So... Earlier I posted on Facebook something about how I am proud of my dad for serving in the army for 20 years, for Veteran's day. 23 minutes later, he posted on his Facebook a piece of art I did in 12th grade, saying "Christie drew this with colored pencils." It doesn't necessarily outright say, "Wow Christie is a fantastic artist!" but I'm going to pretend that's what he meant. And I am going to just assume he did it because I mentioned him on Facebook, and that he wanted to communicate back. I think it's the most we have communicated at all in over two years.

That's wonderful Kris!
 I think that was HIS way of saying he loves you. He may not be able to come right out and say it, but I'm sure that's what he meant. In fact, I'm positive.  I hope that gives you a warm feeling inside, sweetie. You took the first step, but he answered you. In his own way he said "Kris, I love you."

Usually when I have sent him a card or an email he doesn't respond. Then my mom would say oh he liked the card. But I never got direct replies from him, and that hurt. He never signed birthday cards to me, my mom would. It still hurts that he doesn't reach out to me but I guess what happened on Facebook was better than nothing!

that they still had something you did in 12th grade is notable, not all parents do, believe me.

Sounds like he thinks of you more than you know. I am sure you are loved!

Well the reason he still had the art project was because it was on the wall in my old bedroom.

And I'm not sold on the whole thing about him truly loving me, yet, since I don't believe he has the capacity for it. But at least he thought of me in a positive way rather than a negative way like he usually does.

Some people can't love, I guess--but men I think do usually have the ability to have pride in their children.
I think he's proud of what you could do at age 12, and wanted to boast about it. There's something nice about that ... kind of a major thing for him to do where so many and you would see it?

There is one other nice thing he did for me when i was in the hospital a few years ago, he took a paper mache picture frame i made the previous time i was hospitalized (in art therapy time at the psych ward), it had the words Buddy and Abby written on it, cause those are my dogs, and he put a picture of my dogs and my cat too inside the picture frame and brought it to me at the hospital. that was like 3 years ago. I never want to get rid of the picture frame cause it is that important to me
