[quote=Anonymous]My husband lost his father when he was a tween. It was devastating, and his mother coped by being EXTREMELY overprotective. This continued into adulthood, which has been challenging. We have our own kids now, and we are only now realizing how compartmentalized he has been about the death. He is in therapy and on meds now, and we both wish that he had done this way earlier. He's approaching the age his dad was when he died, which is very hard for him. According to his therapist, it's going to be even worse when our son becomes the age my husband was when he lost his dad. So the TLDR is that it's difficult, even 25+ years later. It was the defining moment of my husband's life. [/quote]
