to fill in history-
me and my dad have always been very close (daddys girl here) special days out etc, and even closer when mum got suddenly ill in 2006 and passed away very quickly. After this we took dad on hols with us and basically rallied round to support him.
BUT very soon after mums death (3 months) he started seeing someone else which upset me greatly due to his teenage behaviour etc. Since then we have had ups and downs (mainly downs) as I don't get on great with new lady although I think I have made a big effort recently, invited her over for sunday lunch, met up with them, as my dad seems to do EVERYTHING with her.
DD was born in April this year- in Feb my dad moved 130 miles away which again upset me. Since DD has been here he has seen her aprox 6 times. When we meet up he doesn't ever want to hold her, cuddle her.He has stopped calling me ever, occasionally emails random pics of places he is visiting, never asks how she is. He does turn up with big pressies for her (bought her travel system etc) but simply does not seem interested?
am I expecting too much?
