[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you have very, very high expectations of your father.  You want him to structure your life with your husband, to basically proctor your husband into being the type of man you'd like him to be.  You want your father to be a kind of "Movieland" father who shows up and shows his emotions on his sleeve while at the same time being a real man who knows about money, deeds, accounting, farming, working.  He makes it all happen and takes care of everyone and all their problems all the time.

OP, part of growing up (sorry, condescending, I know) is realizing that your father can't possible fulfill as these expectations.  Who could?  And when he doesn't fulfill your mythical expectations, well then, he's just a sperm donor to you and deserves to be completely cut off.

OP, you need to accept your father is a human being and he's actually getting older.  He can only do so much and be so much.  You are an adult.  You are married.  You are now in charge of your own life.  Be the person starring your movie of your life, in charge.  Don't expect others to take care of you.  Anyone. [/quote]
