[QUOTE="DDD, post: 104823, member: 35"] It's a rough lesson but it is part of growing up. Yes, I know it is a bit more extreme than most families but once we are adults we often have to face that our "heroes" were in fact just humans who made some good choices and some poor choices. It is painful but it is also freeing. Somehow it allows each of us to live with our own imperfections when we accept that all of God's children are imperfect. Because Jamie now knows the truth about the not so pretty side of your Dad he should be able to make the decision as an adult whether it makes sense to punish an 81 year old man for past weaknesses or whether it makes sense to forgive the past and enjoy what's left of the future. I think it is important that Jamie (and all easy child's) be gently reminded that although they are easy child's they, too, have faults and will make mistakes as adults. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
