Should I forgive my dad who clearly doesnt care about me?
Replies: This question has 2 responses
06/12/2011 : My mum and dad have been split up ever since i was really really young. I used to see him probably once every 2 months however last year we got really close to the point where i was seeing him every week, but then my sister and him had a stupid argument around june 2010 because he stopped seeing us quite so much but then he completely stopped speaking to us. In september he then stopped my child benefits and claimed that he wasnt working even though we knew that he was because of facebook. I text him at christmas but got no reply.
He text me once around jan / feb but i said i couldnt forgive him quite yet but then he stopped speaking again. In november he contacted me through the internet simply saying "hi" then when i asked why he hadnt spoken to me for almost a year and a half he started having a go at me saying it was the second time he had tried to speak to me and the second time i had let him down. I cant bring myself to forgive him and although i hate him, i really do miss having a dad. My mum is really supportive and almost acts as my dad aswell but i can tell that if i was ever to forgive him it would hurt her because of the amount she has given up for me and the effort she has put in raising me by herself.
Am i wrong to not forgive him? please help :(

02/04/2011 : I'm 19, I go to university and I'm the second oldest of 3 siblings. I'm male and although I get along with my older sister I'm really starting to hate my little sister. First of all, my little sister is allergic to gluten and she has post viral fatigue. I realise how frustrating this can be for her, but she lashes out at people, particularly my suffering mother who works hard for her, all the time. She even criticised the idea of celebrities doing charity just because of the fact that they have more resources to do so.
Secondly, she NEVER listens to anybody else's opinions. Once she gets in a mood it doesn't matter what you say. It will either be interpretted as an unfair and direct challenge to her (even if it's just your personal opinion and it contrasts with hers) but she will start shouting about it. If someone, god forbid, takes your side, she will scream and go to her room. Thirdly, she is completely oblivious to how her actions hurt people who are trying to help her, particularly my mum who has been a saint in trying to care for her.
Once, I asked her to calm down and she simply responded by yelling 'I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE UPSET' and slamming the door in my face. This was whilst my mum was nearly in tears. Just to clarify, in this example my mother and I were mediators - the 'offender' wasn't around yet my sister still took it upon herself to yell at us. She does this with virtually no tact. At one point my sister's new boyfriend was visiting for the first time and she still made a fiasco of things. It really doesn't matter if she's wrong or right.
This is really giving me issues of anger. It frustrates me greatly and at times I'll just feel this inward facing hatred and pressue which I don't know what to do with. I'm seeking counselling over these feelings but I just cannot stand the way she treats people, especially my mum. Again, I realise the effect that her illness is having. Also, she isn't a small child - she's 16. She just spends so much time laying into people who have been trying to help her. I literally cannot stand her most of the time and sometimes I hesitate to come home from UNI when I get the chance.
Sometimes I just think someone should gag her so she can hear what everyone else thinks of her behaviour. Does anyone have any advice on approaching her or dealing with this anger?
What should I do?

29/11/2010 : Ok so my dads a hypocrite. If I do one thing wring he's on my case or even if I don't do something I get the blame I'm an only child. So the other day my dad says turn off the light when you go upstairs so when I go upstairs I turn off the light and my mum obviously turns it on again to go upstairs and I get the blame and a two hour lecture on electricty, light bulbs, enviroment, money everything. So him being a hypocrite does everythnig he tells me not to. For example I went to get some food 1 hr away from dinner he says don't eat anything dinner soon so 20 mins later go downstairs and he's munching on everything he could find so I ask him about it and his awnser was because I can.
Also I'm not paticually bright and I'm only getting d's and e's and he has said that he will take me to new York city if I get c's and above but no matter the amount of revision I do he always sais it is not good enough and he then gives me lectures about it. Also he buys me lots of stuff I don't want and also all I have ever wanted is a dig and a trip to new York city instead I have a huge tv and every concole going which I don't want. Also every time I say like make a sound while moving around the house he takes my phone my Internet and all my other stuff away it's ridiculas and I don't want it anymore.
What should I do ?
