[quote=Anonymous]As a parent at any age, you keep trying. Especially if steps are involved because although you may not have felt the downfall of a marriage was your fault-the kids were certainly innocent bystanders that endured great pain. My father was difficult to be around and my sister chose to be estranged from him for many years. Dad loved his kids provided very well, was never abusive or anything like that but just in general hard to spend time with. Dad kept trying with sister and eventually relationship repaired enough that he spent times with her kids, etc. It was entirely due to his efforts. When Dad died, my sister regretted the several years she was estranged and very grateful to have reconciled. Imo the bottom line is adult children should be more forgiving towards parents-we now know how hard parenting is! And parents should never give up trying to have relationship. [/quote]
