[quote=Anonymous]The only thing I find odd here is that you haven’t processed these feelings years ago. Your dad hasn’t prioritized you in 20 years. You have got to find a way to move through the hurt and no longer have expectations that will never be met. I’m sorry it has happened, but you have to get to the point where this crap no longer bothers you so much — likely with therapy.

And I say this as someone with a dad that will never love his children the way they deserve to be loved, and definitely has a closer relationship with his step kids that come into his life in his 70s. He also will likely leave all the money to the new wife while continuing to lie to my face that the will he and my mom did, which is in my files and I am the executor, is still valid.

But I don’t expect anything different from him and none of it hurts me. He is pretty good with my kids so I see him and his wife in small doses and know that it is superficial. If he ever hurts my kids, the limited contact will go down more and perhaps end entirely.
