Your blog is hones and hits places in my heart that I would like to ignore. The above ,is a part of life I can let go of.

I want fatherhood , yet I miss my marriage.

Some how my ex had the ability to act indifferent. Alot of coaching and gossip.

I have yet to master that skill, but my children are getting older and relate to your dad.

I wish 12 step cliches really worked. Sometime I cant let go, and let God.

Thank you for your sharing

Jeff

I never had a dad and my daughter hasn't got such a great dad, so I feel what you're saying.</p> I know I’m a little late here, but here’s a hug for ya.

What about calling your father, better visit him, and have a chat? There are ALWAYS (at least) 2 sides to every story. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that your father wonders why you never call him. Or is too embarrassed to call because of guilt for leaving you or whatever.</p><br /><br /><p>"Conflicts" like this are to 99% down to lack of communication and then one starts assuming things and assumptions are always wrong.</p><br /><br /><p>Talking about it ALWAYS helps!</p> All this bottled up emotion!

“Conflicts” like this are to 99% down to lack of communication and then one starts assuming things and assumptions are always wrong.

Talking about it ALWAYS helps!
