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 Lauren.
Everything described in this article describes a battle I’ve been fighting for 28 years. However, does this healing process have to be a two-way street? My father has never apologized for anything. I can only assume he believes he’s done nothing wrong. But watching him get emotional as my three other siblings graduated high school when mine was the only one he missed is still incredibly painful, and the reason I chose to forgo walking at my college graduation.I don’t even know if he thinks he did anything wrong. I’ve been through nearly a decade of therapy and group counseling, but when he treats my like he did when I was a child, all the hurt and emotions I thought I had gotten over or worked through come flooding back with a vengeance. So how do I repair that relationship?
