It came from me because he refused to go to any of their C appointments, even though he was invited on many occasions. He won't ask D8, because then he might actually have to hear the answer. His family is very practiced at the art of If We Pretend It Doesn't Exist, Then It Doesn't Exist. Many of their issues are as bad as they are because they refuse to acknowledge or validate the situation. Its very much a Scarlett O'Hara mentality...Oh fiddle-dee-dee, I won't think about that today, Ah'l think about that tomorroah. They are very in tune with their own feelings, but have a hard time allowing anyone else theirs, especially if that means they have wronged or hurt that person.

As for making up for what hes missed, I agree completely, but own up to it and move forward. Its the denial and venom attached to it that bothers me.

But a second chance shouldn't be done at the expense of his oldest daughter though, right?
