Just wanted to tell someone, anyone.
Should end this posting here but will add that since mum passed away it has been like this. My dad makes me feel empty, I just have the unhappy feeling that overtakes me after speaking to him. It is like he does not care, he says he does but all his actions show he really is a very distant father.
Too much to tell. A lot has happened over the years which has put a tremendous strain on our relationship - definately his doing. I am not the only one who feels this way but we all live a long way from each other. It's just this distant and formal way he has of talking to you. Whether I phone or he phones it is alway brief which is just as well really.
I can talk to dh but have to wait until the children are in bed as I don't want to upset them. It has been this way for years now. I made huge efforts to make it different in the early years. While I can talk to dh about it how many times do you want to spoil the evening yet again by going over the same thing. Also dh is a man so does not seem to see just how badly the contact affects me.
Thank you for "listening".
