My Dad, he was by no means the world's worst, he just never was able to connect and obsessed with his own issues, sucks at being self-aware and just was more of a little brother than any sort of father. I have tried to forgive and move past him while guarding myself from him, but he brings it all back up again.
It's not like I can move to another country or town, my parents helped me buy my house in the first place - another reason I feel guilty about him.
He has never been any sort of a Dad and I want to forgive and move past him, get on with my life. I just can't though

ya so much so, he's a very intensely loving and passionate man, who refuses to be self aware or see the world outside his environmental causes and claptrap

Do you have a Therapist that can help you process what your dealing with?
