[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 452422, member: 1157"] I've watched my girls give their dad a chance over and over, especially Youngest. It's a repeating cycle. They reach out tentatively, open the lines of communication, maybe even go visit him (he lives about an hour away), and then it blows up in their face again as he first begins to break promises, and then ultimately verbally attacks them, and insinuates that the lack of a relationship is their fault because of how messed up they are. The last time Youngest reached out, when it blew up, he told her he'd only been talking to her again because he wanted to have a relationship with the grandkids.. not her, them. She told him she was done, and she'd never expose them to his irrational and unpredictable behavior becuase he'd hurt her enough, and she wouldn't let him do it to them. Good for her. Of course, I'll bet she'll try again eventually. It's hard to accept that one of your parents will never been who you want them to be. Both my girls want a dad so badly.. their dad. I think it's definitely affected their choices in men, unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
