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 Sam C..
M dad has never liked me, perfect example is he is a control freak. Always getting me into trouble for the most simplest of things, not leaving me alone and giving me my personnel space. Im now 35 and its still that bad, he’s never happy with what ever I do, new car, moving out, job. We have never communicated to the point where we tell each other our feelings, hell no would I tell him anything anyway. He even called the cops on me because I was angry at something that had nothing to do with him what so ever in which he most likely thought the opposite. This was only a year ago. He thinks he knows and understands me but trust me he doesn’t and there is know way in hell I would let him either. Other examples are when I was going out with my first gf he obviously wasn’t happy with that getting her in trouble also. Recently he had some family friends over and I was having a general chat with his friend about my 4wd, he constantly went off at me for being rude and all I was doing was having a conversation with someone else. This is the sort of thing I have had to put up with my entire life. I can’t deal spending time with him or being around him anymore, sad thing is now after him calling the cops on me he is acting all nice and proper and trust me it’s just an act (cant deal with it for much longer) Unfortunately im stuck living at home job hunting, but as soon as I get a job ill be moving out of home and renting.
