[QUOTE="donna723, post: 114086, member: 1883"] OMG, you sound exactly like US about twelve years ago! My son was 15 when we divorced, and nothing his father ever did to me hurt me as badly as watching my son be hurt by him! It was just heartbreaking. And with him, it took years before he shared all the hurtful things he did to him, and I'm sure I have never heard it all. What it evolved to ... it took many years, but my son finally understood that it was through no fault of his own, no shortcoming on his part - his father was just a cruel, hurtful, selfish, manipulating jerk! And the lack of a relationship was [i]his fathers[/i] loss, not his! Thank God, he's 600 miles away now. His "relationship" with him now - two short obligatory phone calls a years, on his birthday and Christmas, He will call and then want son to call him right back so it's on sons' minutes instead of whoevers phone he's using! Nice, huh? His father simply is not a part of his life anymore at all - his choice, his loss, and he's the one who will have to live with it! And someday he will be old and pitiful and want his son around him and he won't be there. [/QUOTE]
