What if you can't talk to your dad?

Question

What would you do, if you can't talk to your dad, because you know he either switches off, or gets uptight, and angry, when you do talk to him?

This had been going on, a long time, and then suddenly, for no special reason, my mum said she felt sick, because she knows I can't talk to my father. Why is she so upset, just then, even if there hasn't been any preceding conflict? Is it because the problems are so deeply buried, under the surface?

Answer 1

if you can't talk to him write to him. Let him know you wish you could talk to him, and you wish he wouldn't get uptight or switch off.  but understand that maybe he just isn't comfortable with talking about his feelings, etc.  

Let him know that you want to want to resolve your situation with him, because you want to move on and be on good terms again. Ask him for advice, not critisism. and let him know that you want to have a good relationship with him as a father.

even if he doesn't respond back to you. then you have made your attempt on fixing things. so you will at least know the ball is in his court, and if he will eventually come around. hopefully.

Leave this alone and lift them up to God. And go ahead with prayers. This is the best way to cure those emotional problems or family conflicts. Don't worry. God is always there, always ready. Just ask Him. And seek Him all through your days.

Yes I know this sounds kinda corny. But it is actually what others need in the very end of time. Don't let regrets come on your way on the end of time. Time is gold. You never knew when will your dad go.

hope that helps! :)
