Why am I scared of my own father?

this situation is very understandable. of course you are scared, angry or at the very least worried about continuing your disrupted relationship with your real dad. Why?

here are some reasons:

1. your dad left you. its reason enough to harbor hard feelings for him.
2. he was in jail. that’s kinda scary.
3. the dad you have now (your sister’s dad) is what you consider as the father figure in your life. you wont want to disrespect or like, get him kinda jealous or something.
4. you are also probably scared because if you 2 get close and he leaves again, you’ll be really heartbroken (I’m not saying he’ll leave, im saying it might be possible :s im sorry :s)

this is really a complicated situation you’re in. you might wanna sort out your feelings first. if this happened to me. I’d probably get to know my real dad but I’ll be cautious about my feelings in case he leaves again as I wouldnt want to be devastated/disappointed. :s

good luck!

it might be because he was in jail until you were in kindergarten and left and maybe some part of you doubts all of the excuses and your afraid of finding out the “truth”. or your so use to having this one dad and suddenly there is this new person in your life that has the same title “dad” and your brain is being confused and it uses fear to over ride that confusion.
