Thanks so much for your insight and support.
 It aided my healing. Too much of my heart
was in this post to let it remain here for posterity on the web.
The post served its purpose and now it is time to
edit it or gently take it down.

I say, stomp that doubt in your life. It feels good. 8)

Wow flower, you go girl.  I can see that you have done alot of thinking even since you posted your first note about when your dad came to visit you.  Good for you.  I too struggle with the "right" decision about what to do about the N's in our lives.  If you feel at peace and like the decision is right for YOU I say go for it.  They have all proven that they will NEVER watch out for us.  It's the very smallest gift we can give to ourselves.  

Lots of proud hugs,
Michelle

What you said above got me to thinking. Wow, what would it be like to have a parent really look out for me? What would it be like to have a parent who wanted me to grow into an adult and backed up and validated the person I was becoming -- A parent who supported me as a living, breathing individual. I feel that I wouldn't have experienced so much doubt if I had had a parent that strived to give that kind of support.

Michelle:
Yeah.  Food for the mind, huh.  Unfortunately, we will never know that feeling because our parents are incapable of that - those days are gone.  I guess now it's our job to pick up the pieces, and put them together as much as we can.  I think for me anyway a few pieces will always be missing.  But I can try to learn to take care of myself and nurture myself the way a good parent would have.  It's hard, but I am beginning to think that I am worth it!   :oops:

flower,

Good riddance to both dysfunctional parents. They're crazy and destructive. Good for you.
