[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know what it's like to have a multi-millionaire dad but I do know what it's like having one who was basically a total waste of time.  It would never have occurred to me when he was alive to feel crappy because he never offered me any help after proving my whole life (and before) that he was pretty much worthless as far as a relationship or assistance or support is concerned.  I felt like he was crappy, but not me.

Maybe stop thinking of him as Bank of Dad who won't approve your monetary desires/needs and just be grateful you don't need him in your life because you can do fine without him.

It sounds like this horse's a$$ caused your mother to consider suicide, you need to break that cycle by getting as far away from him in every way as you possibly can.[/quote]

OP:  Thanks so much for your response!  As I think about it, I’m less concerned with him giving me money than I am that something’s wrong with me for wanting that.  And I guess I’ve never been able to fully accept that he’s crappy, I’ve always just blamed myself.  Again, thank you so much and I have a lot more to think about now (😃).  I hope you have a wonderful night and your compassion is truly appreciated![/quote]
