I'm so sorry Jo that he acts that way. Sounds like there is something wrong with him. You deserve good treatment! I know how hard it is to have a parent treat you that way. Try and think about all of us here at BE that love you so much. I am praying for you and him. Bless you.
Love,
Ruth

Maybe he just isn't good at communicating. Maybe he just doesn't have very good social skills. Some people just don't know what to say to other people. What did he say to you? Try not to let it hurt you to much. Try not to take it personal. I know that sounds easy but it's not. With some people, we are just not going to get the kind of relationship we want with them. We are either going to have to accept what we have with them and not expect any more (and not get hurt by them anymore) or we can decide that we don't want a relationship with them. I had to do that with my mom. She gave me up/taken from her, into foster care at a very young age but we still had a little contact throughout my life. She has a closer relationship with some of my siblings but not with me. It really hurt me for years but I read a book about relationships and soon came to realize that I would never have a real mother and daughter relationship with her!! I had to decide what I wanted to do about it. Did I want to keep trying and continue to get my heart broken or to accept what little relationship we had, for what it was and live with that. I choose the latter. I see her once in a blue moon and we have polite conversation and that's about it. I honor her (like Jesus told us to do) the best way I can and get on with my life. It doesn't hurt me now when she does things with my siblings/neices & nephews and not me/my children. God has healed that open wounds !! He will do the same for you!

I KNOW it is hard it is very hard for me cause my closest friend gets along well with her dad and I have to see this every day and my dad ONLY cares about money..... DEAR FRIEND I WANT TO give you a cyber hug!!!!
