Yay! Father issues!

Its all to easy to be sitting in front of a pc while bored and cyberstalk someone, and once you have gone there its impossible to go back. I doubt he did it to gain ammunition against you, but sometimes once that information is in your head it can come out of one another's mouths at times of stress.

Through most of my childhood my father was almost a stranger to me, but the older I got (31 now) the closer we got and presently we are close. If you feel like distance will do you good, then fine, but always try to leave the door open to him.
 
I think it's rather sad that you are posting here about this rather than speaking to him.
Grow up and grow a pair.
 
He might just be a douche, you don't have to like your dad, if he's a time wasting argumentative emotional cripple why bother.

But your reaction to someone (omg) reading what you posted on a public forum suggests you've inheritied a little bit of the mental gene too. Watch out for that, like father like son.
 
I didn't spy.

I put the letter "S" into the firefox address bar and seeing how the username I use on one of my forum accounts starts with "S" it brought up that he had been looking at my profile, threads, etc.

Not having a mental moment. It doesn't bothered me too much. It just seemed a little bit creepy :o.

I wish that he thought like that, really I do, but I doubt.

He stone walls each and every attempt I make to get him involved. Spouting some "I don't like cars" nonsense. I don't like football, but I'd fane interest if it would bring us closer together :(.

Oh, and he told me today that he "Doesn't like me, but loves me because he has to" :eek: :rolleyes: :( :D

Listen being a dad is a thankless task, my son is an arse but i do love him, what you gonna do?

Cut him some slack, iv had murders with my son over the years, you just have to make the best of it.

Do the reverse of what i do, i post things on here that i hope he reads, because sometimes its easier than saying it, try doing the same and point your dad this way. Or better still go and have it out with him if you can face another row, if not try what i just said.
 
He is your father afterall. I think he regrets for not spending time with you when you were younger.

I could understand where he is coming from, especially with him been the father, it's hard to take one step back from his own son when there are confrontation. I don't know how usually you two would get into arguments with each other but I have to say, OP, grow up and start sort out your relationship with him, or you'll regret it when he's not here anymore.
 
Sounds like some of the people responding have more problems with their parents than you do by their comments.

I think you are over reacting. To an outsider it just looks like he is trying to find out a little more about you. If he was reading your emails then that would be a little weird but its a public forum.

Maybe you should have a proper talk and you might find that you have something else in common with him. Just because he doesnt like cars doesnt mean he is a rubbish father.

If he is reading your posts then maybe you should talk to him about it and ask him personally before he reads this thread and gets offended by it.
