Just having a bad time... He has commented on my brother kids Halloween pictures on FB but nothing on mine. Maybe I should write him again but I don't want him to feel that he has to say things if he doesn't mean it.

My father never used to say 'I love you', so I decided to say it to him first over the phone 12yrs ago, from that moment on my dad says I love you after every phone conversation.
Sometimes its hard on men to show affection, my father is 75yrs old and he never had affection growing up, so I know this is why he's never been affectionate with us growing up.
PP if you can feel there's favouritism, you need to speak up, talk to your dad, its so common for people to hold their feelings in and then when they're parents pass they never got it off their chest and that is so much worse.Quote:

I have spent my whole life trying to get his attention and now I don't work as a hard anymore but I want him to tell my kids he loves them. He talked to DS1 in June and when my son said I love you Opa come see me soon my dad said nothing but bye. DS1 is easy to understand so I know he heard it.
I have recently decided to stop talking to my dad for awhile, in an email I said we are busy working on the house. After I am done swaying I will call him and talk to him. I just need to keep good thoughts in my head.
Im so glad you spoke to him, you've done your bit PP, now he needs to step up to the plate.
I think your doing the best thing by keeping your distance while swaying cause you need to focus on being positive & your father makes you feel negative.
I really hope your father can change his ways one day soon before its too late.
