I am 28.
I found my biological father 2 years ago. We met, things went well, I thought he accepted me, even liked me. I wanted to get to know him, and for him to know me, and for me to have a Dad.
We have had a few outings, spent time with each other, and I've even been to a family reunion. He hugs me and tells me that he's glad that I am in his life. He has called a couple of times, but it seems that the longer time goes on, the less I hear from him. He forgot my B-day (in Sept), and did not call for Thanksgiving. He had the year before.
It's just seeming like I'm doing so much to stitch us back together.
As the holiday season is here, I am feeling Father-less, and really want him around.
My dh says to just let him go. He has had his chance to have me as his daughter now (twice) and he isn't too eager to take it.
Is DH right? Do I have to come to terms with rejection, again? Or should I keep going?
Thanks for your opinion. It hurts, be gentle.
