@recentmusings: One of the hardest things about emotionally distant relationships with parents is that the disconnection usually doesn’t happen overnight. Sometimes it’s years of not feeling emotionally seen, known, understood, or emotionally safe with the people who were supposed to make you feel that way. And eventually, you get tired of being the only one trying to force closeness and connection. #cyclebreaker #dysfunctionalfamily #healing #toxicfamilydynamics #livingalone
Sometimes I wonder how my father feels when people ask about me and he realizes he doesn’t really know my life anymore. And the painful part is, it’s mostly my fault. I got too shy to reach out. I never knew what to say anymore. I hid parts of my life from him, lied about where I was, and slowly became someone he couldn’t understand because I stopped letting him in.

I don’t even know if he still remembers that he actually has a daughter.

sometimes i wonder how my father feels when they asked about me, if I'm gonna graduate this year. I stared at them until he replies, "hindi pa, 5 years kurso nya e" but In reality I was just delayed, and he knows it. Civil engineering was just 4yrs to take. Okay lang naman sakin na sabihing delayed ako. But everytime he lies, I wonder if nahihiya ba syang aminin na ganon. I wonder if tanggap nya na or di nya parin tanggap na yng achiever nyang anak is ganito nalang kasi hindi ko din mabasa sa expression nya

Yung akin nagagawa pang magsalita Ng maganda talaga about me eh pero pag nasa amin nakakaiyak talaga🙁,, his the first man who broke my heart sm. I always cry just because of him. And dahil don naging distant child nako minsanan nalng nakikipag usap, pag nag-uusap namn parang ineexpect Ko na na may masasakit na salita nanamn to mamaya kaya umiiwas nako Kasi kapagod kaya umiyak Ng dahil lng sa Sarili mong ama🙁

I met my father's friend from work and she tells me that my father always says that "pag nakita mo yung nag iisa kong anak na babae maganda yon parang artista" (even I'm not that pretty) my heart melts kasi kahit di sya ganon ka showy in some ways pinaparamdan nya🥹❤️
