People are not all "black and white" in thoughts or actions - would make the world too simple if they were *sigh*

I understand what you are telling me. I do recognize that people aren't all black and white.
Perhaps understanding my point of view from my own perspective would give more clarity. My own father can be rather obtuse and it's frustrating in too many ways to get into on this thread. I wind up frustrated from not feeling heard, understood, etc with him. Except I'm not the only one that has had this experience with him.
Of course her father could have health issues. This could be unlike him or it could replay a repeated pattern with him.
I've conversed through the years with OE, on top of everything. In ending my reply to her I did ask if there was an ideal response from him. Which is important for a variety of reasons which I am not going to get into.
