I have a bad relationship with my father.
I have a bad relationship with my father and he blames me that I do not share enough with him, while he is also not doing that.
Now they think that it is because of his new girlfriend, although I have said many times now that this is not the problem.
This year it escalated, because he broke is promise and it was told to me by her. He thinks it is about the object, but for me it is about that he did not say anything before that he would come back to it.
I do not know what to do anymore. Now I have to go to a birthday visit soon and I do not know how to handle this.
Dear Amanda
I am sorry to read that you and your father do not have the relationship you wish for. Seems lonely to me. For him and for you.
I think it is difficult to get into contact again after an escalation. I hope you found a good solution.
I wish you all the best
