relationship with Daddy

Tweet

My mom and dad was separated since I was 7 years old. We really have no idea that time that they are separated, though me and my 2 other sisters lived with my mom, and my brother with my dad. We only meet our dad every saturday or sunday at mall. Go out somewhere. Have fun all day. They constantly telling us that the reason why my dad was never sleeping with us again was because, he was working, that he can't leave his work. Lot of positive reasons coming from my mom's mouth. But when I reached 13 years old, my elder sister and I met my dad at mall, and he introduced us to somebody we should call us auntie. Me and my sister are looking at each other, cuz it seems like we have the same questions. When the day ends, and we have to part, as me and my sister was heading home, I asked her, "Who do you think she is? Why do we have to call her as Auntie? Is she our relative? But why she is so close to daddy? Closer than an auntie can be?" My sister just nod. And remained silent. Though my questions that time we're never answered, by observations and sewed stories i found the answers. When my mom died, I have to transfer to my dad's place, because of conflicts on my mom's side. Now I'm 21, graduating from college. Still living with my dad and stepmom whom we used to call as auntie, til now actually. I cant still feel the relationship that Im supposedly feeling with dad. We might see each other but the feeling is different. A bit awkward. I sometimes envy my cousins on my dad's side, cuz they are treated by my dad like sons and daughters. Despite of all that, he is trying to be close to us (his real son and daughters). Even us , we're trying. But I just figure out why the feeling of being parted is still there. We seldomly talk about each others life. Most of the time never. Cuz he can't understand. Its like sometimes, though how happy and glad we're telling him about what we did, he's not that glad about us. Now, I feel like I'm always looking for somebody. Somebody that I don't know where to find. I'm looking for a nice guy in my life who'll listen to me, but I'm not looking for a boyfriend. Or maybe I am. (???) Have you ever felt the same way too? Feels like something is missing? Feeling of longingness with your dad though he's there? God can fill those spaces. Yes. I love my daddy. And I thank God for giving him to me. How's your relationship with your dads too? Share your stories. Can you also help me about this matter? On how am I going to feel better with my dad?
