[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 652168, member: 1550"] Oh, it's just more guiltitis. Let's face it, everywhere we look we are bombarded with how we *SHOULD* be doing this and that for our family of origin, even if that person abused us. I know adult kids who were sexually abused by Dad who tended to him to the last. Heck, when I worked at HeadSTart, you talk to the bus driver a lot when you are an aid. Nobody else is t here in between the kids. One driver told me how her father beat up everyone, including her mom and her. She was the only child who didn't drop out of school and leave home and there were eight of them. Guess what? Now whenever he has a hangnail, this woman runs to his bedside. When he was finally diagnosed with brain cancer she was bawling and had to go home. She had also claimed sexual abuse, I believe, but not sure. Whatever...she did tell me about her horrible chldhood in detail. I think some of the other sibls were at his beck and call too and very distraught that he was going to die. I don't get it. I will never get it. "Well, he's my father." No, he's your sperm donor and maggots can make babies. A father loves you, cares for you, protects you, teaches you about life...he does not beat you. I will never understand it. Lucy, detach, detach, detach. When elderly adults turn into children again, and I'm not talking about Alzheimers, I mean acting like little kids to get attention, it is such a turnoff. I'm not young myself and unless I do have dementia I will never do that to my children. It's the absolute worst. [/QUOTE]
