i'm giving up on him is that ok?

Question

this is an email i sent my dad after that i'm done trying. is that ok?
i'm not sending you an email to cause any trouble or grief. i just have a few things to say. respond if you want to or leave at this.

i feel like you missed so much of my life because you didn't want to be in it.
i feel that you never wanted kids.
i feel that you thought raising kids without mom was too hard and gave up.
i want what we use to have.
i miss being your pumpkin.
one day i want you to walk me down the aisle because you want to not because you feel obligated to.
i hate how you tell chelsea that i'm a *****
i hate how you don't want chelsea talking to me because you think i'm a bad influence.

dad,

i graduated with honors, i have a college degrees, i'm supporting myself and i know the real world is hard but i'm making it and have been for 3 years now. i'm 20 and i feel you've missed so much. i'm not trying to pull a guilt trip just trying to get **** off my chest.

love,
natash

Answer 1

I know your frustration! It's so hard when someone you love just seems to act like you are a burden. I urge you not to give up on your dad. If he won't respond in a loving way then don't shut the door forever. At least let him know that he is welcome to talk to you when and if he is ever ready. In the meantime do what you can to lessen the huge impact that this has on you. I'm sorry you are going through this too.
