My Dad

[battusphilenor]

So today was the first time I have seen my Father since Ulric was 3 months old. Thats seven months and we live less than fifty miles away from one another. I actually set the meeting up because I wanted to tell him what I thought about is behavior in the recent past. Not for him but for me to get things off my chest. And I guess, to try, once again

Where people supported one another and nurtured eachother to make a stable if not happy but loving family. How can I have that agian?

Slowly.

I think I know what you mean about wanting more from one's father. Recently I did what you just did and confronted my own about why he has rarely been there for me as a Dad. I think it made me feel a bit better just to get things off of my chest, although the subject did make him so sad he cried. I hated that I made him that sad, but at least I felt like he understood where I was coming from. I'm sorry that you did not have a similar experience. Hopefully, he will come around and see how needlessly difficult he is making things for you and your family's relationship with him. After all, the people we love are really the only truly important things in life when it comes down to it.
