robaday Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Is coming to visit me next week (I live on the other side of the world to him......for good reason!). Narcissistic, alcoholic, powerful and controlling are probably the words I would describe him as! Relationships been fraught for years - he wasnt around when I grew up apart from sporadically coming home to treat my mother like a maid/slave (he worked abroad). Then la piece de resistance, after 26 years of him being a bit part in my life, I find he has another daughter (another sister) on the other side of the world, which explains his neglect and absenteeism. Hes staying for a week, and to be honest me and my sister are both nervous and unsure of what on earth to do with him! How can I make this a worthwhile week? One where I can live in the present and make it a fulfilling potentially relationship building experience instead of a pulling my hair out negative? I have to get over my own resentment from the past and face it head on? Link to post Share on other sites
