Some people never apologize for their actions. They somehow assume that you 'know' that they are sorry. They may try to make amends in other ways. My ex started sending us money, after he became engaged to the ow. But I think you know enough about my situation....or ex-situation,lol.
Your father might open up to you if he had the 'safe place' to do that and you would hear an apology. I believe that you are okay with things the way they are...but only you will know if this opportunity would benefit you. You may not be ready at this time to even consider this.
Anyway keep 'dodging the advances' of the crazy moms and enjoy the attention. It lets you know that you are still attractive to the opposite sex. My D16's bf's tease her and tell her that she better hope she looks like her mother at 50. My S18's friends make comments and he just chuckles and shakes his head like you know she's not even listening to you. Her best friend calls it 'moxi or mojo.' I enjoy hearing how they look at life and seeing them learn what is important.
Wow, 50 next year. I don't feel it, but it does stun me to approach that milestone.
You will be ready when the time is right to let some lucky girl into your heart.
