[quote=Anonymous]Op, I have the opposite scenaria, same issue. My mother died when I was young, and my father and I aren't close. Dad and I get along -- he's a perfectly nice guy -- but not a lot of emotional bonding going on between us. It makes me sad not to have that in my life with a parent. I don't have any answers. I've built a life with others (husband, kids, in laws) I'm emotionally close to. I've tried to move on. I've even talked about this in therapy. It is what it is. On bad days I try to remember that every single person I've ever met has some challenges to deal with in their life. I try to count my blessings for what I do have in abundance. I also sometimes just let myself be sad without judging myself negatively for it. I find this sometimes is better than trying to "get over" the feeling. I just accept it and it passes. Wishing you peace and happiness, OP.[/quote]
