[QUOTE="donna723, post: 285506, member: 1883"] Are you sure that you didn't marry my ex? Really sure? This all sounds so very familiar! My ex treated both of our kids exactly the same way! My son wrote him off at a very early age and expected nothing out of him, which is exactly what he got! Still, his feelings were hurt over and over again. He was in his early 20's before he finally stopped blaming himself, realized that it had never been [I]his[/I] fault, and came to the conclusion that his father is just a total jerk! My daughter tried her best to defend him for years and years, never gave up trying to convince herself that he really was who she had always wanted him to be. It took her a lot longer ... like you it wasn't until she turned thirty that she finally let herself see him for what he is. And now, both have completely washed their hands of him, have had no contact with him at all for well over a year. He is now the grandfather of a beautiful little 8 week old baby boy and doesn't even know it. Unfortunately, this is what happens when someone treats their children that badly ... they reap what they sow! No one to blame but themselves either. The kids grow up and mature and look at the situation, not as a child anymore, but from an adult point of view, and things become much clearer. [/QUOTE]
