It might be insecurity. i constantly need to be told im doing a good job, a pat on the back at work, i have always needed female companionship since i was about 17 and now im 26, ive had about 8 relationships since 17 going from one to the other. it might just be you need someone to constantly show you attention, or be centre of attention. to feel really important, like your being here isnt a waste of time, a fulfilment that other people can fill a void. - written 8 months, 2 weeks ago
[quote babacup]I understand. My dad is an alcoholic and even now it is hard to talk to him about stuff like that. And I’m 37. What was your relationship like before he stopped working?[/quote]
when my dad worked his hours were mon-thur 7am-8pm, we used to sit and watch tv together and go do a weekly shop on a friday.. at weekends we used to go to town and have a wander.
since he lost his job he became very quiet, i helped him for a while looking for jobs and taking him to interviews but he was having no luck and started to give up. i couldnt say no lets keep going, i used to just go along with what he said. then he started to stay in alot. he used to constantly ask me to do favours for him, get some food, get this get that… i got fed up of doing things for him as i was working and he was at home all day. now we hardly talk i stay upstairs and he stays downstairs.. - written 8 months, 2 weeks ago
