I agree with bebop! Call your dad!!
Life is too short to stand in the shadows Airway. Sometimes in order to be with the ones we love, we have to put up with those that make our lives difficult too. I know it's not easy.....boy do I know it. But I sure don't want you to have any regrets when the time comes. That would make the situation so much more difficult don't you think?
Maybe you can call dad and have him meet you somewhere for lunch or dinner, just the 2 of you. Call it your special "father/daughter" time! I'll bet he would love it and that way you could have him all to yourself for a few hours
Hugssss
