Bad Heart? Dads car ..

Bad Heart? Dads car ..

A Truck hit my dads 4 wheel drive lexus and I think its really bad but when I heard about it with him saying it in his angry tone which seems funny to me I burst into laughing... I feel very disrespectful.. What is the source of this pleasure? Do u think coz I think I want bad for him because I think he tells me to do alot of things when im depressed and sometimes he doesnt want to listen to me when im talking about myself and my feelings which may be negative.?

If so how do I change my heart towards him? I dont feel as close to my parents as I did when I was a child but maybe thats because its a different relationship now? he expects me to be all grown up and get a job, drive a car etc ..
Also I live in australia and I went to canada for a holiday and we went to my grandparents and his parents house just before leaving to the airport and his parents were weeping that we had to leave when I was a child I felt that sadness.. but I dont feel connected much to people even when im with them in order to weep I think? but I think my mum was weeping too and my dad looking like he was going to I think? I laughed sometimes not knowing how to react.. What do u think about that?
Also plz pray for the salvation of my grandparents who are very old..
Appreciate the help thx

I sounds like you would very much like your dad to listen to you in a welcoming and accepting way--just to acknowledge how you feel, even if it is negative. Maybe your dad thinks he has to fix everything and that he's a failure if he can't and doesn't realize that you just need him to listen and accept how you are feeling. Sometimes, when I need to talk things out, I tell the person I'm talking to that I just need to talk about it--that way they know that I'm not expecting them to have a solution for me. Maybe you're nervous about what to say in some situations because you haven't felt like what you said would be accepted--people often have a nervous laugh when they don't know how to respond. I admire you for not wanting to be disrespectful, and especially for your prayers for your grandparents.

I'll agree with you in prayer for your grandparents. I was blessed to have wonderful grandparents that I'm looking forward to seeing again in Heaven.
