I agree completely with what Ruthie said - I spent nearly 2 years

not speaking to my Dad. We then sort of made up when i got

engaged only to fall out again over wedding plans. We made up

before the wedding and now despite some blips we are great

friends. I have realised that he just isn't a conventional 'Dad' type

and that he is better talking to on a 'friends' basis. My parents

divorce was one of those sudden 'no warning' numbers as i

hadn't been exposed to any of the arguments etc - so it took a

long time to get over it..and it somehow it all seems to be better -

but this has taken 20 years to get this far. Just to say not to give

up hope.
