    yup. it sucks...fucking gets me every time even though I know that he has proven time and time again that he hasn't changed. It's because I keep wanting him to be what I want. I think deep down it's really about feeling rejected by a parent...that is hard to accept.

    But I'm sure your father loves you; he just doesn't know how to be the kind of dad you need and have needed your whole life. You know the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Yeah, that. Stop expecting your father to be different when he's shown you exactly who he is.

    • Yah, that's definitely it. The rejection bit. It's fucking hard to deal with, man.dMullins
    • And you're right. I need to be more realistic here.dMullins
