Talking with my mother

So I say, Mom, I told dad that I have completely forgiven him
Mom: Oh that is soo wonderful....
Me: and dad expressed remorse for what he did
Mom: I'm so glad...I thought it was something I did

My insane parents who were lost in denial have completely disappeared and been replaced by two people who Acknowledge Dad did Something to me he Shouldn't have.

WTF..who are these honest, remorseful people who can talk about my dads criminal incest even in slightly veiled terms?

Dad met with the priest for confession and sick rites the day before I visited. What dad did to me was probably the worst sins he committed in his entire life.
Making peace.
Dad asked me to visit many, many more times. My brother is working on getting all nine surviving siblings together for a family picture.
The visit the other day at the hospital is just one of many. I may even decide to step into the dreaded house of my childhood, that I have avoided for over twenty years.
Dads pneumonia is still out of control. When that gets better he may be discharged back to that house. There are enough siblings and spouses to help mom care for him.
I am under no obligation to go anywhere or do anything. I visited him because I had to...I wanted to...I needed answers.
I'll visit on my terms.
No one runs my life but me
I'm doing ok
