Nervous around my Father?

Question

Hello, everyone was very helpful with my other question (thank you!) and that I'm hoping you guys can help me with this one too.

I'm experiencing some strange feelings recently. Over the weekend, my Father and I talked, got angry, cried and apologized.

For some reason ever since then, I feel nervous and anxious around my Father. I hate this! I almost feel like I'm making myself sick with worry. I don't know why because he's my Dad and I love him and I know he loves me. So, why am I worrying?

I feel comfortable with everyone else in my family, but him. I didn't used to feel this way until after our talk.

What can I do?

I sat down with him and apologized for things I said that I didn't mean.

I feel like maybe he's acting a little different towards me. Sort of like walking on eggshells around me (unless it's my imagination) and being extra nice to me.

Answer 1

Have you sat down with and talked to him about how you feel? Obviously just apologizing hasn't resolved your feelings quite yet. He may be be feeling the same way you do. Good luck, I hope this helps, and that you and your dad will be okay again:)

Answer 2

Try telling him how you feel see if he feels the same way or is upset about it too. Talking again may resolve whatever is bothering you and may help you to feel close to him again. If you are uncomfortable talking to him yet try talking to a close friend. Good Luck and God Bless

Answer 3

Emotions are complex. Be thankful that you have the opportunity to "work it all out " with Dad. Many folks in life don't even get that chance. Best wishes.

Answer 4
