I do pity you...sm
It sucks when you have a parent who has chosen to put other things/people before their children.
I don't want to dissuade you from spending time with him. I mean forgiveness is important. But then again he didn't feel guilty about leaving for his "job" and not coming home to see his family for long periods of time. So you kind of feel like why should I feel guilty when he didn't? It is up to you if you want to see him more than the holidays and b-days.
My dad has chosen another family over his family. I am 31 years old and my parents divorced this year because my dad was running around. Well according to bank statements he is paying not only the woman's bills but is paying her daughter's car note and her son's electric bill, etc. Anything they want they got it. This woman's kids are in their 20s. I have to work to pay my car note and I am his own daughter. Which I realize it isn't his place anyways. But it is the principal. He has NEVER payed anything for me and I mean NOTHING. He has never given me money at all. My mom has helped me when I needed it but not him. But yet he can give them anything. He doesn't know I have seen those bank statements so he doesn't know what I know. It kind of makes it hard to want to be around him when I know what he does for them and has never done for me or my sister.
I kind of know where you are coming from in that I don't specifically care to be around my dad either and sometimes I feel guilty about it. But then again does he feel guilty for what he is doing? Apparently not.
Pity the son's mom as well but not the "boy"
and oh, PS: The "girl" could have closed her legs. Grrr! We are supposed to be "smarter" than that - "NO!"
And I guess you never have a weak moment and wallowed in your own self-pity.

Not trying to start a pity party, but today is the anniversary of my son's death, just very sad.
My son died 21 years ago today. I just really miss him. I honestly thought the pain would lessen over the years. On a happy note, today is my daughter's 20th birthday, and tomorrow is my son's 18th birthday. When they were little, I was busy taking care of them and planning their birthday party and that seemed to help with the grief and sadness. Now that they are older that has changed. This too shall pass. Thanks for "listening".
As an active dieter, you officially have my pity! (But you will have a small butt than me).....sm
The salmon cakes sound so yummy, love seafood, I usually make crab cakes, will try the salmon, do you make it essentially the same way? thanks!
Pity Party going on here. Head cold, stuffed up ears, cough, whaa! whaa ! whaa!
I have been working 7 hours so far today and have managed to type about 700 lines. Spending more time with hands reaching for kleenex and/or sanitizer. I HATE a cold.
Okay, nuff said I will shut up and suffer in silence.
Have a good one.
