Why doesn't my dad love me?

Question

y doesn't he?

he spends all his time with my brother

LONG STORY SHORT:

my parents are getting a divorce and my brother loves my mom better but my dad loves him too, my brother only lives with my dad because my dad buys him expensive stuff and my mom don't, my dad is fully aware that my brother is using him, and my dad is trying to buy his love.

but y does he have to take love away from me?

he hangs with my brother 24/7 and yes i have asked him about it and he says he hangs out with me more [my friend and cousin live with me and they both see him with my brother more]

so my question is why doesn't he love me like he used too? and what can i make him do to love me?

Answer 1

Maybe he just is so angry at your mom that he doesnt want to hang with any girls?

Or he is playing favorites!

Either way it sucks.

Same situation as me kind of.

Answer 2

My dad does the same thing, but I kinda figured it's cause guys just rather be around other guys? I'm sure your dad loves you though.

Answer 3

i have a friend that has that same situation but with her brother and her mom. they might be different stories because her brother is one of the rude popular guys who thinks theyre better than everyone and thats how her mom used to be. but shes not like that at all. and i think that the mom is just trying to buy his love but he just takes advantage of her and now shes trying to send him to his dads but hes obviously afraid that there will be more rules. your dad does love you, hes just having trouble with your brother. just dont turn into your brother and take advantage of him.

Answer 4

Divorce is hard for children and your Dad DOES love you, he just wants his son to love him as much as you do, I bet if your brother loved your Dad then your Dad would spend more time with you! Just because he spends more time with your brother and not with you DOESN'T mean he doesn't love you, he want your brother to love him the same way you do, epecially since he is divorcing your mom.

Answer 5

Your father does love you - it's kind of a required thing of fathers. Dads spend more time with sons typically because they have more in common. If it bothers you so much that you don't get all of his attention, try forcing it. Be around him more... include yourself in the things he does. It may be because you're getting older and he doesn't relate to you like you want him to. Regardless... he's your Dad and he DOES love you.
