Ok, this started awhile ago. I have been going to my dad's every weekend since I was a small child. I am 17 now. Anyways, lately I have been busy on Saturdays (since it is my senior year...homecomings, act, ect....) He told me " I understand that you are getting older and you don't want to come over as much" that is not the case at all!!!! So he recently got his phone shut off and he nolonger has an email. I have wanted to go over for a few weeks now and he has made no attempt to call me. I know for a fact that he finds a way to get my little brother (from a dif. mom) . I don't understand why he ditched me like this. do you???

It's a little hard to say with such a small amount of information. Perhaps how that you are more of an adult, he just doesn't know quite how to relate to you. Some fathers have trouble seeing their daughters as women.
I suggest strongly that you write him a letter and tell him that you love him, want to see him, want him to be a part of your life, and vice-versa. Tell him how you feel and see how he responds.
Good Luck to you!

Well, I think you need to look beyond yourself on this one. You say he's made no attempt to call or contact you, but you don't say how many attempts you've made to contact him. Why is that? It's not like you don't know where he lives! Transportation must not be an issue, you've been there before. Make an attempt!!
Sure, he's the parent and has always initiated the contact in the past....correct? Well, you blew him off for your own entertainment benefits on more than one occasion...the ball's in your court, sweetie. You're the one with the obviously busy social life.....be the maturing adolescent you're supposed to be and call your father!!

Well, maybe he is embarassed that he is having some financial difficulties and doesn't want you to know. So why don't you send him an invitation in the mail, for you to cook him dinner at this place say a week from now. Or invite him out to have a burger somewhere, so it's just you and him. I think too, that maybe he's trying to accomodate you because of your age and doesn't want to interfere in your life. So reach out to him. You'll both be glad you did.

I'm sure your father misses his visits with you as well. He probably just feels a little hurt thinking you no longer want to see him. Just talk to him I'm sure you can find a way. Call him at his job if you can, drive or get a ride to his house when you know he's home, etc.
