Well, today I was feeling kind of sick but didn't think it was much; but it got progressively worse throughout the day and well my dad was working out down stairs I started puking horribly about five times in a row, and they were full blown, after I puke I go tell my dad who's working out I feel horrible and just puked and he says mom will be home in a couple minutes and continues working out leaving me to clean up my own puke which was excruciating almost making me throw up again. Main question is, is it normal for my dad to ignore me n this situation?

Is It Normal?

    I hate your father. And i hate mine too. Same old shit. I dont know why dads suck so fucking much.

    My own father, when i hurt my back, Laughed at me, called me a moron, and just went on his merry way.

    I can understand how bad you felt, but I can sympathise with your dad as well, being somewhat emetophobic myself, I would have done the same as him in that sittuation.

    I don't know if you're still around or not because this is such an old post. I hope you are because I want you to know that I'm sorry for my negative comment. I've been rereading some of my older posts and came across this one. I'm ashamed that I wrote something so nasty. You did not deserve that. I've deleted my lousy comment.

    You're dad doesn't seem like the kind of dad I'd want to have as a father.

    I hope you're doing alright now.

    Sounds like Dad is not the main nurturer in the house. However, I'll bet he has some other good qualities that you like. Why don't you enjoy the good qualities he has, and don't demand that he fit your expectations for nurturing? Some people aren't well-springs of sympathy. Maybe instead, he has objectivity and a sense of humor. Maybe he meets your needs in other regards.

    You'll be less disappointed if you rely on his stronger abilities and characteristics. You probably don't want to live your life in terminal disappointment because he never met your demands and expectations. Instead, use his stronger characteristics. Mom might be the sympathetic nurturer, with a knack for saying exactly the right thing, and dad might be the objective realist with a side of creativity.

    Life will be easier if you adjust to people instead of trying to get them adjust to you.

      This was a very smart comment. It may be hard to find good characteristics about people though.

      My father is a nacassistic jerk who literally hates me and my mother..... He treats us like shit and kicks us when we are down.... But at least he provides a roof over our head......... Yeah that is the only thing i can think of...

    I'm not a "Drama queen", I just felt like absolute crap and didn't feel like cleaning up a huge puddle of my own puke.

    Lots of men are like that. When I was little and sick, my dad would plop me on the couch and call my mum and ask her what he had to do. I knew he cared, but men don't like showing it. They also hate not knowing what to do. Don't worry, I think it's normal.
