[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your parents were two imperfect people, as are we all. Your mother made a mistake if she trash talked him and poisoned your relationship. HOWEVER, yes if you are focusing your resentment on her and not him, that is mis placed. She is the one who stepped up and parented you. If he wanted to be physically closer, he could have. He could have called, written, taken you out to dinner, whatever. [b]I think it's easier to blame your mom than to accept that your dad didn't got the extra mile to be close to you.[/b] That said, the best thing you can do is accept they did they best they could at the time and forgive them for their shortcomings.[/quote] The truth. It’s safer for you to resent your mother than to accept that your father could have done more. Allowing yourself to feel the latter would force you to deal with the feelings of rejection you felt during your childhood. [/quote]
