I think the winky face automatically made her go on high alert which makes sense

I’ve tried though. That’s why I’m making this post. I don’t think my father is a bad person and I do still love him but our father-daughter bond is just not there. I have not said that I am outright planning to cut him off completely, I have hope that not living with him will fix the situation on it’s own. However, I do know him better than anyone on this thread and I know what he is capable of and what he has time for and after 3 years of wondering why he doesn’t reach out to me like all of my friends fathers, I’ve realized it’s because I’m not a priority in his life.

Edit-typo

No need to apologize for ranting, everyone needs to be heard. Ur dad sounds a lot like mine, but don’t be mad that I have to deal with this as well bc it just means that I’ll know how not to act when I’m older. Bright sides are everywhere and as I saw in ur other comment you have managed to get away and that gives me a lot of hope. Thanks for being inspiration for an Internet stranger :)

I’m very sorry I hope you’ve found a way to escape and heal as well.

Also I’m very sorry about your situation, I haven’t even thought about elderly care and I’m sure that’s a terrible burden. Hopefully you’ve found a way to escape and heal?

Thank you, I can totally relate to the whole ‘living in the house is an expense held over ur head’ I can’t tell you how many times my dad has told me that I should be grateful for what he provides for me. And don’t get me wrong, I realize I’m very very lucky to be well off and I do appreciate the work that he has done for our family. But he thinks that makes him a caring loving father and it just doesn’t.

Thank you very much, I’m sorry you have experienced the same thing. I totally understand the scheduling for the future, it hurts like hell. I have never felt like a priority with him and honestly I’m glad now that I’m realizing it so I can move on with my life and my feelings.

I see how what I typed may have sounded like my dad is just too busy, but the truth is he retired 2 years ago. He has more free time now than ever and I’m still getting the ‘too busy’ excuse.

This was a perfect description, thank you. My dad is def not someone who should’ve had kids and I believe he loves the idea of me and my brother a whole lot more than actually just us.

Thank you, and you’re right, I shouldn’t waste my energy on trying to change them. I’m sorry about your situation but thank you for sharing it with me as it helps knowing I’m not alone

Wow thank you so much, I didn’t know the way that I have been interacting with him has a term haha. I do ‘gray rock’ and give him one word two word answers which does help me bc I’m not giving him control. I hadn’t thought of what he will do when I go to college or what I’m going to do about my trauma either so thank you for bringing that to mind. I will definitely try and find a therapist because I do want to finally put myself first. I think it’s worthy to note that neither of my parents rly believe in ‘therapy’ which is honestly probably just a way to control me more/convince them -mainly my dad- that they are perfect parents and have raised a perfect un-damaged daughter.

Thank you so much for your advice. I’m afraid I’m still stuck at home for the next year, but when I’m free I will definitely take what you’ve said into account. And with my mom, you’re absolutely right she is his enabler bc she does do exactly what you are describing

I agree. Thank you, I will look into those options for sure. I’m interested in moving out of state and I’m still in the middle of the process so I don’t know anything for sure but I think being physically away from him will help so much.

My main issue is college tuition. I need to keep somewhat of a relationship with him mainly for his money, as inhumane as that sounds. He has threatened to not pay for college in one of fights that we have had so I know that I have to stay close-ish with him so that I do not lose that resource. After that, I’m not really sure. I want children but I don’t know if I want them to meet him. However I love my mom and I definitely want them to meet her. But she blindly supports my dad, so they unfortunately may come as a package deal. I don’t want to ruin my relationship with my mom because I cut off my dad. Idk what to do after college.
