Communication issues?
Hey, so recently I’ve been feeling sad for things going on with my dad, and tonight I was a little sad, and I usually keep it to myself but I just wanted someone to talk to, and so I told him I was sad and he didn’t ask why just said sorry it’s okay, so I bursted out in tears and said, I just want somebody to talk to! Can you please just lend an ear. So he finally asks what’s wrong after I basically tell him what to say and I tell him, and he stays silent, so of course I start crying more, and I just say ok well goodnight bc he hasent said anything and I just ended the call bc I felt like I wasent being listened to. So I text him and he sends me messages like this

So how do I helo him understand that I just want someone to talk to and give me support and positive reinforcement, because he used to but I don’t know what happend. Opinions??
