[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posting yet again because as a person who has dealt with a difficult parent for years and is now distancing myself, this really struck a nerve. You are quite generous with OTHER people's time. Maybe it;s time to appreciate all your relatives did despite his difficult behavior and be grateful. You would have had to pay a small fortune to hire people to do that. No good deed goes unpunished it seems. I gave and gave and when I finally distanced for sanity the same people who had every excuse not to do more were critical. Have grace and gratitude OP, it's a better look.[/quote] Agree with all this, plus it sounds like OP’s father took terrible care of himself. With the reference to his love of food and not counting calories and avoiding doctors, I’m guessing he was obese and sedentary to die so young. I’m sorry for your loss, OP. I think you should stop worrying about 14 years ago and focus on the rest of yourself. Live healthy. [/quote]
