[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every other weekend kid here (starting at age 4). Also had a step mom come along who really didn’t like children at all. I hated those weekend visits. Unfortunately, my mother is unstable, so home wasn’t much better. I haven’t heard from my dad in 20+ years. I’m in my 40s now. I have a hard time when my kids ask questions about my childhood. I feel like I’ve tried to forget so much, and when those memories come flooding back, it’s just hard. I’m grateful for the life I have with my husband and kids, and I’m so glad they’re in a much more stable environment. My dad is still alive. [b]He won’t speak to me because I didn’t ask him to walk me down the aisle when I got married…but he’d been absent for so many years[/b], with maybe a phone call once or twice a year before my engagement..I never would have thought he’d be interested.

I’m sorry this is a jumble. Reading these posts brought up a lot of feelings. I hope everyone posting has found a way to heal.❤️[/quote]

Your father is presumptuous and entitled.[/quote]

Yep. He hated the fact that pp didn't play along and pretend he was a great father. [/quote]
