I would have done the same. You dont owe him anything. The only reason you even had a thought of visiting him, is because you are a good person. In my opinion he is not, and honestly he probably didnt give a damn either way.

He did something to you, that would have bothered me for 20+ years also. you dont forget the wrongs people do to you, I dont care what people say. We can forgive all we want but we still remember. Remembering is what keeps us from making the same mistakes with other people.

Good on you for not showing your respects, because he certianly showed you none. I dont think there was respect to give.

I agree... your 'respects' would have been wasted on him anyway and in the long run, probably would just piss you off that you did go.

Now if you had wronged him, then I could see that you would have a need to go, show your respect and ask for forgiveness.

I have to admit I would not have gone either ... its one thing to contact your friend and offer condolences but quite another to go see someone who is on their death bed when they just flat out wronged you and really didnt seem to have any remorse.

I think that whether you went or not, or had planned on going or not, is one issue, but your grudge is another. To think that after 20 years you would still hold such a resentment, that's pretty rough on you. If he was he kind of man you say he was, he probably got past any guilt he felt within moments, but you made yourself pay the price for twenty years.

Forgiveness is a Choice you have to make. Release yourself from all past hurt and grudges and forgive him. But in the end, it's your choice.
