Do you know if your father has depression, bipolar, or some other mental/emotional condition? Is he an alcoholic or drug abuser?
My point: it's not you. Your father has some sort of issue that is outside of you, and that issue is affecting how he relates to you.
I know it's very hard not to take it personally (I have similar issues with my father), but somewhere, deep inside yourself, I hope you will realize that you're not at fault in any way. And that you'll be able to forgive your father for disappointing you. |
