My father and mother have always been there for me. I've been REALLY sick and they were always there. I love them both very much, and I have told my mom I love her. However, I just can't say it to my dad, even though I wanna. It would just be too awkward and embarrasing. Besides, I know he knows it. Yet, I feel I should tell him, because I'll probably regret it if I don't. He's even told me he loved me once, and all I could say back was that it was good to hear. What an asshole I am. I wanna say it, but I just can't. Is this normal and how should I deal with it?

    He's your father... If you think its "gay" then thats low of you. Who gives a fuck if someone else judges you (if that is the problem). Tell him how you feel.

    I have the same problem ! You should tell him but not randomly. Be like ''thanks dad i love'' you when he does something for you or something .

    Same with me. I can't express any emotion around them, really. It makes me feel to awckward, even through they're super loving with me.

    Must be a male, just try saying it some time, see how it feels.

    If you're finding it difficult, maybe wait until his birthday or special occasion and write it on the tag or card? Just a suggestion, I'm sure you'll get there :)

    Give him a thank you note and say "I love you dad" in it.
