Question
I'm writing to let you know about my concerns about recent communication difficulties with my father.
As he's aged, my dad has become increasingly distant and hostile. Despite my efforts to connect, he refuses my calls and accuses me of being a "web hacker". When I tried to speak with our mother recently, he responded with hurtful cursing.
I care deeply about my parents, but my dad's behavior has left me hurt and unsure of what to do next. Any advice or support you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're having with your dad. I lost my father recently, and it made me realize how important it is to cherish the time we have with our parents. Even if your relationship isn't perfect, reaching out and trying to understand him could make a big difference. Consider getting help from a counselor or mediator to improve communication. Remember, you're doing your best. God speed!
