• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I don't know if I want to see my Dad again or not, the thing is, he really hurt me, not just physically when I was little, or by letting certain things happen to me when he knew they would, but, when he left, he hardly ever speaks to us, I haven't seen him in 2 years now, and, well, he raises his hand to me within a very short time of me being there, and not even for reasons, just does it. I don't know if I could hancdle it, if it would really throw my anxiety again, make me more depressed, or make me feel thae way I did alst time when I came back, and when I was still there. I haven't spoken to him in 4 months, and only speak to him when I phone cos he forgets I'm alive (I think or he's just being an a**hole).

I'm not sure if I want to see him, even though I know if I did, it would just bring everything up and make me feel bad again, it getting really close to the summer hols now, and, I don't know if he'll ring, if he does, I don't know if I can say no again, or explain how I feel and why, cos he just ignores it!

is it wrong for me to miss him even though he did these things?

please help me! :cry: :cry: :cry: I'm soo scared!

I think it is normal to miss a parent because we're supposed to have parents that love and care for us. So you're not weird or crazy for wanting that. Your dad is the cause of all of this mess. I'm sorry for this. You deserve a loving father. But your dad doesn't deserve to have you as a daughter. It's not ok to be treated poorly, to be abused by anyone, not even your dad. Abuse is beyond excuse.

Thanks Mr.cheese, I guess I'm just worried about losing contact with him altogether, when it comes to speaking to him over the phone, well, the balls in his court now, I don't have his number any more and don't even know where he lives! I do miss him, loads, but, I'm afraid of him too! oh well, guess I have to leave it up to him, and, if he phones, he phones, if not, then, well, God's the perfect Father anyway, I should really be working on my relationship with him anyway!
God bless
