[quote=Anonymous]Based on what you've said, my own Dad and my son who has a weekends Dad. My thoughts:

1) Men of that generation and pretty much still, cannot survive without a woman (they believe). I've seen men disown their previous children to please their wife (many, many military men I know). In that context you were always second to her and still are.
2) Men are very uncomfortable with deep conversations. If your text implied that, he was trying to prepare himself.
3) His outburst towards you was wrong. My guess is his wife sucks and rained down on him what a burden you were. He was stressed and let it out.
4) Back then men weren't given equal custody. He probably had and believed the chip on his shoulder regarding custody and child support. That's not about you, that was about your Mom.

All that said, it's ok to admit your parent is a self-absorbed twat. That said, I have an intact family and my Dad is emotionally useless so it's not like I have a great Dad either but that's not related to divorce. That's just him.[/quote]
