[QUOTE="Super Kami Guru, post: 20236, member: 22"] What pisses me off about him and his health is that I'm a diabetic (type 1, so different, but I know how the game works...), I could have given him pointers on managing it without having to radically alter his lifestyle. He would've had to have given up the drink, for sure, but...it wouldn't have been THAT difficult to adapt. He didn't want to know, didn't want to make the effort and here we are. I know I can't change it, and I know the thought process very, very well, but it just boggles my mind he could do that knowing his kids were desperate to form a relationship with their father. Just wrong... At any rate, yeah, I'm trying to get past it and move on, that's a big part of why I posted that. At least getting it out there helps me start that process, just comprehending something that I'll never truly understand gets me a bit angry. I'm sorry to hear that, both because I'm sure his family would have been happier having him around, even with medical bills attached, and because I'm sure it hurt those that loved him to lose him. It's a possibility with my brother that it was a similar situation, though I doubt it. We have the NHS at home, universal healthcare, he just had to make an effort, and he didn't. I think his kids making the efforts they did to form a relationship with him might have stirred something in him about how he treated them, but I honestly have no genuine proof of that, and nor will we ever know for sure now.
