I shall be thinking of you tomorrow....and what fantastic news about your dad!!!!!
What I said before was based on what it was like living with my dad. When my mom walked out on him, taking my sister and I with her, it was the best thing she could do. It was a gift to my dad - although he has never been able to see it that way. It was what got him sobered up in the end.
Appearances were a huge thing to my dad....how the world viewed him was important. To have his wife walk out on him made him feel ashamed enough to pull himself together. Sometimes, what seems to be being cruel to someone, can be the kindest thing. My mom stopped enabling his destructive behaviour. My dad is now 81 and I think he would be dead by this time if it hadn't been for my mom's actions. He does know that but he is still too darn proud to acknowledge that.
As I said, I shall be thinking of you tomorrow Sue. (((((HUGS)))))
