Comment on So you grew up with a dad who didn’t know how to express love? Here’s how it could be affecting you today (part 2) by Kirt.
I had an affair due to being unhappy in my marriage of 22 years. I have a 19 year old son and 16 year old daughter. My son and I seem to be ok in our relationship the best I can tell. He and I talk he lives with me and I encourage him to spend time with his mother. My daughter however moved in with her mother and our relationship which use tone good and close is distant. She hates me for the affair, destroying the family and doesn’t spend much time with me other than when she wants money or something. I have moved the woman in with me that I had the affair with because she is what I have been looming for in a relationship for quite some time and financially it helps both of us. My daughter won’t come over because she can’t stand her and my son tells me my daughter blames me, hates me and will never forgive me. I have to find a way to mend this relationship with my daughter, I love her and miss her and its tearing me up that I can’t get past this. U know its only been a year since the divorce but I’m trying to seek direction on what to do. It seems as though sometimes she is willing to try but then when it gets down to the time we have scheduled something she will back out. I would appreciate any direction on how I start to mend this relationship.
thanks
