how do i make up with my dad?

Question

I HAVENT SPOKEN TO HIM FOR 2 MONTHS

Answer 1

Same here except it's been 8 years now. We were so close when I was growing up. Mom always said we were two of a kind, I am so much like him. When I went thru my divorce I refused to let him take over, I knew my ex would blame them and turn his anger towards my parents so I wouldn't ask them for advise or help. Anyway Dad took it as a slap in the face and refused to talk to me. He would walk out of a room if I came in, he even went as far as leaving the table half-way through dinner because I showed up. Anyway, Mom said for me to just keep coming around and he would eventually get over his hurt. We talk very little, I still kiss him when I leave. Mom tries getting us together by asking me to do things for them or picking something up on my way there. Dad had a serious operation about 3 years ago and Mom stayed at the hospital thru the day every day for three months. My sister and I took turns staying at night, all night, every day for three months. That was 3 years ago, he's better now in health, but he rarely talks to me and generally it's cutting remarks when he does say something to me directly. But I keep going to see him and Mom like nothing ever happened and hope someday he'll understand I did what I did because I felt it was the right thing to do.

Just keep going around him. He'll come around.

Answer 2

Well, if you feel that the time is right for you and your father to become one once again then obviously only you and he can do so.
Why don't you just sit him down and have a proper heart to heart with him, explain to him exactly how you are feeling and ask him to do the same, I mean you only live once and also we all only get ONE mother and ONE father, so my advice to you is to make up and sort out any discrepancies you can before it is too late, because trust me on this one once there gone there is absolutely no going back, and believe me you will feel so much more hurt/angry/annoyed/upset/ etc etc etc if something happened to your father and you were still not talking, Life is far to short to let things get between family and friends.
So as i said before i would suggest that you and your father sit down and have a proper heart to heart about how you are BOTH feeling and what you can both do help each other over come what ever went wrong with your relationship in the first place for it to get like it is at the moment.

Answer 3

You can't go wrong by writing to him. I don't know why you havent spoken to him for so long but if you tell him how you feel and that you love him etc it should do the trick. People can't ignore a letter, unlike a phone call for example.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Its better to make up with him now then years down the line regretting what might have been.For all you know he might be thinking the same as you.Making the first move will show him that you are mature in wanting to sort your differences out and to get that father-daughter relationship back on track.....Good luck.

Answer 5

yh well i havent spoken to my dad in 6 months and i live with him you need to tell us why you aren't speaking or we wont know how to help

Answer 6

Well i Think You Have to Go to Him And Tell Him : Im Sorry And Can We Start Again and i Wish You Forgive Me and Tell Him that You Know Your Wrong ..And ...Good Luck

Answer 7

Make the first move and say sorry if you feel you were in the wrong. If you don't feel you were in the wrong, then just ask to have a chat about whatever it is that caused this problem

Answer 8

If you dont know how to approach him, maybe the first thing you can do is write him a letter. Tell him how you feel but most of all, tell him your sorry and that you missed and love him very much:)

Answer 9

i will never patch things up with my dad but it doesnt have 2 b like that 4 u just tell him u love him n that ur sorry.

Answer 10

OOPS, I AM A DAD. SO I THINK I AM PARTIAL TO HIM.

But its always love triumphs over anger and hate.
Just go to him and tell him you love him.
Believe me, its worth it.

ONCE UPON A TIME I WAS A CHILD ALSO.

All the best.
