[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like a great person and he sounds like an utter a&$ who never came to terms with how he treated his kids. But I wouldn’t take the memoir too much to heart. It sounds like perhaps it is focused on his professional accomplishments and maybe his childhood, as opposed to his personal life? Does he spend chapters talking about his second and third wife and step kid? If not, I would not take this throw away line about you to mean much, other than this wasn’t a book about that side of his life. Whether you want to have a conversation with him about the hurt is up to you. It might lead to some sort of catharsis and maybe he would say something helpful. Or you mjgjt just get a self centered reiteration of how hurt he was you got mad at him. You have to decide if you’re willing to risk the latter at this point. Either way, you’ve built a great life and you’re a much better parent.[/quote]
