What do you think about it being 2 years since I've cut off contact with my father?
Wow, really? Why did you cut off your father?
He kept on saying hurtful things to my mother behind her back.
It sounds like your father was a toxic person. It is good to cut toxic people out of your life so it sounds like you did the right thing.
I love my father and I know he loves me. He just makes a mistake every now and then.
It's alright if that's all it is, you don't really need to speak with someone who makes you feel down. Even if that person is family, if they're toxic then spending less time with them can be a positive for you.
