I am in my forties. When I was in middle school and high school ,I was not allowed to see my dad much. My mom had full custody. She was a good mom but is a very emotionally fragile person.She and 'her friend' don't like it when I bring it up.

My older brother is very protective of mom and said dad was really mean to him for taking mom's side and tattling on my dad for bringing women to the house while she was out.That he was really emotionally abusive and controlling to my mom. he used to make her beg for the car keys and money and embarrass her in front of her friends. I don't remember any of this.I do remember one really big fight because he was mad she lit up a joint in front of people and wore this really inappropriate dress to a party. Although it does bother me that before they split up he would confide in me about their marriage and stuff about my mom's life that she would die if she knew I knew.

    You are still thinking about all this 20+ years after the fact? Couldn't you have gone to see your dad and figured things out for yourself in all that time?
    Don't you think it's about time to resolve this stuff and move on with YOUR life?
    Talk about baggage, much.
