Jackie...I am sorry to hear that your dad passed.
Am I understanding correctly that the similarities between him and your son are what keeps you somewhat distant from your son?
At the end of the day, we have to be true to ourselves...listen to what our heart tells us in regard to these reunion relationships. they require a lot of work, and as Jackie has said in other posts, we have to be willing to our own work and pay attention. It's a committment in any relationship to help make sure it works, if we so desire. If we know that we aren't willing or able to give to it, it is best to be honest. It's probably OK to keep the door open somewhat, in case one finds that they are more ready, more willing and able. Things change, we change, too.
