Tbh idk your relationship or what happened but a father that truly wants to be a father would never make rebuilding a relationship hard or make you feel bad. They would work to try and understand what caused distance in the first place and let rebuild at your own pace. You should never feel bad about trying to reconnect with a parent ❤️

i don’t feel bad about trying, i feel bad about failing. and i know he’s upset. he is trying but it’s just years and years of shit to unpack and a lot of it i’m not ready for and a lot of it will just never be ok. trying not to let the guilt get to me, im honestly surprised i care

Well that’s what I mean. There is no failing. When a parent does things that make their child uncomfortable that’s a consequence that they have to take on. Maybe I’m biased but a parent in this situation at least in my opinion doesn’t really get to be upset ya know. If it’s their fault the relationship was damaged they have to accept that the new relationship might not go exactly how they think it should.
