Family relationships are always so complicated. At least you've made an effort. I’m so sorry you are missing the closeness you crave. Family relationships are always so complicated.

I'm sorry about your father. Sometimes families are just accidents of DNA. It sounds like your dad loves you, but maybe has a little trouble reconciling his beliefs and the fact that you don't share them. It's tough when the belief system is so dogmatic. But maybe he'll think about how Jesus would respond to you in your father's situation: with love. (Religious disclaimer: I'm atheist, but we can all respect one another, right?)

I think the issues at hand are the issues of your father, and not you.<br/><br/>It's great that you try to reach out, but sad when it's not reciprocated.<br/><br/>Happy Halloween! That sucks, Sarah.

It’s great that you try to reach out, but sad when it’s not reciprocated.

Happy Halloween!

Anonymous, it's so easy to judge anonymously isn't it? Readers like you are why I turned anonymous comments off on my blog. Sarah should think about doing the same.<br/><br/>In no way does her post "diss" her father. She simply and eloquently states her feelings. She never called her father a name or said anything that would case anyone to think differently of her father if they knew him. It's her blog and she can write whatever she feels like.<br/><br/><br/>Sarah, I'm sorry to get all comment happy on you, but anonymous bloggers piss me off. If you aren't man enough to attach a name then get the hell off. Cowardly if you ask me. Don't be ashamed of your feelings, they are real and must be addressed. If writing about them is what you need to do, then do it. Just tell the anonymous jerks to bugger off. This comment is in regards to the comment above me.
