I’m seriously considering a name change, both first and last name. But I thought about it and I don’t want to deal with the massive paperwork issues, especially when it comes to citizenship papers and fact that I got citizenship status derived from my mother’s naturalization. I’m not sure if a name change would cause troubles.

Should I do it just for spite?

    Why punish yourself by not allowing yourself to have a family to attempt to hurt your father? Why not change your name is make sure your family ends the toxicity :)

      1. He dead. 2. I don’t want to raise what could be alcoholic bi polar kids. I got lucky, but that shit is in my blood. I wouldn’t do that to a human by creating them

        Didn’t think of it that way. Yeah, you definitely don’t want to pass that on. I hope your family is happy then :)
