My dad, who has been divorced from my mom since I was 13, I am now 43. Mom has begun to be very understanding and supportive of me and my dealing with my diagnosis, Dad on the other hand is one of the people who is like, if I don't acknowledge it, don't even say anything about it it doesn't excist. He picked me up when my car broke down on Monday and took me home. His rule is that if I need to talk to him, I am to email him first and wait on him to call me. Well, since my car has been out of commmission I wrote him an email and asked if he could take me to get some blood work done. Well, no answer, no email, no call, no acknowledgement of the question at all.

:huh:

hno: My Mom took me today and ran me around other places and to visit my grandma, then we went out to eat.

But still not an email from my dad. :sad: When I had to take my dog back all he wanted to know was how much money I lost, I didn't tell him because all he would do would be to tell me how stupid I am.

The weird thing is that my dad to anyone else is a very personable, funny interesting person, but to us, his kids he is distant and remote, even though he lives just about six minutes away from me. I have alternately carried the whole relationship myself, and refused to see him neither seem to make any difference to him. He's silent either way. My sister pretty much has a see him sometimes when it suits her and her family, my brother sees him for the money at Christmas (he's 45, with a doctorate degree and lives at home with my mom no job) and I just resumed seeing him at Christmas, which is usually the ONLY time I see him all year. I guess what I am saying, what I am wishing is that he would be more supportive and understanding. Thanks for letting me babble on, Karly:wink2:
