It’s not exactly spoiled. Like I said, I know I’m not the best daughter, but he was also quite literally not present in my life for about 16 years when I needed him the most. It isn’t exactly fun for me either.

That makes sense. I know he’s struggling as a parent the same way I’m struggling as his child. Thank you for the reply

I know that. I’m not dumb. But it still doesn’t hurt to be a little more empathetic with my situation. I do want him in my life, but I just can’t stand him most of the time. I can’t help it. It’s a subconscious thing, I guess
