[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you don't grieve the loss of what your dad gave you, you might grieve the loss of what might have been. Once a person dies, there is no longer any chance of any other kind of relationship. One might grieve the lack of closeness, between father and child and father and mother, even if one never had it. Do you normally feel like a robot? You maybe grieving more than you know, or maybe you aren't. However you feel is OK, of course. [/quote]

Agree with all of this[/quote]

OP, i will be going through the same thing when my father dies (except my father was pretty emotionally abusive).  exactly.

to the above PPs, for me, and likely OP (if she has ever done therapy)...i have already gone through the grieving process of what it would have been like to have a more available father.  i now rejoice in the fact that my DH, while we have our own marital issues, is an amazingly engaged father with our kids and that my kids will not have to suffer like i did.  and i can totally see me being just like OP when my father dies.  i mean, i'm sure i'll have moments, but for the most part i have already dealt with that hole in my heart and don't waste any more energy wishing it was something that it wasn't.[/quote]
