As a little girl did you have an active relationship with your father?
I never had a bond with my biological father how ever I knew him, but I didn’t care for him, h didn’t raise me, my stepdad did and we had a decent relationship.
I was daddy’s little girl. Pretty much still am. I know there are days that he has trouble wrapping his head around the fact that I’m pushing 50.
I knew him until the age of eight, he left my mom, sister and I and we never saw him again. I have heard about him through the years..apparently he re-married and I have a half brother.
my dad has always suffered from depression. never considered getting help-generational thing. he is the world’s sweetest man, hard worker and loves us all desparately-but I believe that his depression made it very, very hard for him to have a relationship with us b/c he was obsessed with “what’s wrong, I feel your pain, I’m your dad, I can see your pain“. As kids we weren’t told about his depression but we got tired of being told that and inbetween being asked “how are you?” literally on a constant loop these questions.
Now he’s got Alzheimer’s and he re-iterates the same thing b/c he can’t remember.
I wish I had been a daddy’s girl, I wish he had gotten help so that there had been a close connection. something that will always be missing for all of us. 
You all make me realize how very very lucky I am. I think maybe I better make the time to go see my dad tomorrow.
My parents divorced when I was 2 and I lived with my mom. My dad had a bad temper and he screamed and cursed a lot. When he would come visit, he would always start fighting with my mom. I was scared of him to be honest.
Now when I got older, after I got married, our relationship got better and I felt we were getting closer. Unfortunately he died shortly after I got married and never met his grandchildren.
Create lasting relationships
