i’m a 22 year old guy and my dad is an accountant. he is all about making money, and seems to have forgotten about his children.
all was seemingly “fine” with me and my dad; i was going to college like he wanted, until one day i realized i was naive and i quit college.
he isn’t following his dreams, and he didn’t want me to either.
anyways, i am currently working, living at home for the past 2 years, and he doesn’t have any consistent communication with me.
his father was an alcoholic and was never around, so i don’t know if that plays into it, but he’s a horrible father when it comes to building relationships with your sons.
we never talk about personal stuff ever; he has never been there for me EVER to discuss real issues in life… he just doesn’t show real interest in my life.
i am currently struggling to follow my dreams and find my niche in life, and it seems like he won’t help me out because he never followed his dreams..
almost like he’s secretly rooting for my failure because he knows deep down that he has wasted his entire life.
it’s almost like he’d rather worship his job and money, then have a authentic relationship with his kids.
his whole life seems built on his pride..
thoughts?

My Father Does Not Love Me?
Posted on February 6, 2013.
I know that your father loves you. He may not know how to show it, but he does love you.
I know that no one is perfect and they all make mistakes. Have you sat down with him ever to try to talk to him, man to man?
Tell him that you would like to sit with him and talk to him. Tell him what you appreciate about him and what things you admire that he does. Tell him what you would like with him, like a closer relationship. Let him know what you mean by that. He may not fully understand now, or ever. Tell him that you would like for him to listen to you, not necessarily to “fix” things, but at least to listen and may give some advice.
I am sure he doesn’t want you to fail. Compliment him first. You may have to go in stages. Accept who he is and let him know who you are. Be respectful and keep a good tone of voice with him.
Pray and ask God to help you talk to your dad so that he understands what you are saying.
then dont doesrv his love
