The situation with my father is a really complicated one. My parents are no longer together and my dad lives out of the country. So the situation with him and my mom has been really difficult. He won't come to visit us, because my mother says he's not allowed to sleep at our house. It's her house, so I guess she can decide who gets to stay there. But I feel like if he wanted to see us, he'd come anyway even if he has to stay at a hotel. It's been almost two years since I last seen him and until last night it had been a year since we spoke on the phone. He doesn't call us, or seems even remotely interested in what we do.

I graduated high school a year ago, and even though my mom told him about my high school graduation he didn't bother to show up or call me. He doesn't know anything about me, nor is he interested.

Sometimes, I feel like my mother puts me in the middle of their drama, because she always tells me if I ever take money or anything from him, then she wants nothing to do with me. It gets so frustrating because I feel like I'm being pulled in all kinds of directions. :crazy:

So anyway last night he called me and had the nerve to ask me why I never call him. I told him the phone works both ways and he could have called me if he wished to speak to me. I told him if he cared he wouldn't wait for me to call him, he'd call me because that's what parents do. He asks like I'm to blame for everything that's wrong with our relationship as if he does nothing wrong. :blue:

I swear sometimes I just want to get away from them both, and it's exactly what I'm going to do once I get a car and in the coming months. I already have an apartment and I'll be moving to Orlando in a few weeks to get settled in. :wink:
