When I was a kid I lived in an apartment with my dad part time, parents were divorced. There's all kinds of messy drama involved in my childhood- when I was 12 my dad passed away in that apartment. Because of the aforementioned messy drama as a child I really didn't heal/have closure. I have maybe a slight obsession with connections to my dad. As a child I had behavior/rage in the grief and destroyed a lot of his personal items given to me. And my mother didn't really guide me in taking things I might want as as an adult when we went to his apartment after to clean out. Anyway - the apartment is still there. I am in the neighborhood often but never have time so it's always this afterthought. Today I happened to be walking around that neighborhood and I got the closest to the building I have in 15 years and I wanted so desperately to go inside. I lingered around(creepy I know) and I thought about movies and shit where the person knocks on the door and says they used to live there. But- it feels invasive, inappropriate, insane. I don't know if children live there but I have a child now and I know if someone did that to me I would feel very threatened/not okay...... What do we think? 🫤

I think it sounds like you're understandably still grieving the loss of your father. It never hurts to ask! You might regret it if you could've had the opportunity and never try.
