What's Your Relationship With Your Father?

Tweet

My father birthday was 3/3/12 and my mother called me and told me to at least text him Happy Birthday, which I did. My husband told me that I should have at least called him. My father has been rude to be for years and he has called me out of my name. My father has been there financially through my childhood but he has not been there by giving me his time and attention. I never went without because of my mother and my father and I am grateful for that but just stopping by my mother's house staying for a hour once week, is not spending time in my opinion. I know I could have had it worst but I hold resentment towards him because of that. The first time my daddy called me out of name I was in the 7th grade and he called me a h** because I hadn't been calling him lately. My mother called him back and let him he will not talk to me like that and he never did it again until I was over 18. Recently a few months ago he cussed me out and talked bad about my husband. I distanced myself from him. I will always love my father but I can not tolerate the disrespect! My father was only there financially because my mother would tell him if he didn't help her she would put him on child support. What do you think? Should I let this go and try to make amends? What is your relationship with your father?
