Janet,

A beautiful article. Thank you.

Although my father was there, I was not close to him. This was something I was determined, as much as I could control, would not happen with my girls and their father. I am happy to say my girls enjoy a loving, supportive relationship with their dad.

I love your suggestions for understanding and I learned long ago to look at my dad's history. This helped me over the years.

Yes, you have accomplished your goal and the cycle has been broken. It is clear to see that they are blessed to have a beautiful relationship with both you and Don. Family is everything.
