My dad abandoned me and my mum when I was five. He left to start a new family and had little to no contact with me growing up. He never asked of me nor paid any bills. I struggled with feelings of abandonment for many years, but I eventually moved on and built a life without him.
Recently, I got a call from his wife telling me my father is very sick and needs a kidney transplant. She told me that I might be the best match and begged me to get tested.
Apparently his own family are not compatible. I told her NO, I don’t owe him anything after the way he treated me. He made his choices when he abandoned I and my mom, and I feel no obligation to put myself through a major surgery for someone who is essentially a stranger to me.
Since then I’ve been bombarded with messages from his side of his family, calling me selfish and heartless. They said I’m letting him die out of spite and that I need to be the bigger person.
Even my mom think I should consider it, not for him, but to avoid carrying guilt if he passes away. I don’t feel guilty, I feel he is reaping what he sowed, but part me wonders if I’m being too harsh.
Being contacted at 28 to give an absent father my kidney isn’t what I bargained for. Should I reconsider?.
