Re: abusive parent dying

My fiancé’s abusive father was recently diagnosed with cancer. Before he said he’d celebrate when his dad died, now he’s torn apart with grief.

The father often abused him to the point of winding up many times in the hospital.

For those who have lost an abusive parent, how did you come to terms with the death?

Is there anything that you would have liked others to know during this time in understanding what it’s like?
