dear Mair,

dads...aarrrgggh! i think the roles reverse as people age, like the child crying for candy, throwing the parent into a whirl of frustration...and later on it's the parent crying for attention, spinning the adult child down a vortex of guilt.

i don't think it matters that you don't have stories of abuse to tell. that's a different issue. just because he didn't hit you or call you names, it *sounds* to me like he did something that obviously makes you hesitant to maintain contact.

a friend told me a couple of years ago to treat everyone with compassion and equanimity...i had to look that second one up in the dictionary...he told me this after i'd accidentally hurt a few people...anyway, i've been meditating on that one for about 2 years now. i think he got it from some Buddhist reading he'd been doing.

can you make your telephone calls in private, where your kids can't hear?

anyway--i hope you can feel grateful in some small way that he cares about your kids. seems like it's a sign that he cares about you...
