*father! *dad! So Sorry you're dealing with this! Please do not give up! i agree with the wise and wonderful Bill3 about sending you sad hugs. It does seem like things are pretty difficult with your Family, based on what you wrote. It does seem like your dad may be ore willing to listen so perhaps you can start from there? i am not sure. Is there anyone else whom can support you on this? Perhaps other relatives as Well. i Hope things will improve soon for everyone. i think it can be hard to rebuild a relationship with your parents given how much time has passed but i don't think it is impossible. i do think it depends on them too though as Well. i'd suggest to try to start reconciling with your dad. Sorry if this post wasn't really Helpful. i am here if you need Support and Hopefully many others. Sending many Safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @Scarlet Alexis, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
