[QUOTE="totoro, post: 161195, member: 3155"] I just posted "Am I stupid" which kind of touches on this. I have had limited contact with my Dad. I also lost my Mom at a very early age. She was very mentally ill. She was kind of like your Mom but unmedicated. Our last conversation was not very nice. Granted I was only 9, but that is my last memory of her. Her anger. But I have realized it was hers. Her anger, not mine. I can't let it eat me up inside. Now with my Father, if he wants to change things and TRY to change things and become my friend that is his choice and he needs to try. Sometimes we can only do so much, we can put our hand out there but our parents have to willingly take it, we can't force them. And don't ever compromise who you are to get them to take your hand. Good luck with this. [/QUOTE]
