I think it’s more complex then that. Especially if you’re father hasn’t seen the faults in his behavior/actions and doesn’t care to, or doesn’t want to accept responsibility for the ramifications of said behavior has had on your self esteem, confidence, and life in general. At least for me I’ve always wanted my parents to care about me in more than just a “I pay the bills and put a roof over your head my job here is done” kind of way. Friends can and do deeply hurt each other over the years but there is always room for reconciliation if they apologize or you both are willing to try and work things out and salvage the relationship. With families if there’s no open communication then it’s more of a “I forgive you but not really because I know you’re not sorry and I know I’ll be forced to see you again at a family event I don’t want to go to but I do out of family obligation so I’ll just bite my tongue since I don’t want to cause drama and if I bring it up you won’t care” … or at least that’s how it is for me.
