How do you deal...?
So, about two years ago, my parents got a divorce. My Dad just up and left us and hasn't spoken to me in during that time. While this has been hard for me, it's been harder to see my nieces' reactions. My two nephews are younger, and don't remember my Dad, their Grandpa. But the girls, my two oldest nieces, do. My niece recently had her tonsils out and she said she wished Grandpa was here because he would always give her chocolate. I have had these comments from the girls several times, and they always catch me off-guard and I never know what to say or how to react. It upsets me that my Dad abandoned these beautiful little babies, his grandkids. How do I deal with their comments, how I respond, I wonder? Any advice, Aunties?
