Getting my dad back

So my dad (according to my step mom) gave up on me about a year and 1/2 ago. I have done NOTHING to him. My step mom is a B*. I really think that she is the reason that my dad won’t have anything to do with me. They live together with my demon little sister in Arizone. I’m 17 and I think it’s quite ridiculous that I shoud have to try and try and try to get my own father to talk to me. I emailed him a lot last summer and only got negative emails back. He still talks to my oldest sister about every other day. My grandpa is very disappointed in him and is trying to fix it too. Any advice on what to do to get my dad back.?? Several people think I’m stupid for wanting anything to do with him after what he has done.. but, he is my dad.

Answer #1

no problem Rikki and your a beautiful model, keep that smile of yours up too cause in the end, nobody can make you happy except you and people that know who you “really” are…I hope evrything work out for you, everything happens for reasons and whatever that might be, we all soon will see!!! Plus your doing good by yourself right? but to have a dad it just completes it all..good luck to you :-)

Answer #2

There is a point where you just have to call it quits. However, see if anyone else who he talks to is willing to stop contacting him unless he talks to you. If that doesn’t fix his wagon, that is unfortunate.

Answer #3

You’re right - he’s the Only Dad you’ll ever have - never give up - it’s hurtful and disappointing, but just keep letting him know you miss him and Love him - at least if something happens, you’ll be comforted by your actions…you and he will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey Rikki, give it a little more time, your dad’s the one with the problem, he should’nt have to be reminded of his responsability , even if he’s under pressure from your stepmom who may be envious of your relationship, she should’nt come between the bond of Father and Daughter, it’s up to him to make his effort, give it a little more time so he can come to terms with what he’s said and done, let it sink in and let him respond to you without any pressure from anyone, It may be a slow process , but you’ve done all you can,now it’s his turn to act, I really suspect he wants to show his love, give it time to grow again.

Thank you both!!! I have tried calling him several times. He doesn’t ever answer. I always leave voicemails that I know he listens to. The last one I left said “I know you have given up on me but just know that I’m still trying and I won’t ever give up on you”. He has to be one tough a** man to still not talk to me after that!!! I would go to his house but I live in NC and he lives in AZ. The worst part is, I have a serious medical condition and also, I am a model and he doesn’t even seem to have the slightest bit of interest about either of those things!!! Thanks both of you!!! Especially you “anonomousjuju”. =]] Just gotta keep that smile on my face!

Answer #6

I totally agreeing with you on “he’s my dad” There’s nothing is wrong with trying to get your dad back, but writting him,emails and junks, have you try to call him or even come and visit him and actually sit down and express your feelings. Fuk what your step mom and fuk what your “demon” sister have to say. All its matters is you letting your dad knows how you truly feels. After that, if he still talking negative, I don’t know what I can say, but atleast you did the right thing and you put thoughts in his head. Not today or tomorrow, but soon he will realized! I got mad respect for you girl…keep it up!!! cause I think we can related on some things.

Answer #7

Yes he is your dad! First of all call him and ask why he is not talking to you?? Tell him that he is your blood and to not listen to your stepmom! In the end of the day you guys are more bonded then he will ever be with her… tell him that you will always be there for him and for him to tell you why he is not talking to you… if he dosent want to hear it then write him an email that way it will only get sent to him instead of a letter where your stepmom can find and throw out. he will read the email im sure. Emotions run deeper then anything so if you want to get to him use your emotions : ) good luck
