I could never be sure he loved me. He just wasn’t that stable. And Mom was too busy hating herself to even notice me.
I guess I’m still just looking for sympathy. It’s like I need to tell someone why I’m not normal.
Did you try psychotherapy and antidepressant meds?
Yes. I have both. I don’t know what else to do.
I am not trying to downplay your difficulties but I think dysfunctional families is quite normal. idk, I might be wrong.
mental health issues seems to be the norm nowadays.
but we all have our unique issues, yea.
Maybe he found it hard to love people, but he tried his best?
was your relationship with your dad strained? (if you don’t mind me asking )
Yes, it was strained. I couldn’t relax. He was a very nervous man.
my dad is a very positive and understanding man. I find it hard to relate to his religiosity but anyways.
he is very supportive and non judgemental to me.
Maybe his religion makes the difference for him.
yea I think it gives him a lot of strength.
whenever I have problems he always tells me to turn to God about it
Yes. I’ve heard “Let go and let God.”
Never heard that before. It has a funny ring to it lol.
Not meant to be funny. It means when you feel overwhelmed to stop clutching and let God handle it. I heard it on the Delilah radio program.
what do you mean?
Clutching is a term that means sort of like panicking.
