Sparkls, I am sorry about your dad's choices, you must have felt abandoned by him. I had a similar experience. After my dad's D he found someone I got along well with. Then they broke up and he started with the current one, I refer to her as his 'pet elephant.' She never liked me and I never liked her. My dad who coached me all the way up through came and helped me coach for a year and then due to her constant b!tching stopped. We do not really talk now despite living about 2 miles away from each other.

I don't think that he did not care that he did that to you. It was too deliberate to say he did not think about it. More that he was trying to get at you IMO.

But I can also sympathize about giving up. I feel that way a lot recently. People have also talked about setting me up on dates and I have thought about it with interest. However, I just don't think I am ready for that yet. I get angry and say I am throwing in the towel and then the next day or hour or minute, I am utterly in love with her again and who kiss her feet clean if she asked. So is my rollercoaster.
