relationship living naively (I guess) to the world and even my own family. I clearly missed something. My dad was always my number one support.
