Question:
Slm At 4 months my dad left us, at 16 he was caught after commiting a crime 13 years previously and I went to meet him for the 1st time in jail. 7 years later he was released. I went to stay with him for 4 months. He made my mom out to be bad and I left. He then told ugly lies about me. I am 46 now and have seen him 14 years ago. He is very sick and family want me to go to him to forgive him. I feel nothing for him and do not see why I should go but I am also scared that I am upsetting Allah. I feel if I go, I will not be doing it for the right reasons. He does not exist for me anymore. Is that wrong? What can I do to change my mindset?
