- It sounds like you are upset that he is acting this way because you
- were maybe hoping that he would be happy about it instead, finally
- "coming around" and showing you that he does, in fact, care about you.
- Maybe the fact that he isn't happy about it makes you feel
- (understandably) even more hurt that he has been acting the way he does.
- Maybe it makes you wonder if he even cares(?)
-
- Your father probably loves you very much, but is -unable- to express
- it, and has some big problems of his own. Maybe you can talk to him,
- and try to come to an understanding between the two of you as far as
- what you are both feeling towards each other. If that doesn't work,
- you can at least just try to chalk it up that he does care about you,
- but for some reason -beyond your control-, he is unable to show you
- that. It's -sad-, but possible that that is the case.
-
- I'm really sorry that you are going through it. 8-( I have learned
- that, even though someone cares about you, they might be unable
- to express it in a very good way.
