[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You are processing a lot of trauma while going through trauma.[/b] I am so sorry. Everything you’re describing makes perfect sense.

Keep asking him for help when you need it, keep staying curious about this complicated feelings.

Sending good energy to your beautiful daughter. [/quote]

+1 to the above, OP. And also keep in mind that your father may be processing his own trauma. He was denied the bond of parenthood with you but had the weight of worrying as a parent as well.

Give both yourself and him some grace. Even if you had a close, continuous relationship this would be hard because it's just a hard situation to have a seriously ill child. Best of luck to you and prayers and strength to your daughter for healing.[/quote]

Completely agree w/ every word of these posts.

He's showing you love OP - he's demonstrating it, living it, proving it. Try to let that be enough for right now. He won't be perfect (none of us are) but right now you need to be able to count on his actions. Over time you and he may find your way to other expressions also.

Hang in there. Sending you hugs and support - you have gotten a raw deal in life and have so much on your plate. [/quote]
