In reply to Parents Death - unusual reaction?, posted by LostGirl on December 4, 2003, at 12:53:04
My father was not present in my life very often, and when he was it was usually a negative experience. He died when I was 22; the muted grief I have felt has mostly been over the fact that I never knew him well enough to mourn him. I mainly mourn the fact that I didn't have a loving relationship to miss. I think what you describe is very understandable.
