Q: I Feel Guilty....

Ok sorry its going to be a little long.. But I feel really guilty. To make a long story short, me and my dad have had a crappy relationship. We never have got along, we always fight, we never ever talk or communicate, and hes always been really grouchy. I mean I hadnt had a conversation, a real one, with him in years and we live inthe same house. And in my family, u dont say I love you.. Or get sentimental or say sorry (especially with my dad) but lately hes been a little better and understanding.. Well today, after I got all upset for basically no reason, me and my dad got in a little argument. .I mean it was soo small, I normally never woulda let it get to me.. But it did.. So I went outside and cried for an hour...Well my dad came out looking for me and actually sat down and talked to me! I mean I was stunned.. And he talked to me all nice. .And he put his arm around me!?! And he apoligized! He said he was sorry and he knows im going through alot and that he thinks its my pregnancy emotions and that he was sorry to add to them because I dont need that right now. I mean if u knew my dad.... Gosh hes sooo not like that! Well he was just so nice to me and made me feel better. .Well now I feel awful.. Just terrible.. Because I didnt say thank you.. Didnt give him a hug....But it was so weird for me I was speechless and didnt know what to do. .And still dont! I cant explain it. But I feel terrible now becaus ei dont know if he knew how much it ment to me... Crying or Very sad

I bet he knew how much it was by u stopping your crying. But if another time u get upset and hes there, tell him how much better it makes u feel to know he's there to help and understand u. My dads always the "rough guy no tears" type of thing so lately when he consoles me... It still gets to me cuz hes not the type to tell me "its okay" or "im here for u" but I let him know once that I really appreciate dit and since then, he'll do little things like go downstairs and get me a drink or open the door for me. Once u let him know, he's bound to do it more, so next time just tell him exactly how u feel Smile

Maybe he's looking for a way in to your life. It's never too late to get aquanted with your dad, even tough the two of you argue i'm sure that there is still alot of love there. If you see him trying, make an effort and try yourself. You should try and talk to your dad one day about something to see how he responds to you. I do hope things get better, theres nothing better than having your families full support. Good luck.

Tomm when you get up and its been a little while go give him a hug and say thanks dad.
He will be like wa and then he will smile. I just know it. Even though you guys dont hug and all that you never know you could have a thing started now. Maybe when the baby gets here he will be like a brand new guy. My papa was the same way with my mom and her sister and brother but when I was born he completely changed around I mean like a double 360. Good luck and don't feel guilty hun, he knows you love him.
Lots of love,
heather and hayley
