[quote=Anonymous]If he was just stating "I was such a good parent." I would 100% let it go. He's old, it is what it is. But if he's really ASKING that changes my opinion. I'd try answering with something like "why do you ask?' That may help you come up with the best answer for the situation. If it seems like he honestly wants to know, I'd try "sandwiching." One good thing, one negative thing, one good thing, without an overall statement. So something like, "I always felt loved at home. I do think that some of my experiences around the divorce were a bit less than ideal. But I also remember just loving spending time with you n your workshop. Remember when I helped you make that chair? What a wonderful memory." [/quote]
