[QUOTE="Star*, post: 385285, member: 4964"] Janet..... I think sometimes things we miss out or have misconceptions of in childhood are some of the hardest things to get over in adulthood. It's kinda like "Okay - NOW I 'get it' - and I could 'do something' because I 'get it' and it's unfair because it seems like it's 'too late' and it just adds to the frustration. So my advice to you is to realize all the positives you HAVE realized about your Daddy, and go from there. I mean the "what if's" seem to far out-weigh those "my Mom coulda, woulda, shoulda" in this case. Suffice to say we get your Mom had issues. I don't know anyone that didn't. Some more than others -true. True. But YOUR Dad got to meet his Grandkids and Wow - I'd give anything for my son to have gotten to know my Dad. I lost my dad to Pal-Mal cigarettes and heart attack during a quad by-pass. I didn't get to see him for 2 years due to my X - and lots of other crazier than crazy junk because of my X - that I would just like to stuff that jackwagon in a pickle jar upside down over and would now I think given an opportunity. But what I'm getting at here isn't pickling - it's appreciating what you have, while you have it...no matter how short the time. I hurt for you when you say you aren't ready to say bye to your Daddy.
