I feel sorry for the lack of connection my D's have with their Dad.
I'm sorry they hurt from it.
Are they better off that he's gone? I would say no, b/c we are introverts and his not being there puts a chasm between them.
I feel bad that this has happened and I see some of the impact in my D's R's. Fortunately the youngest is in counseling and that is helpful. The oldest writes and uses her art as an outlet.
Do I wallow in it and feel guilty? Wallow no, guilty, for my part in all of this. Having said that though, the biggest thing I learned to do was forgive myself for his leaving.
