So my parents got divorced 5 or so years ago, but my parents still aren't doing well, my dad especially. He is very depressed and most of the time he feels as if we-my siblings and I-don't love him. But we do! When also switch between my two parents houses and usually when we leave and/or get back to my dad's house he's very sad. I just really need help on how my siblings and I can help him. He is always saying how we hate him or how we are better off at my mom's house. I feel terrible and sad when he does this because I love my dad very much. But yesterday was thanksgiving and we didn't call my dad because the family at my mom's house 1. Hate my dad and are always talking bad and 2. My grandma was always being difficult and if we started talking during the movie again I'm sure she would've thrown a fit. But the movie was long and by the time we finished it was too late to call my dad. I am just feeling really bad that we couldn't call him and that he feels like we don't love him. So, what should my siblings and I do to show my dad we love him.

Call him and talk to him. Ask about his day. Does he know how to text? Maybe teach him and then you can send him funny photos. My parents actually went through something Similar. my older brother and I would hear my dad say stuff like you guys don’t love me or you’d rather be with her. You are just going to go. I came to the point (I was 16) I told him and my mom. I didn’t want to choose. Whatever has happened between you two that has nothing to do with me. I said I really think you should enjoy the time we have together. It’s like nobody wants to always be around someone who is always being negative or pitty. Sure talk about your feelings but we all have them. After all we can’t beat ourselves up. it can’t just all go one way. Parents understand this and sometimes they let things get in the way. You shouldn’t have to feel bad cause that’s not fair. They choose divorce then make you feel guilty. I’m not sure how old you guys are now but take him to a golf course or out to a nice trail walk, show him how to use Facebook, show him a new show On tv or buy a deck of uno, have a few beers or anything non alcoholic- and be real with him and tell him how you feel and that you’re sorry you were busy and you weren’t thinking.
P.s if it’s really bad depression maybe it’s time he gets some professional help. Theres nothing wrong with it. If he has insurance or can afford it he should seek out a therapist.
ReplyCall him and talk to him and make him realized that you love him very much Cause your father is just only one you need to love and make him proud of you if thought you two are seperated . Always make a way to do what you want
