The first lady was very gracious to her elder father. What he said when she was leaving, that he had shut the door on his past and she was part of that... I imagine those words haunted that poor girl for years. But he was granted a very special gift of being forgiven even though he couldn't lose his pride enough to say he's sorry all through the years. I hope she gets the welcome she's due!

I knew a man who died alone although having four children. He, too, liked to say that his door was open and that they knew where to find him if they needed him. That's not how it works. YOU reach out. Everything else is just cheap talk.

His teenage daughter is leaving with her mom as the result of a divorce and what he says to her is, “Don’t forget I’m here.” Wow, he put the whole thing in her lap. Their divorce had nothing to do with her; imagine how she must have felt with her home life shattering and going to a completely foreign country and culture, to boot.

Either way is shameful. To not see your father because you’re too proud to reach out, is just sad. Same for the dad not reaching out. They are both losers in this situation. I’d give everything I own to hold my Grandparents one more time. (They raised me.) Same for my bio parents…if they’d like that too.😢 If the parents/kids are still alive it’s a relationship worth investing in.

What a beautiful program this is, this is such healing work. I felt sad about the Dutch guy; abandoned by his parents in the war, then he abandons his own child. Life has its way of going full circle; and though that didn't end happily, at least he got to see his sister again; extraordinary that they had not met that they had not met for 70 years. His stubbornness cost him dearly.

I contacted my father as an adult, married with children. The first call he cried and cried. We flew him out to visit us- I was so nervous! We connected on many levels but I wanted to understand why? Why did you leave me? I was in an orphanage and foster home, then at eight my mother literally kidnapped me. She was mentally ill and addicted to pills. It was quite bad. I left home when I was just 14 years old. I am so very glad I contacted him- over the years I began to understand him as a person. He had a very tough life, he grew up on the streets of Brooklyn, served in merchant marines when he was 15! Was drafted into Korea. He had no one. Very sad. He didn’t know my mother was mentally ill, she was only 15 when she feigned pregnancy and they married. She was a Russian immigrant and her mother died when my mom was only ten. She lived in an orphanage. They were very poor, he shoveled coal and did odd jobs. It was a disaster of a marriage! When I understood that everyone has a story and we all have regrets. I forgave both of them. I’m so thankful I got to really know them before they died. My sons have wonderful memories of their Grandfather! ❤

In all three segments, the kids were amazingly like their long lost fathers. In the first segment, it was really sad that the father somehow triggered the daughter. The two seemed so alike in temperament. OTOH, that might have been what did it. The second story was such a contrast. Here you had a father and daughter who were also very alike, but the circumstances and the personalities were very different. He hadn't known she existed, yet he immediately took responsibility and welcomed her into the rest of the family. That Hakka welcome was amazing! I've been loving all the Maori culture that comes up in this show, and this segment was full of it. In contrast to the first segment, in the third one, the similarities between the father and son helped them bond.

Carolina needs therapy. She was a teenager when her parents divorced and that made a huge impact on her life. She still has resentments and resistance and is still angry. Perhaps that’s why she has no children or husband. Parents should understand what harm they can cause when they choose to do the things they does especially when children are involved

@fionamelgaard - Absolutely! It is NOT a child's place to right the wrongs of her/his parents. It is NOT a child's place to be involved in any of the drama or dregs of a divorce. Of course, they are collateral damage, but they do not need to know sordid details, and they absolutely DO NOT deserve to have their parents involved in a fight to destroy each other. Don't parents "get it"? Their child loves both of them. Why all this horrible attempt by each parent to disparage the other parent in front of the child? Moving half-way around the world to distance the child from one parent is so counterproductive to that child having any kind of relationship with the non-custodial parent, that it's time for courts to rethink how child custody decisions should be made.

There's no timetable when they'll be ready to see their past in person. One person may be "there" and another it'll take years. There are so many reasons why, with time, but they just aren't ready. Many times, rejecting responsibility at a young age can be very prideful to admit. But, once the heart opens, it can be beautiful through forgiveness.

The first story reminds me of my dad's relatives. My father and his dad reconnected after nearly 30 years, and it went good for a while and then they drifted apart. I can't help but relate to the daughter. My dad is now in prison. I haven't seen him for nearly 15 years, and at times I want to know that he loved me and he's proud of me. Yet my dad was also abusive and manipulative so it's best to leave that door closed. Sad that stories like that end that way but sometimes it does.

First story, he blew it as a dad. Imo. I don’t know if I’d want to meet a father who abandoned me like that 40 odd years later. Perhaps for curiosity if nothing else. But possibly not. It could possibly be too painful. It was up to the father to continue to bond with his child, not up to her to continue the relationship with him.

None of us is perfect. At the end he swallowed his pride, apologized, and begged to see her again. His own father disappeared from his life, he just met a sister he hadn't seen for 74 years. He obviously wasn't raised with a sense of what "family" means. If i were his daughter, I'd stop being stubborn and cut him some slack; he won't be around much longer.

It seems to me that whatever happened with father and daughter affected their lives deeply. From the information provided the father didn't have any more children, the daughter didn't have any of her own. The patents' didn't just get divorced, the mother and daughter moved to a different country, parents are not perfect but we don't know the dynamic between ex spouses, which tends to affect the children as well.......The relationship seems to be needing a lot of healing on both sides, hopefully they can find forgiveness and move forward with love and peace.❤️

Omg that dutch mans personality and attitude is almost identical to my dads. We've been estranged for over 25 years. He did the same thing. My sister has to twist herself into a pretzel just to get to visit or a visit from him. She said he sometimes asks about me. Although i can never imagine him EVER saying he did anything wrong.

Having seen a few of your videos now, I am reminded of the famous quote by Shakespeare: "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their entrances and their exits; And one man in his time plays many parts...." What is not resolved in this incarnation will have to be resolved next time around, long after we have all "gone back to the ranch" (as my American friend says). What a pity Kees' daughter could not understand that her father probably has dementia and is most likely playing his very last part.

My dad always said that most of being a father was just showing up. Being there. Interesting the old man that was the first father featured did the opposite and expected to still have a father daughter relationship after his long time choice to be absent in her life. I'm thinking my dad may have a good point. This man could have reached out when she was 18 at least. Whatever age dutch people start living on their own would have been a decent enough time to reach out. Somewhere between 18 and 25 maybe? That period of time when a child grows into adulthood and begins thinking for themselves.

Sounds like the old guy’s desire to reconnect with his daughter was for the purpose of her taking care of him. If he’s bothering her and his sister so much that they’ve told him to leave them alone, it sounds like he also just up and stayed in Holland.

The person who said parents think their children to see them first. I dont understand how your brain works. But it does think the same as mine. As i see it, you were born to your parents. They raised, fed you, cloth you. Educate you. Then you grow up and make a life for yourself. But you dont ever forget who.raise you. No matter what the circumstances are with the parent. They didnt turn their back on you. Children as adult is their turn to be incontact and visit their parents. To so their respect to them for what they did for us. But without them we wouldnt be here. To give them the love and support they gave us. Thats what family is. There. Is a thing call forgive or forget. People now a day hasnt the intelligent to do thst. As they think that the world owes them. Isay one day their children are going to do.the same to them. Then they will know what it feels like to be sick and lonely.but thank fully his daughter is going to.see him. Which is wonderful. I want to also.that you only have one set of of parents. So what difference you have, make amends before its to late. Love of your family is most imprtant part of life that you will ever have.
