[quote=Anonymous]I was not physically abused (spanked, yes) but my dad is a very selfish man. He limited the help my mom could give me when one of my kids had a 4 month health crisis in the hospital, and I needed help with my other kids. We have been doing family therapy. She has gotten him to join the sessions recently. She and the therapist got him to read an apology recently. He didn't say what he was apologizing for, he made it clear that anything he could have done wrong was 'not his intent at all', and he sounded like a schoolboy being made to apologize by a teacher, but I consider it progress. I don't think he and I will ever be close or even get along well, but maybe we can up our visits from the current one-afternoon-per-year where he nods at my kids for a moment and then pretends he's the best grandpa in the world.[/quote]
