[quote=Anonymous]My parents divorced when I was in college- my dad had been an alcoholic for as long as I can remember. He left my mom, remarried the week after their divorce was final. I was not invited or even told about the marriage (only child as well). He moved out of state a couple years later, never acknowledged my marriage or his grandson. I was pregnant with our daughter when I found out that he had passed away from complications from alcoholism- from one of my cousins 2 months after he had actually died. His new wife sent my aunt a Christmas card just from herself (he passed away in October, we didn’t find out until December) which caused all all kinds of questions. I really wasn’t sure how to grieve as I wasn’t really given the chance to grieve his passing. I felt guilty that I wasn’t there when he was really sick, as I would have dropped everything to be there for him, but his wife didn’t me that option. I didn’t feel like I could grieve it afterwards either due to the anger from his siblings.[/quote]
