Mandy, I can speak from experience on this. My father did pretty much the same thing to us many years ago. 25+ years later, its not changed a lot. He has tried to reach out a little, but too much time has passed and too much damage has been done for me to be receptive of this..... Its best for me to move on. He has since remarried and his new wife has a daughter that is in her mid 20's and lives with them and has 2 kids out of wedlock, she doesn't work or go to school, just stays there and parties while they babysit, he takes up for her, I just laugh! Anyway, its been my experience that MLCers just move on, start new lives, and rewrite their past. Best thing for you and your son is to move forward with your lives, make new friends, and forget the past.
