Bea, I understand what you are saying and it's difficult not to have some anger bubbling. It's difficult as a parent to see their children making the effort to love someone who has totally walked away from them for such a long period of time. I believe that one day, he may say he is sorry to them....BUT....it will be in his words and it will not come out as "I am sorry". He may say that he made many mistakes and one of them was distancing from them, etc.
Conflict avoiders have a very difficult time "owning" up to their mistakes and rather than do so, they sweep them under the rug or just ignore them.
Some day...all will be reveal to you and your family....
Enjoy the rest of your day. Happy New Year!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
