Agreed with Seattledad. You and yours are far better without him.

Wonderful post, though. Very emotional.

That’s powerful stuff and I am quite certain it is deserved. My heart breaks for you and for Zoe and her siblings. The hurt, it just never ends, does it?

People like that should definitely be kept out of your children’s lives. No matter what the connection they have to them.

Powerful stuff. I assume you’re talking about either your stepdad or your father-in-law.

My own dad wasn’t quite so vile. He was out of the picture too. All those things you mentioned… throwing a ball around, sharing a soda, teaching me to shave. My dad did none of those things, even though he lived just a few miles away with his new family. Over the years I’ve learned to simply not care. Heck, we were just down in Southern California for nine days, not 30 minutes from where my dad still lives, and it didn’t even enter my head to give him a call to visit with the grandchildren he has never seen. Actually, I’m not sure he would’ve met us if I’d invited him.

Anyway, your kids are lucky that they have you. That’s all that matters.
