I kinda had the same thing. My father would be 86 by now. He died 10 years ago. I didn't get the I love you's. No I am proud of you either. He never hugged me. He worked long hours. It took me as an adult to go to initiate the hugs and telling him I loved him. The last 5 years of his life he learned to hug me. The love you words still were non-existent. But I contributed that to the times that he was raised in. I new he loved me after I started the whole thing. I could see it in his face.
Is it normal to hate my father
