My daughter wants to make my life over.  I have lived for years under the control of one person or another.  I think it was a mistake to marry and bring people into the world for the man I married.  I have regrets.

I think the right thing I should have done was ignore the voices which made me feel empty without a relationship of some kind.  I think I should ignore the same voices now.  The relationships I already have are beyond my ability to maintain.  They are not loving and respectful as they should be.  They are only disrespectful ones not worth having.

A respectful and loving relationship with you is the only one I would want.  Since that can never be, I will maintain distance and silence.

If my children don't respect and honor me, they would not respect someone I love. After all, their father did not respect and honor me, nor does he now. He hates me and I return that feeling.

I don't ever want to feel that hatred between myself and another human being again.  Another marriage would be asking for more of the same. I don't want to hear you telling me how much you hate me really. I will keep my distance.
