My dads behaviour towards me?

Post Reply New Topic

6 years ago when I was 17 my dad was very proud of me and was obsessed with spending time with me. I disliked him being in my face so much at the time and was not very nice too him because of it.

Now in 2013 my dad can't stand too be around me and loses his patience with me very easily. He acts aloof and blanks me out a lot of the time. Tonight I got into an argument with him over his attitude towards me but he just shouted at me and kicked me out of the room.

Maybe he dislikes me cause I am unemployed? I asked him 2 years why he acts cold around me and he said "because you have no emotion"

What do u think of this whole situation? My brother as well who used too adore me has taken somewhat of a disliking towards me in the last 1-2 years as well.

Well repetitive lifestyle can easily bring you into an unintentional pattern of neglect towards others, pseudo-schizoid is the phrase that works for me. you may have successfully pushed them away but then did not moderate your behavior after you got the desired results?

that's sad. the potential for kind and loving feelings is being wasted. is there any chance of family therapy to work out the communications?

Damn. I suggest calling one of those telephone counselling services before this gets worse. They've got NTs on the line who would be able to give you much better advice than what you'd get from me.
