Why am I 31 and crying my eyes out at my dad’s absence?
He chose to stop speaking to me the past few years and I hoped that he would call. I now can’t watch any video to do with Dads or happiness in general without feeling sad. He’s done a lot of bad things to our family. He cheated on my mum and left us for another woman and family. But he was always mine when I was younger and I still can’t get over it. It affects my daily life when I’m on my own. I’m sad. Has anyone had anything else like this? Be good to hear from you guys. I feel very lonely. Xx

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling 😥 it sounds like you are grieving the relationship you wanted with him and no one can blame you for that. Have you had any counselling? My Mum was abandoned by her Dad and I always thought she could have benefitted from some counselling too. Sending you lots of hugs 💚
