“It’s always been an awkward day for us cause we never seem to know where we stand with you every year. I’ve always envied people who never even have to think twice about greeting their dads a ‘Happy father’s Day””
Following this, Leon Barretto also wrote that his side of the family has been “trying so hard to slowly rebuild the bridge” they were trying to build but Dennis continues to burn it everytime he talks about private things in “press cons, interviews, and social media.”
“Papa, why does it seem like you enjoy hurting your kids in public? Why do you keep posting cryptic posts about us and allow people to bash us on your own Instagram page?” he wrote. “Do you think it does not pain all of us to not feel protected by their own father? It’s not that we don’t want to talk to you, but the few times that we do to resolve the issues, you communicate by shouting, cursing, and using hurtful words that traumatize us.”
