It's not necessarily a mistake for a father to beseech his child, especially one he loves unconditionally, in an attempt to mend their strained relationship. Many parents with challenging family dynamics can relate to this situation.
While Thomas's televised appeals may evoke sympathy from some, it appears to be a futile endeavor. Meghan, as a narcissist, is unlikely to respond positively to such appeals. In fact, his efforts seem to only add to his misery, making them seemingly pointless. This isn't the first time he has made such pleas on camera, and Meghan has consistently chosen to ignore them.
It seems Thomas hopes that, by appearing on TV, Meghan will have no choice but to hear his plea and consider reconciliation. He may believe that eventually, she will grant him his dying wish, providing him with closure and a sense of peace. However, it's crucial to recognize that Meghan has changed significantly since their last meaningful interaction, making a reunion highly improbable.
Meghan's current persona is a far cry from the daughter Thomas once knew or claims to know. Her behavior reflects a lack of compassion, empathy, and sincerity – typical characteristics of narcissism. Meghan's memory is unreliable, as she often contradicts her past statements and lives in a constantly changing fantasy world.
As a narcissist, Meghan cannot experience genuine emotions like love and compassion. Instead, she thrives on manipulation, control, and the exploitation of others. Her father's relentless pursuit of reconciliation only intensifies her sense of power and sadistic pleasure.
Thomas Markle should focus on enjoying the time he has left and cherishing the relationships he still has. Hoping for reconciliation with Meghan, who has drastically changed, is likely to lead to further suffering. Meghan's inability to feel genuine empathy or compassion makes any genuine reunion with her nearly impossible.
