I’m sorry Janice and I empathize with you. My dad was absent in my life by his choosing, although as a child thought it was my fault. I also went through counseling and was finally able to understand and accept that he was the flawed one, not me. I’m glad you had such a good relationship with your father-in-law. My Mom was wonderful and still is at 94. So I feel blessed for having her.
