[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690499, member: 19951"] Copa- I am glad that you did find your father eventually and in some ways got some closure. YOU saw what he was like, how sad of a life he chose to live. I love how you said, "being around him made me less, not more". What a powerful statement. I don't think your Father hated you- but he hated the fact that his life was :censored2: and you were everything that he was not. Self-hatred is what he was feeling. I am sorry about the loss of your brother. I have 4 half brothers. Three from my mom's husband and one from Dad's wife. I lost contact for years after Mom died, but reconnected a few years ago. I saw how my life would of been- and let me tell you- I was blessed to be adopted by grandparents. They all have issues, one being an alcoholic. But they compete with one another and fight. My other half-brother, never knew about me until a few years ago. I found him on face-book. He was angry at first, about lot of things.Died Dad in 2001- I never knew. But mostly that Dad never told him he had two sisters. He is a sweetheart. He in fact, found my brothers graves. They were unmarked. No one bothered to get them a tombstone. We are going in together to get tombstones for them- he insists on paying half. How wonderful a man he is- and my Father was such a :censored2:. Couldn't even put tombstones on his sons graves.I wonder, did they matter either? So here we are Copa, Warrior Mothers, being able to love our Children, warts and all:) [/QUOTE]
