My father and I aren't that close...so I try and call him to spend some time together but he is so wrapped up in his other family that he doesnt have time for me or my sisters. I'm so tired of trying but he is my dad, the only one I have. I have tried to talk to him but he is who he is. Any suggestions?

He is a very blessed father to have you as a daughter! Of course you want a relationship with him, and it's so sad that it seems he's not making time for one with you and your sisters. I really believe in situations like the one you're going through, that we really need to turn to Jesus and ask Him to help us with those things we can't fix ourselves. Ask Jesus to put His love into your father's heart, and that he would come to realize how much you all love him and want to have a relationship with him. I will be praying for this too! God bless you!!!
Lovingly,
Virginia

Yes, I have a suggestion. Forget him. Blood doesn't make a father, love, understanding, communication, etc. etc.
makes a parent and he doesn't seem to be anywhere near a father.
Make your own life, with your sister and other relatives, but leave this jerk on his own. Do not try to make him into something he is not, and probably will never be. It is better to be without a man like that in your life, than to have somebody you are TRYING to get to love you. Love yourself, have pride in yourself and get on with your life.

Get him a card and write a 2 page letter explaining how you feel. And how you would like to be included into his life.

Write him a letter and tell him how you feel and WHY you feel the way you do.He will read it and it might sink in.
