He never communicates with me unless I initiate it. He forgot my birthday and in a thank you email for the father's day card I sent, just said, "Oh and happy belated birthday." Not even a sorry I missed it.

I sent him a birthday card and he emailed and said thanks and then went on and on braging about his niece and how he flew out to see her soccer game and she got MVP...Then said hope you are well. And that was it. He didn't ask me how I was or what I was doing.

He never flew out to see my plays in college. He never bragged about me. He constantly criticized me and belittled me for having a MI and being on disability.
And I don't like him just as much as he dislikes me.
Should I just let him go? All our communication and lack thereof just hurts me. Is it worth it? Is he worth it?
I'm sorry that your dad is doing this to you. I agree that this is really crappy to do this to you.If this was me, I would leave him alone. This is your call though. If you do decide to talk to him again, I would really make it a point to let him know how you feel.
