'Imagine my shock when I saw him standing there': Man walks out of his own birthday party after discovering girlfriend had invited his neglectful dad he had not seen since he was 15

We all have people we wish we could leave in our past and never see again. We want them to be an old memory, someone we will never have to face, and never have to deal with. Even though we are constantly being told we should get closure, to forgive those who did us wrong, so we can heal and move forward. Sometimes the only way to do that is by simply leaving them behind, forgiven or not.

One thing we know for sure is that the choice of whether or not you face that person again in your future should be completely and totally up to you. No one should decide for you, even if they think they are helping you. It is never helpful to be stripped of the control of your own life and forced to face demons you are not ready to deal with.

Is this a hot take? We're not sure. However, we are sure that the actions of the girlfriend in the story below were wrong, and we would love to know if you agree.
