Hi
He doesn't want to shun me, but I can only think of the hurtful stuff he's said about me to my mother. I don't know what issues and insecurities of his own make him say stuff like "We gave him birth to him, and so we have to suffer". I may have never made him proud, but I know that I have never given him a bad name.
At the moment, I live away from home, I can only imagine the kind of stuff he's said to my mother in my absence.
I love talking to my mom when I'm down, but not my dad. I've never felt close to him. Any advice I give him makes him feel 'threatened', for some reason. 'You think you know more than me?'
