I've been told he doesn't live near by so why didn't they Video Chat with him?If anyone was to dump their girlfriend/boyfriend through a text you're a coward. Face to Face proves that you're a man or you're courageous. It's just the natural thing to do. In this case coming out to your dad what's the best way? FACE TO FACE.
