Later in the day I spoke with my Dad about coming over and getting some photos (my counselor wants to see some photos from my childhood). At first he was "Sure come on over" only to call me back later to tell me that he needed several days to get all the photos together. When he started dating my stepmother, Dad put away just about everything having to do with us . There is not a single photo anywhere on display in his house of my side of the family; not even his 9 grandkids. Plenty of my stepmother's but none of Dad's.

My dad did the exact samething when he started dating and then married my step mother. He doesn't have anything to do with his 3 kids and grandkidsd although he spends alot of time with my step brother. I haven't heard (letter, phone or anything) from my dad in over 10 years. I used to try to initate coversation with him but he was never interested so I stopped. I'm not sure if this is my dad's doing or my step mother telling him that he can't have anything to do with his kids and grandkids
