Im asking because my dad always told us as kids that he loved my mother more than us. I grew up with resentment towards this outlook he had until i got older and wiser and understood his point of view. It did not mean he loved us any less, it didnt mean he was going to drastically choose between us and pick her. He simply meant my mom is his life, his soul mate and his everything. They share their lives together and raising us is part of that. 18 years later were gone and they have eachother for the rest of their days. Kids leave you and live a life of their own. Do you think this is normal? I believe it is simply beautiful, it is real, true love, but he should never have told his children. Whats your take on this?
