My career was in agriculture, I was a single father and I made my job my life. At the time I didn’t know any better but that was a huge and hurtful mistake. We don’t get do overs in this life and I regret not knowing that my daughter needed more of my attention. More codling and spending more time with her as she was growing up I’m sure would have made my relationship with her today much closer. I’m now paying for that mistake, she’s 49 yo and won’t have anything to do with me. My ignorance and my irresponsibility as a a father has cost me everything in this life that I love. Now I’m 74 yo and I just wish I had known then what I know now.
I’m sure you explained ,
Perhaps apologized....
Mine disowned me on Father’s day...
.still no particular reasons!?!
They were drunk..
Who knows-——on Them.
Have you been able to tell her those words?
Sorry youmare going through that- we had a similar thing happen in our auto family-
i D9nt know if it would help, but we had an aunt who had a falling out with her children, and her sister, my mom, after many years of the children having nothing to do with her sister, our aunt, called the children try8ng to be a peacemaker, and explained that if their mother should die before they at least made peace with her, it would hurt them the rest of their lives. It took a few discussions, but they eventually agreed, and took the first step to recovering a relationship with her.
She died a few years later, but the few years she had at the end were made much better because my mom took the hard initiative to reach out to,the kids- she didn’t know how,they wouod,take it, whether they would come to hate her too, but fortunately they listened, and were later grateful to her for doing so.
Is there perhaps someone you can have intervein in your behalf that they might listen to to explain how,life is too,short to die with bad feelings towards others?
