What does it mean when your dad tells you that he never should have married your mother? When he says that he never loved her in the first place, and that he only married her because he felt obligated to do so? Does it mean that he never wanted you or your sisters, either? I wonder, does it mean that you were an obligation as well?
Sometimes I feel so completely inadequate. It’s like my mother, my sisters and I were just my dad’s practice family; we weren’t good enough for him in the long run, but he’d choose to settle for us until a better family came along.
What the heck. Regardless of how old your kid is, or how mature and adult-like they appear to be on the outside, why in the world would you ever tell them that you never loved their mother? Did I really need to know that?
