am I supposed to be the one who always starts the conversations? I mean yeah, he's busy and he has other things and people he needs to worry about but when I always start the convos, it feels like I'm needy. I mean, he does text me once in a while on my birthdays and stuff but that's mostly it. I don't want to shame him for being an absent dad and I don't want to shame him for having another family and I'm not trying to act clingy and stuff but is it wrong to feel this way? I mean, he already doesn't speak to my older brother most of the time and I'm his oldest daughter, I feel like once I turn 18 he's not gonna want to even talk to me anymore. is this wrong? am I being too clingy?

@totantirft ┆ as someone who’s had to ask myself this question about several family members, you’re 100% not in the wrong. People who care make it work. People who care try. They’re curious. They update. They WANT to know. Having another family/life doesn’t excuse the fact that you’re only relevant on holidays/birthdays. I’m sorry that you even have to wonder this lovely <3 I’d REALLY recommend talking to him because you’ll either get the truth, things will change, or you’ll get more radio silence and that will be your answer.
