Think about how you would feel if you lost him tonight, then maybe the answer will come to you...... I would go and see him as soon as possible, because I left it too late at Chistmas time there and when I eventually went to visit him he did not remember me, as dementia had set in!! He just looked at me and said who are you? I will never forget it!! Think about it pet, you have only one dad and he wont be around forever.....Forget the other woman, do this for yourself!!
maybe your a selfish little brat
Well I really don't know. Do you and your father get along. Has the other girl been the one going to see him and doing for him? I'm sure he isn't treating you this way just because.Afterall you are his daughter. Maybe you should just ask him what the prob is.
love him and give him time
This is a terrible thing, the only suggestion I have is to sit down with your Dad when you two are alone and really tell him how you feel. Since he is sick he may not be aware of his behavior. Keep going to see him no matter what.
Don't hold it against him... give him time
When my father remarried and had another child I could have fallen off the face of the earth for all he cared. We didn't have any relationship for years then I decided to try - not for HIS sake but for MINE. I needed to make peace for myself. He is very ill now and has come around quite a bit but I will never be to him what the other child is and that's just how it is. But, when he dies, I will have a clear conscious and know I did all I could.
What is your problem? My father was drugged when he was in the hospital dying from cancer. He didn't recognize any of us. Maybe he's got dementia or Alzheimer's, or is drugged to diminish pain.
It was nothing personal I'm sure. Be thankful it's not you, lighten up please. There has to be a medical reason.
How is this friend related to him? It depends kind of....but either way he shouldn't treat you that way, so I'm sure he didn't mean to. Go back to see him yourself, without her. I'm sure you'll see it was a misunderstanding, hopefully!
Good luck......Best wishes xox
and this is in P&S because............................
yes. go & tell him politely how you feel. you dont want to regret anything. tell him even though there is differences between you two that you dont want any hard feelings. tell him you want to be there for him but you feel uncomfortable. leave the next step up to him. he may have issues expressing his feelings. you will feel better knowing that at least you tried.
