[quote=Anonymous]I care about my dad a lot, but sadly we are estranged (for reasons that are mainly--though it is hard for me to fully discern/understand--due to his second wife's wishes and meddling). So, yeah, I wish I could have a relationship with my dad, but I have finally accepted that I have, after years of rebuffed effort, finally begun to do what he seems to want: I've stopped trying to re-establish a place in his life. It seems that what makes him happy is his new family, with no presence or reminders of his deceased first wife's kid. But I wish it were different. If I had a relationship with my dad, I would do whatever was in my power to make him happy as he aged. I also posted yesterday about my grandpa's cancer. This issue has somehow deeply affected even more because I see my dad in my grandpa, and know I would not be kept up to date or included if my dad were to become seriously ill. [/quote]
