I am ungrateful sometimes

My father was one who I think helped me to recover but I keep on thinking he’s stopping me from finding myself.He wake me up to work,recommended and accompanied me to do exercise yet deep inside me I don’t like him.Is it the illness causing the trouble,I hope it stops,life is difficult hating someone and especially your parent

How come you dislike him?

Hey,@mortimermouse I think he didn’t treat me well during childhood,he prefers my brother,I know everyone has preference and maybe I happen to be the unlucky child!
Not everyone will like each other,even if you seems very important to the person

Hi, my son recently was diagnosed, until then, I had no idea, why he wasn’t leaving normal life, I was so upset and he feels about me, the way you feel about your father, If I knew, what was going on, I would have different approach, (I.m sorry , English is my 3rd language and I never took classes), I know, your father loves you so much, and dislikes, we had, just because, we didn’t know better, and I am truly sorry for that

My Mom neglected me as a child. Told me a lot of ■■■■■■■■. Mental abuse and some physical abuse. The mental is what did me in. She ruined my life. But now i forgive her. We don’t have the greatest relationship, but we get along mostly. I found out not that many years ago that she was sexually abused by her dad. That’s why she is the way she is. I believe she tried her best with me as a child. I can’t hold a grudge … She treats me OK now . It sounds like your dad is trying to be there for you right now. I don’t think you can ask for more than that. Try to forgive

I had a hard time with my mom from teenage on. She couldn’t understand what I was dealing with and couldn’t help me. Only later, and now after she’s gone, do I understand better why she was so limited. She was severely abused, including sexually, by her father. Her first marriage was abusive. She tried to commit suicide. She never wanted the seven children she ended up having. I am number seven. She did love me, but she was exhausted and broken by time she had me, and all my problems. She was only human after all. I hope your relationship with your dad improves. Natural feelings of annoyance help us become adults and separate, but there can also be friendship and understanding. Communication is important. I wish you the best.

It’s natural to have mixed feelings about someone who pushes you to do things you don’t want to do. Maybe your dad makes you feel less grown up than you’d like. Just a possibility.
