But i will try to help. I am sure he loves you because after all you are his daughter. He may not show it but he must love you. it really must be soo hard for you but if he has problems maybe he will get help and come back. at least you get tot still see him. i really dont know what to say i wish u the BEST of luck i am sorry this isnt great advice! hope i helpeddd
karenR answered Sunday July 24 2005, 12:31 pm: You get with whoever is allowed to be there with you and make an effort to see him. He has his problems but he is your dad and you love him regardless, as i"m sure he loves you. When people have the problems he has they do tend to forget birthdays and things like that. It doesn't change his feelings for you though. Hopefully someday he will get his addictions under control. Until then visit him when you want to. If you'd like to learn more about his problems you could join alanon. A very good group for children of alcoholics. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Simply_Jess answered Sunday July 24 2005, 1:35 am: My parents split for awhile this year, the cause was alcoholism with my dad. coming home late every night you know the basics. my dad is one of my best friends so i have an idea of how you're feeling tell your mom that you'd really like to help your dad out and see him more. tell her you understand how she feels with the whole protection situation but just let her know how much you miss him. ask her to set up dates for you guys to see eachother.
craZlilchelC152 answered Saturday July 23 2005, 11:46 pm: wow i*m sorry to hear that, unfortionately there*s not TOO much you can do because of the order thing. but maybe you could try writing him a letter telling him how much you love and miss him and that you*d wish he could come visit you. My dad lives miles beyond miles away and i haven*t seen him in about 5 years but not like that*s important. Also try telling your mom that you really need to see him. good luck sweetie hope it all works out!! <3 <3 chelsea
HERExiSZxADViC3x0O answered Saturday July 23 2005, 11:15 pm: well that`s terrible. call him. talk to him for hours and get to know him. let him know how much you care about him and about your relationship. but he`s your father and i think you should talk to your mom about seeing him a little more. he made a mistake about the alcohol and drugs but im 100% sure he loves you. and if you really love him, you would fight for your relationship. Good Luck <33 [ HERExiSZxADViC3x0O's advice column | Ask HERExiSZxADViC3x0O A Question ]
LilShorty972 answered Saturday July 23 2005, 9:58 pm: I kno what ur going throw. I dont have a good relationship at all. He treats me like a little kid and he doesnt kno anyhting. Every dad loves their kid. just give him a chance to get to kno you. Try to spend time with him or just start talking to him. He loves you dont worry
I hope i helped

HyperactiveMiss answered Saturday July 23 2005, 9:18 pm: Don't listen to anyone that says "He loves you and it's going to be okay!" because how do they really know how YOUR father feels and how do they know everything will be okay? You don't even know if your father loves you, let alone strangers on the internet.
I'm going to be BRUTALLY honest here. You wanted advice right? Don't read on if you don't think you can handle it.
There are TWO perspectives. You must see both and not just the good perspective. It will help you see the truth better and it will keep you from getting your hopes up.
1) Your father may love you, but the drugs and alcohols might be keeping him from actually show that he loves you. Alcohol and drugs can TOTALLY change your actions and judgement. If this is the case you should talk to him. Tell him how you feel and ask him anything that has been on your mind. If he really does care for you he WILL try to stop his bad habits, so try and help him snap back into reality.
2) He might not love you. Think about it. If he did love you why would he have not even visited you in 1 or 2 years? Has he been at LEAST writing letters to you? Hmm. If he really loved you he would at least try to stop being a drug/alcohol addict. Not only is he hurting himself but it's hurting his family.
You may ALWAYS love this man just because he's your father, but if he doesn't love you back or doesn't take the time to visit you or at least do something thoughtful for you he isn't worth it. I know it's hard, but you need to understand that not everyone is able to care for you the way you care for them. And when that happens, you may have to let them go because you will only end up in pain and disappointment.
Don't be sad. I know this is almost IMPOSSIBLE, but at least try. There are other people that love and care for you so much. Don't let one man get you down. If something in your life doesn't work out, you move on and live life! [ HyperactiveMiss's advice column | Ask HyperactiveMiss A Question ]
juneybug6183 answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:59 pm: My oldest daughters (shes 3 )father is the same way. He has a major problem with drugs and it affects how he shows his feelings for his daughter. He loves her, the drugs just have so much control over him that he doesnt show it. I'm sure your father loves you too, but his alcohol and drug problems are probably what affects how he shows you. Don't let it get you down and love him for being your father no matter how bad it gets. If you really want sometime with himthen I would make every effort I could to get it. It may not come easy at first,but you have to show him how much you care and want him to be in your life. Keep your chin up hun.... [ juneybug6183's advice column | Ask juneybug6183 A Question ]
xXsarahlizXx answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:57 pm: he is your dad therefore he loves you even if he deosnt show it.just keep showing that you care. that is so important. tell him you love him every chance you get even if its hard or if he deosnt say it back. he may not know how. nobody might have taught him how to show love when he was growing up so maybe you should try to teach him. but believe me he loves you and one day you'll know
