Yes, that's what I assumed you meant, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions.

Some tough love advice: This reads more like unresolved issues you have with your father. And it sounds like you've created this 13 narrative as a way of avoiding dealing with your feelings. As in, "Blame the number 13, that's why all this happened." What we often do when we don't want to deal with issues, is deflect and project. And that's how your words come across to me.

You can talk yourself into believing there are masses of people who believe this 13 stuff. But there just aren't. And to continue to argue about it, is deflecting. Bottom line, if you honestly believe that's the reason, then you may as well believe your suffering is a result of that mirror you broke, or that black cat that walked across your path. Because it's the exact same thing.
