Comment on So you grew up with a dad who didn’t know how to express love? Here’s how it could be affecting you today by Shane.
Dear Sarah,
I have two daughters. My elder one just turned to 14 and she has barely started high school. Being a Father I have been loving them from the bottom of my heart. My elder daughter used to be with me so closed since she was 6 years. But since a year ago she alternatively ignores me and when she wants not even talk with me. I am in severe pain due to this and I just cant even concentrate my job. When she doesn’t talk and ignore me, I cant sleep at all. I am suffering as if I am about to die, and feel so much emptiness, I love my daughter so much. I never keep anything short for her, she is so smart in studies. She always used take guidance from me when she was little. She somewhat closed to her mom more than me and spends most of the time in her room doing studies and her other stuff. About 4 months ago I hit her and told her “I hate you ” and get out of my house”. I could not bear any more of her ignoring me. Thereafter I will never ever hit or say those words determined to my self. So now when she wants to, she talks with me for a short time, but most of the time she just ignores me in spite of my attempts to start conversation so lovingly. We had a baby boy 1 year and 4 months old. I love him so as much as I love both of my daughters. Please help me.
