I'm sure it makes you feel bad, it's nice to hear encouraging words from our fathers. We want their attention and praise, it makes us FEEL loved. However, in his mind, working hard, providing for his family and as you say, "giving you everything" is probably how he shows his love for you. Some dads unfortunately aren't affectionate. So, as hard as it is, be thankful of all he does and has done for you and definately be thankful you had your mothers support and nurturing. Hang in there! He does love you!
