Q: Dad problems.

My mother got a divorce when i was only 9 months old. My dad didn't want anything to do with me until i was 2 years old. He finally started coming to see me when i was 3. Well now im 21 and me and my step sister got in a huge arguement and my step mom now hates me. I havent seen my dad in over 5 months. About once a month he'll txt me but hes never told me he loved me or hugged me or anything. He's never acted like a father. He just asks like a friend. Recently he told me he loved me for the very first time. I used to cry ever night because my mom always tells me she loves me but my dad never did. Then when he finally told me i thought it would be different i thought we would be closer but we're not. It really hurts me because i love him so much and he just asks like we're friends. He wont even drive 45 mins to see me. My boyfriend hates it and says hes an fool and hes not a father. It really upsets me when he says that because i love my father very much. I just dont know what to do.

No offense, but your stories are at best, confusing. I do not know how to give you proper advice because either you are not telling the whole story, or you are misconstruing things. Taken from another forum on here:

was an alcoholic and my father was too busy with his new family to even pretend that he cared about me. I made alot of life changing decisions that i wish i wouldnt have made and i wish my mother was there for me to make the right decision.

You have also said you were engaged. I am not trying to pass judgement, I am simply observing. Your family seems quite unstable and the best advice I can give you is to move on. You cannot change some people, no matter how hard you try. A father's love can be quite complex, I have my own stories. Sometimes you have to move on and give the person a chance to see what they are missing in order for them to come around.

My father got a girl pregnant soon after him and my mother got a divorce. So he married the girl and they have been married for about 12 years now. And she hates me. She has always been mean to me even when i was a kid. But now that i dont go to my dads house anymore i never see him and i barely talk to him. And yes my mother was an alcoholic when i was growing up because of the divorce. And yeah i am engaged but i didnt know how to spell fiance. I know i should move on but as of right now i dont think i will ever be able to let go...

Ah okay, now I see. It is OKAY to move on. And moving on doesn't necessarily mean you have to let go. Especially with family. But you need to know that YOU are important and since your family cannot convey that to you, it is best (for yourself) that you get out of that situation. How your family treats you will impact your self-worth and self-esteem. And you should ALWAYS feel that you are worth something.
