[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 205263, member: 84"] Witz, this is my husband in a nutshell. I no longer protect the kids from the way he is. Now that they're adults I figure they can handle it. But Lord help him if I see/hear of him mistreating them cuz he's gonna catch it from me, and it won't be pretty. Odd thing, I did all that "protecting" but really, I don't think it did any good. I'm pretty sure by the age of about 10 they had their Dad's number. And relationships began to deteriorate from there. Sad. My kids respect their Dad because I require it. But they don't have to put up with his behavior. Nor do I fault them when they tell him off. (and they have) He did this to himself/them and has no one to blame but himself. Your Did is unable due to his issues. Your Mom I suspect, may have cast herself into victim role and now feels comfortable there. So they both lose out on a terrific daughter. Lose/lose for them all the way around. Although I am surprised that he even bothered replying. Have to admit in the back of my mind I'm wondering if he's not trying to make you feel guilty. That would be my husband's MO. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
