[quote=Anonymous]Same here OP (and others). My Dad is in pretty good health and didn't meet my daughter until she was 2. My Mom died while I was pregnant with my second child, and during a visit while my Mom clearly was going downhill (again, while I was pregnant) my Dad looked at me and said "I just need you to know I'm not going to be a grieving widower". My Mom was sleeping in the bed down the hall and dying of cancer that had metastasized all over her body. And then he told me how he "never really loved my Mom the way he should have..." after almost 40 years of marriage. Again, she was dying but still alive and all he could do was think of himself. And I paid for home health care folks to come in and help her (in addition to Hospice) because he acted like his finances were bad. Only to find out that his many girlfriends following my Mom's death have received expensive gifts. But at least I know my Mom was being well taken care of by trained nurses when I wasn't able to be there rather than my asshole Dad. So - I am actually glad my kids don't know this person and I am shutting him out of my life too, for the most part! [/quote]
