[QUOTE="Shari, post: 205194, member: 1848"] Its nice he at least took the time to write back. The difficult children' bio father has been suggested to be narcissistic. It fits. And it also helps me to not paint him in a negative light to both the boys - I beleive he loves them to the extent that he is capable. To you and me, that's hideous, but I beleive he just doesn't have the capacity to truly love other people. Even when he does demonstrate his "love" for others, there is an underlying reason for himself why he's doing it. It is actually the trait that makes him a good nurse. Sounds like you have a good husband, too, who sees it all pretty clearly. Take it for what it is - most likely, a note of endearment from a man unable to do any better. As for being angry with your mom - I'm with you - darn right you ought to be. Just cause your dad isn't capable of doing any better doesn't mean you didn't deserve better, and she possibly could have protected you from his harshness. Hugs. Hope its a good day. [/QUOTE]
