Yes, I have. Its a long and miserable story and his death caused me something of a crisis. In the end I sought professional help. I will not go into details here but the excellent counselling I had allowed me to close the chapter and move on.
Children are hard wired to love their parents and it takes a lot for the parent to destroy that bond. However the guilt a child carries for feeling they cannot trust or love their parent is very hard to bear. I am happy to reply to a PM should you have any questions.
