i’m a 22 year old guy and my dad is an accountant. he is all about making money, and seems to have forgotten about his children.
all was seemingly “fine” with me and my dad; i was going to college like he wanted, until one day i realized i was naive and i quit college.
he isn’t following his dreams, and he didn’t want me to either.
anyways, i am currently working, living at home for the past 2 years, and he doesn’t have any consistent communication with me.
his father was an alcoholic and was never around, so i don’t know if that plays into it, but he’s a horrible father when it comes to building relationships with your sons.
we never talk about personal stuff ever; he has never been there for me EVER to discuss real issues in life… he just doesn’t show real interest in my life.
i am currently struggling to follow my dreams and find my niche in life, and it seems like he won’t help me out because he never followed his dreams..
almost like he’s secretly rooting for my failure because he knows deep down that he has wasted his entire life.
it’s almost like he’d rather worship his job and money, then have a authentic relationship with his kids.
his whole life seems built on his pride..
thoughts?

Well, maybe he “has never been there for you” because no one was there for him, rooting for his success… (according to what I suppose). What if he does show interest but doesn’t know how to help you out? What if he doesn’t talk about personal stuff because he has no idea what to say or is afraid of being “wrong” or “making things worse”? What if he thinks the only thing he can do right is make money and that’s why he rather focus on that than on anything else?….
How can you expect him to have “an authentic relationship with his kids” if he never experienced it, if he never knew what that’s like?
I mean… I really have no idea of how your father is, or about his past, or why he does what he does… but these are MY thoughts… (according to what you said in the description)..
Hopefully I somehow helped..
