I'm more than happy to have a stranger comment... I hope that your relationship with your dad works itself out... and that he can understand one day, that no matter what happened, he's your dad... and you love him :) Amber, thank-you.

I really do. Sometimes these fathers grow up. Sometimes you can have a relationship with them as a person. Sometimes they even learn to like, respect and admire the woman you have become in spite of them. Good luck and hugs to you Jinxie! Great first post! I hope that you get your dream to come true.

My parents divorced around the time yours did. He and I never got along well, and I lived every other week at his house until I was 12. Then, I moved in with him full-time for two years. At the end of two years under his mind-squashing rule, I moved in with my mom. My decision to leave hurt him so bad that I haven't had a relationship with my father by his choice for about 10 or 15 years. (I'm now 29.) I spent several years making an effort to have and repair our relationship only to feel my heart break with rejection every time we talked. So I stopped giving him my energy for about 5 years. My dad and I were in contact when I had my son 3 years ago, but it's been quiet since, and we live in different states. It sounds like you are on your way to a better relationship with your dad, and I like your responsible actions of not giving or loaning him money. Yes, you ARE worth it. Be glad for the time you have with him. I know it might seem odd for a stranger to comment on your blog, but I related to your story. My parents divorced around the time yours did.
