Sometimes things we are dealing with in the present tend to bring out the past. If you are experiencing a painful relationship right now, it can bring up past rejections, or abandonments. These are perfectly normal feelings of loss. The worst thing you can do is push them down deep inside and try to move on. Talk about them with someone, or get a journal and write down some of this stuff. Something as tramatic as the early loss of a father is a big deal, Dont treat it like a small one. Sorry about your loss and your family's loss.
