Okey this is the deal, in short my father is really mad at me, lik not teenage-mad but mad as in hasn't-spoken-to-me-in-3-months mad. Won't even look at me. Talk to me or even about me. And don't tell me to communicate with him because in my culture things don't work that way,trust me..you have no idea. Now the thing is, his birthay is coming up..and what do I do? I don't even know if he'll accept a gift from me, and if he does - what do I even give him? And when I give it to him, what do I say? "Happy birthday dad, love you, *hug*, hope you dont feel like killing me anymore" (?) Any advice - PLEASE??
so basically:
question #1) What do I get him?
question #2) How do I act?
By the way, I'm 15 and female. And I have no other family member that I can talk to or that can help me (again, its my culture!) so thank you for advice on how to deal - because I REALLY can not "communicate" so don't suggest that one. And I can't appolgize either. So just "what do I buy?" and "what do I do when I give it to him?"
Thaank you ♥ (link)

Just to reiterate smcheerleadingx's advice which i think is pretty awesome. Something like a scrapbook that you've put a lot of effort into will mean much more than anything bought and show how much you care without either of you having to talk. I made my dad a scrapbook of the two of us in photos together from when i was a baby to present day and he cried lol. Hopefully something like that will remind your dad that your relationship is worth holding onto no matter what's happened.
Try to leave it somewhere where he will find it when he's on his own so he is free to actually get a bit sentimental instead of having to put on a big angry man-of-the-house act to save his pride (aren't men terrible for that? :)).
Best of luck, let me know how it goes x
