[quote=Anonymous]My Dad died almost a year ago. He divorced Mom when I was very small, then moved on with wife #2 and a new daughter. I was pushed aside. Looking back, the grieving started then. In my 20s, we reconciled somewhat but we never lived near one another so it was easy to keep him at arm's length. Then he got divorced again, started dating and put his GFs ahead of me & my family. Finally he married a nice woman and they had a good run. He ended up becoming a friend, someone I could talk to and a nice grandfather to my children. He got sick and died within one year's time so his death was somewhat sudden for me. I have grieved that he passed somewhat young at 68, that he'll miss so much of my kids' lives. That's sad for me. But I also think about what a selfish jerk he was over the years and the tears dry up.[/quote]
