No, I don't attend his church. I'm not sure I could even attend as a guest at this point. Thanks for your words.

Thanks for your words. I have talked to my dad three times about this. Each time it gets worse in blaming my mother for not being attentive enough to him. And this woman is his true happiness. The finger is always pointed elsewhere. He knows the things this woman has said to us kids. I've sent...

No, the church does not know the truth. He says he's repented in his own ways, which is totally upto him. I'm not trying to control that. But I just don't see it. Especially when he allows this woman to be nasty toward his own kids.

Like I said, you don't have all the details of this situation and it goes sooooooooooo much deeper than I've shared. But if you must know... - my dad used visiting me (in ohio, him in Missouri) to visit his mistress (also in ohio) telling everyone he was visiting my family but he'd stay for 12...

Thank you for the book recommendation. I'll look into it. It's been hard to sit back and let things be!

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I lost my mom a year ago to the same thing. While I can't tell you much about hospice, I will say to meet with them and get it going asap. I wish we would have sooner. They provided allthe medical equipment and morphine. They were there as little or as...

I grew up in a Christian family. My dad was and is a preacher. My mom died a year ago from cancer complications and just short of 35 years with my dad. Right after her death, however, my dad announced he was seeing someone else and it was serious. Come to find out, it was a woman he'd been...
