Quote: That being said...I know that the standoff isn't healthy for me. I just really don't know how to address it right now.
how about blantant honesty? I know that with my dad...who I don't talk to often (mostly I wait for him to contact me) because I don't aprove of what he's done with his life (that inadvertantly effected the lives of all around me including my children). When I do speak to him...the topic is most often avoided...but when it does present itself (ie when he had the nerve to ask me if I would mind his ow being at vacation) I am honest about my feelings. or to put it anther way...what I told him long ago (my parents have been legally d'd now for about 5years) I think you're a jerk for what you did (are doing) but you're my dad and I'll always love you.
