A question

Deleted User
Does being a good (step) dad,granddad, and great granddad(in their eyes) make up for being an abject failure in so many other ways such things are usually defined? Some people get over childhood & teenage bullying and achieve great things. I lacked the inner strength to do so
A situation not helped,no doubt, by far too may years of poor recognition of needs and things I struggle with. But others do well despite that. I can't genuinely say I feel depressed,beyond a dip in mood that's probably SAD. What I can say is that I feel useless and worthless a lot of the time.

  • I am coming to terms with similar things. 5 years I missed with dad. Many years I missed of my 3 boys. Time fixes a LOT and the best thing you can do is try. If you genuinely try to do better and you try to learn from the past and not dwell on it, the good parts that come around get her faster, more frequently and are a lot better!!

    In your case I would guess if you worked on a way to stop dwelling you and their lives would greatly improve..
