[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't say anything about your parents relationship. Maybe he was completely miserable. You don't also don't talk about any of your own relationships. They can toxic and horrific to the point that one person has to leave.
'Lambasting' your father as a kid is very brave. I would have never dared to do that as mine was physically abusive. And him writing a book, very 'me,me,me'. You both feel like you are so right about your feelings and actions.[/quote]
OP is objectively right. Her parents’ marriage may have made her father miserable, but the solution to that wasn’t having an affair, moving his family far away, then dumping his wife and moving his AP in with him. He wrote a book that doesn’t even share HIS version of events. He met AP and the rest is history? That’s very passive, like he didn’t make any life choices and it was all something that just happened to him.

And sending his memoir to his ex wife and then hassling everyone about whether they’ve read it? My God, the nerve![/quote]
