Meeting my Paternal Father after 39 years.

Hate to say it, but it came off exactly as I thought it would. He tried to bring up all the dirty laundry from the past. I interjected the Lord into the conversation as much as I could. The Lord gave me grace not to do or say anything that I shouldn't have.
 
Wow, not sure why he did that. He obviously was more interested in making excuses for his bad behavior than in getting to know his son. That's kinda pathetic. It may be the reason your mom made the deal she did, ya know?
 
I am glad the Lord gave you grace to respond correctly in such a difficult situation.  I hope you find comfort in the thought that your Heavenly Father will NEVER forsake you nor ever let you down.  "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up."  Ps. 27:10
 
You did what was right always keep the door open you never know until he's gone.... God bless you
 
Sorry.  I was really hoping things might have changed after all these years.  Maybe he still harbors the bitterness of what he did.  Are you going to try to continue to see him?

Not sure that I want to but I will not dismiss it.
I'm praying for the Lord's will to be done.
