[quote=Anonymous]My father and I have never really gotten along that well. My parents divorced when I was 2 and I occasionally spent part of summer with him. When I was a teenager I moved in with him though due to some problems I only stayed for about a year and had to move out. We didn't really talk very often for a couple of years and then I got married had a kid and was a sahm. He still wasn't part of my life because he didn't really care to be I don't think. Now that I'm working again and my son is older my father has made himself a weekly fixture in my sons life which is great. He spoils him and occasionally takes him places.

However, my father still doesn't tell me he loves me or that he's happy for me or anything. He still seems fairly distant even though we see each other on a regular basis. He doesn't really seem interested in me or my life unless it has to do with my son. He undermines everything I tell my son to do when I am around and then acts like its no big deal even though I have told him to stop.  I don't get it. It is like he is purposefully making it more difficult for me and he seems to get a kick out it.

I would love some advice because I have struggled for years with this. Anyone have any advice or clues as to why he is acting this way? [/quote]
