Lesley – Having spoken to several people, they have all said the same thing. That by keeping me out of this part of his life, he is protecting me. But that still doesn’t stop the confusion and hurt from my part. I understand his intentions are good, him wanting to protect his only daughter.
With you experiencing similar/if not the same emotions as my dad its refreshing to know that you let your family talk with you about it as I can only begin to imagine how scary the first few months would of been for you.
I haven’t spoke with him about it for a long while now, and for several months I have just ‘brushed it under the carpet’ and kind of hid from it, which I know is very wrong. I’ll take your advice and contact him to talk about it.. let him know I want to be involved and care for him as much as his other family do.
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
Rhiannon
