Why Bother?

You might be asking yourself: why bother? Why try to make our relationship better at this point in our lives? Why try to rebuild a relationship that hasn’t had much going for it for such a long time? What’s in it for either of us?  Instead of trying to answer in my own words, I'll let these daughters and fathers speak for themselves.  As you read their comments, keep in mind that most of these dads and daughters had very strained relationships or distant relationships before they started following the advice in my books. Almost all of them initially were asking:  Why bother?
