i fell out with my father when my son was born, we have not spoken since, that was 8 years ago,

today i drove to his house and made up with him , its been a long time, was good to see him.

Great to hear, family are important  

[Dazzler]

Good on you mate, hope it stays that way for you both

[waspy]

Hey nice one bod. I fell out with mine, because he just couldn't keep his nose out (so now his nose is permanently out).
Well done though, i hope it stays that way for you  

[Vamps]

Good for you, life is too short to bare grudges.

[Entwood]

Nice one .. takes guts to that ...

Good move... After all you only have 1 dad. I lost mine last year, luckily we sorted our problems out before he died. I would have been devastated if we hadn't.
It often pays to bite your tongue than bear a grudge.

Glad to hear you sorted it. Made me think; my Dad lives only 10 miles from me but don't see him very often as I don't like his partner. Should make the effort to see him more often as at the end of the day it is his choice who he spends his life with.

Nice one. I fell out with my Dad before i left home. It stayed that way then he died. I consider my stepfather my Dad. He did'nt try to rule me when i was young but advised me & was patient. He's made my Mum a happier person for the last 30+ yrs & for both of those things i love & admire him. He's got 3 grown up children of his own but always refers to his 4 children. He's a retired Vet & nearly 80 & Mum's nearly 70. My son's 22 & won't speak to me or his Mother.
    No wonder i stay on my own now.

My father and brother who lived in the same house for years after my brother got divorced, and have not spoken to each other for many years. Just before last christmas, they started to talk to each other to great relief to the other members of the family. My father died 7 weeks ago and my brother through his emotion, stood over my father and said " dad i'm glad we made up". Remember, it's to late when the inevitable happens and life is to short,after all he is your dad and he helped bring you into this world and brought you up.

Both Grandad and Dad can now share the pleasure of having a smashing 8 year old boy to enjoy together!.......well done baconbuttyman

Nice one .. takes guts to that ...  

my thoughts exactly,well done fella

My real Dad ( the dead one) was a good man & meant well. We were well provided for. Well respected in our Sussex village as an ex RAF man, Scout leader, Chairman of various philately clubs but behind closed doors a control freak. At 9 yrs old i was beaten because when i made a bowl of cornflakes i put the empty milk bottle down while i put sugar on. Apparently i should've washed the bottle out first to save putting it down & picking it up again. I was going to do it but i got the whole operation in the wrong order. What hurt more than the beating was Mum screaming at him to stop. This went on for years.
    Never wanted to make my peace. did'nt speak since i left home @ 16. Mum's well out of his way now, has been for 30 yrs & i'd do anything for her, total Mummy's boy & proud of it!
     As for the old man, best forgotten.

I try not to hold a grudge, life's to short. I have my say, then put it behind me.
