[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dad and I are very close.  He is remarried to a woman I am also close with. I brought it up with him in a very non-confrontational way, but I usually don't complain about much, so he knows it meant enough to me to mention. During our conversation I could tell he was a little pensive when he said, "...but I guess it would be good for you to see the family, too." My bet is after this trip he will talk with me more.

Not buying this. I think close means something different to your dad.

If all the other cousins are there, he isn't getting sibling time anyway. If the other cousins aren't getting in the way of his sibling time, you wouldn't be getting in the way either.  Is it possible that there is something about the dynamic between you which causes him to enjoy himself less in groups when you are around, but still has fun when other young people are around? Under normal circumstances, dad would want you to be included with your family, especially cousins. [/quote]
