[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are upset with your mom about having withheld certain details from you about your dad, and your dad is reaching out to you multiple times about trying to explain those details, you should probably take him up on the offer and hear him out. [/quote]

PP here - I will add that you should take what he says with a grain of salt, knowing that in the back of your mind he was not the greatest person nor around while you were growing up but that does sound like some of it had to do with your mom's opinion of him. However, you must know that your mom only had your best interests at heart while you were younger and that he had to have done some actually bad things to shape such a negative opinion that she has of him. So, going into it with all this knowledge, I think you do need to sit down with him and have a chat or two. It will only be beneficial to you in that, even if it is not a constructive conversation, you now know that your mom was "right" about him and that can give you the closure you need if you don't want to speak/associate with him after the fact.[/quote]
