I think if my dad had put forth a little bit of effort to LEARN instead of ASSUMING everything, things would be better.
Raykat - Ive never had a decent relationship with my dad. I honestly believe that he wanted 2 sons. Well what he got was a son and tomboyish daughter. I dont think Ive ever met his expectations of what I should have been. After he made that final comment - Ive completely shut him out for good. I say as little as I can get by with. I dont acknowledge him when he's in the room.
I have a friend staying over with me tonight as she cant get home due to the floods, and she asked me if my dad and I had a fight - I said no he just treats me that way. Then she gave me a shocked look. I said I dont give a rats ass anyway, why should I?
Sometimes I envy those who can have a relationship with their dads, but its probably better this way anyway.
