[quote=Anonymous]I have been having trouble with feelings of jealousy toward my friend with a supportive father since my dad died. I am in my early twenties, and even though I never had a great relationship with my dad when he was still alive, I always thought things would eventually turn around and our relationship would improve. Well that ship sailed when he died suddenly about 6 months ago. The other night I was invited over to a friend's house for dinner and her dad asked us how school was going and he seemed to really listen to my friend and care about how she was doing. It just made me really sad to think that my chance at a good father daughter relationship is gone. My family has never had a lot of money and I've NEVER been jealous of or envied anyone's life in the past because I've always had the idea that I can work towards having more. I guess I am just realizing that no matter how well I do or how hard I work, the chance of having a relationship with my dad is gone. I have been avoiding my friend and I want to know how I can make these jealous feelings towards her life go away? I just want to be able to hang out with her and not feel sorry for myself.
