I made some life-choices as an adult. My father has not approved of these choices, which I believe is why he hasn't talked to me. We used to have a very good relationship, one where I could tell him anything. I suffer from Bi-Polar disorder, and have been diagnosed here and there with several other mental conditions. I know I don't have the most soundest of judgement. But I still feel like I need my dad, like I need at least one person I can talk to and trust that they aren't out to get me.
I know I'm a failure in my dad's eyes. I know I've screwed up my life according to him.
My questions:
Is it wrong of me to still want to talk to my dad?
When a parent disowns their child, don't they usually say "I want nothing to do with you!" or do they just fall out of touch?
Any ideas of how to present myself to my dad, to try to repair our relationship??
Any help, advice, or personal stories would be Greatly Appreciated.
