Does anyone else not remember the last time their father hugged them?

Question

I mean, im almost 15, and I honestly can't remember a single time other than once that my father hugged me. This sounds terrible, but I truly dont even feel a sense of love towards him. He's also kind of got his problems with alcohol....Is this wrong to feel? I mean, I have my reasons, but I don't think their very justified.
I feel that my big brother is more of a father figure than my father is. And im not sure the bad relationship with my father is a bad thing. . . because I think that's why im so close to my brother, no one's ever loved me like her has before, and never will. Nor will i love anyone as much. But is it bad for me to not feel this sense of love towards him? It's weird...

Answer 1

no, kid, its not wrong.
Our parents have to EARN our love, and of course that goes both ways.
Don't beat yourself up about it, get on with your own life, and just be grateful he isn;t hugging you in a sinister way.
No hug is better than a sick hug.
Try and get a real live person to talk with like a counselor,or a social worker instead of anonymous people on the internet.
Have an amazing life.

Answer 2

I have a very very good memory from things that my parents can't believe that I even know about......but anyways no I can not remember either of my parents ever hugging me, they are both more like really good friends to me rather than parents.And that has only happened since I moved out 7 years ago before that I was always resentful and felt unloved as well.

Answer 3

Not a clue, then again I am in my 40's and very rarely see my parents due to living quite a way from them

Answer 4

My last hug from my dad was when I was 6 years old. He died soon after that from heart failure.

Answer 5

Yeah I remember, what an awkward moment that was.
