seems the only time he calls or wants to talk is to talk about what the other members of the family are doing, someone has died or dying, or in the hospital. These are the only times I speak with him or his wife.

Tell him how you feel and that you would like to talk to him on a more regular basis- not only when something bad has happened.

I am so going through the same thing. My dad only calls me when my little brother and sisters come down for the month of July to talk to them! Or to tell me how his parents are doing... Or today My step dad was taking the kids back to his house (we live about 3 hours away from him) and they were late about 2 hours late and my dad called me wanting to know where the kids were and what had happened...(him and my mom cannot talk without yelling and screaming and my step dad doesn't have a phone) So my dad called me more times tonight in a 2 hour time frame then he has called me seriously in about 2 years! So my advise to you other than do nothing! Is to make the first move. Make the initial contact.... Depending on your relationship with your dad depends on how well it will go! Good Luck!

That happens to me too. The last time I heard from my dad was the first week of August when his dad died. I think you just have to reach the stage of your life when you just have to tell him the truth like I did or just ignore him.
As a woman we need to hear from our fathers in good time and bad not just when he wants something.

Level with him about your feelings. Heck, you may not know some of these people very well, dont know how your relationship is with your dad. I didnt know mine for 20 years and it was different, but I still loved him.
I could always talk to him about these things. Try it, he maybe glad to clear the air about it. At least he will know how you feel about it.

Maybe he doesn't know what else to talk to you about. He may just need a reason to call and doesn't feel he can call just bcuz. Try calling him instead and just give him an update on your day or week. Ask how his is going.

Tell him what you are feeling about it.
Remember also that at least you have a Dad where as some do not. At least he calls you??
Good luck

I finally told my dad, "Look either have a relationship with me and my family or don't." Meaning, come around more, or don't call me at all.
Luckily, it worked and he came around more :)
