My Dad is pushing me and my little brother away.

About a half a year ago my dad found out he had another son. I’m 15 and my half brother is 17. Well, since dad lost 17 years of my brothers life. Like.. you know.. Dad wasn’t there for him those 17 years and he feels guilty because he didn’t know he was his son.

Dad is now giving him more attention and buying him things and just trying to make up for the years he lost. He takes him places out of state.

I understand why BUT he’s pushing me and my little brother away.

Not giving us attention ignoring us and its just really hard :(

I think we need family consuling because my mom and dad are splitting up and our family is tearing apart.

:(

Answer #1

Communicate - make sure he knows your heart - in person or note - do the best you can to support all involved - Family - hope a positive solution is found…I wish you the best !!

Answer #2

you and little bro team up and ask mom and dad together for family counciling. sometimes parents are hard of hearing when it comes to kid requests, but if you both team up and ask maturely, they may go for it. as far as your parents splitting up, you have no control over that. it must be terribly hard to go through. try to remember that you will be a stronger person in the long run.

Answer #3

Hmmm well I mean I understand that he wants to be with his son since he’s missed outso much but he should also think about yall I mean especially if there spliting apart cause of this and should’t yall get a chance at being with him to I mean yes its hisa son but he’s also yall brother. Well I hope things get better for yall :( and don’t frown its sad yes but be optimistic at all times :)

Answer #4

what you should do is egnore him back.when he calls dont anser when hes around you ingore him.dont go anywhere w/ him.he will see how much it hurts and how it hurts you and then he will start treating you beter.I did this to my dad and it worked.this will be a hard thing to do but its so worth it.

Answer #5

Sit your dad down and your mom and brother if he old enough to understand, and then tell him how you all feel. He’s not really WANTING to push you away but he is trying to make up the years he lost with his son, bt he should try to involve you too. and Every once in awhile give each of you a day just you and him. I am realated to 3 people and thats what my parents do and maybe we have our up’s and downs but we all still get equal attention. Just talk to him and tell him you feel like hes pushing you and your bro. away.
