[quote=Anonymous]OP, I did not read the other responses.  I can only give you my experience.

My dad died young.  My mom was/is very spoiled.  When they had an empty nest, and became older (not old), dad became very ill.  When he became ill, he became less strong.  He was no longer able to tell my mother to "save it" (toward me), because he was battling for his life.  She was supposed to be taking care of him.  She had a boyfriend.  Dad did not know, I am certain.

Dad and I had always been the closest in the family.  It really saddened me that he was sick, and had to change, out of his sickness.  But it gave me perspective that I was saying goodbye to him.

I don't know if this helps you.  But if you are the closest to your dad in the family, do what you can to maintain your relationship with him.  Talk to him on the phone every day, hear his voice.  FaceTime.  Let your child see and know him.

Do what you can to minimize her noise, but don't break your father's heart.  GL.
