So here's the story, when i was young me and my dad were really close. I looked up to him in everything. He was always there for me and i knew i could always count on him. but when i about 7 he almost died and he was in the hospital for a while and and i didnt get to see him much. When he did get out he was hooked up to all these machines and he lost all his weight so he was all skin and bones. And it freaked me out and ever since then our relationship is just going down the drain. I dont really like my dad any more but i would like to fix it some how and i have no clue how to.

How many years has your relationship been suffering? Family and friends of people that are sick or have problems have it hard to. No one wants to see loved ones suffer. I take it this Has been many years and you've matured and he has probably improved some? Is he still all hooked up to wired etc? I'm not your dad but he has probably felt horrible this whole time. First he ends up in the hospital and when he needs their love and support he starts to lose his family too. You were only 7. Things seem scarier/freakier. Take things as slow or as fast as you want and also don't rush your father. Just have talks maybe lunch walks if possible.places you can catch up and enjoy each others company. If you feel bad about kind of fading away tell him when you feel comfortable but definitely tell him you care and miss the closeness you had. good luck

Do you have a reason for not liking your father?

Its been 9 years since he was like that but he's still very skinny and sick but no he is not hooked up to machines. And as for a reason for not liking him he just creeps me out now.

How sad Rhiannons father got sick and went really skinny. She loved him more because he was dying and she knew she was losing him

How will you feel if your father dies?

If my fathers dies i'd be sad but i'd get over it. I know that everyone dies and theres not way to escape death. God chooses when its are time to go and i trust him.
