my parents split about 9 years ago. it took my dad a good 4 years to really be ok with it all. in fact, it seems ok, but i know deep down it just isn’t.

and it still makes me sad. for him, for all of us.

love your writing. have been reading fiendishly for about an hour. love it.

You remind me of friends I’ve lost touch with; reading your blog keeps them fresh in my memory even though my correspondence with them has faltered.

Your blog also always reminds me of a favorite line from a song a friend of mine wrote:

“I go slow with just one wish, this bicycle needs his fish”

They are a Pittsburgh band called The Working Poor, I know you like music, if you’d like the mp3 I’d be happy to e-mail it to you.

Thank you for all your insight and lovely prose.

While I am sincerely sorry for your suffering, I do not agree that fathers uncomfortable with communication are child abusers. Mine, was not. Being withdrawn does not a sexual predator make.

Daughters usually black it out from their memories (unfortunately I couldn't) and like Maria said, sometimes it's better not to say anything. Peace be with you.</p> All fathers who act like that are uncomfortable because of the guilt they still harbor from molesting their daughters as children.

More is left unsaid in our (father and myself) conversations than is said. And at times I know that after 50 years it is just easier that way.
