[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's natural to be disappointed about a mediocre parental relationship, especially when your other one was so strong.[/quote] I’m hoping this is just a generational thing where you dad was raised and believed that all he needed to do as a father and spouse was “provide” a paycheck. And thus expected or forced your mom to be the housekeeper, cook, raise the kids, play everything. Look for a different model and mate for you. Not all men just sit around when home. You are very astute in your post and see things clearly for what they are: he is self-centered Don’t expect this to change, build a good support network that does like to talk and can provide emotional support Finally, sorry for the loss of your mom. I know holidays can bring feelings up. She sounded like a strong and caring woman. You likely brought her great joy. [/quote]
