Laura1318 agony auntThe father daughter relationship is always special.

I cannot blame you for your views on your father.

Maybe, time will tell and heal your wounds .

He tried his best and it is not enough , some day when you get

older, you will understand his love for you.

Laura1318 agony auntIf your mom can accept him back , you could too but you have build too many defensive walls around you .

You need to take down those walls and feel your father's love for you.

Give him a chance and see him from a new perspective.

What ever happened in the past, do not hold any grudge against him.

If you cannot accept him as a father, you can treat him like a friend first.

You feel that way because your mom cannot give you full attentions like before .

Tisha-1 agony auntI think you are still angry with him for leaving in the first place, this is a natural feeling and I think quite normal.

Just give yourself time to accept him back into your life and your family; he loves you and I'm sure wants you to be happy.

Try to remember that he did come back, not all dads do, so think of that as a good thing.

It is possible to love somebody even if you're really really angry with them. And it is certain that your dad loves you even if you're angry at him.

Just be patient, give it time, and hopefully, you'll come to trust him again.
