the night before I'm set to move back home, my dad gave me a speech about why he thought I was moving. In the process his tone was very accusing when he mentioned that there are always two sides to every story and that I only know what Mom has told me. Then says he doesn't want us to have the relationship my Mom and her Dad have, which is to say they don't have one.
My secret is: I kind of want that type of relationship with him
I hear you. My "dad" (yes, he's biologically my father but I'm not claiming him anymore) is an a$$hole and I refuse to have any kind of relationship with him anymore. Doesn't help that a week ago he called and basically told me that I was a bad daughter, fat, lazy and not doing anything with my life. Heh, and he wonders why I hate him?
yeah, exactly. It doesn't help that he calls me non stop. like every minute until he either reaches 5 totals calls & finally leaves a message or he has to go back to work >.< And my parents think I need to tell him how I feel about him, but how would does someone go about doing that? "Oh btw Dad, I hate your guts & I wish you would just disappear & leave me alone." Yeah that'll go well.
My father....lives about 10 mins away and has never ever been a part of my life. because he chooses not to. which i'm glad because he's an asshole piece of shit, but to have a father that attempted to be in my life would be kinda nice.
that is a fair point. however, my father didn't try to be "in" my life until i was 18, then stopped & then "tried" agian about a year ago. since i've been back, he's hardly had any contact with me.
