I hope it doesn’t lead to any guilt or resentment in the future. Wow this is very familiar. My father also grew up in the Soviet Union and lost his father at a young age. He connected with my brother’s through sports, but always seemed distant from me. Life is like is riding a bicycle map poster. We fought a lot. My parents divorced when I was 18, and I was angry at him, and I didn’t answer his calls for months. Since then he has become a great father. It sounds like he is really trying. But what’s so moving in your story is the fact that you are overlooking and understanding where it was that he came from and you forgave him. You are a special human being and I consider myself blessed to have heard about your beautiful spirit.

Families are complicated. I admire anyone who has the willingness to change, even if their ability to do so isn’t always high. I admire you even more, for knowing your father and for being patient and for loving him just the way he is. Life is like is riding a bicycle map poster. I would have killed to have had a father like your dad, and am grateful for the son I’ve got. Thank you for remanding me of that. This is beautiful. Your father meets you where he can, albeit not in the most communicative or preferable of ways. But coming from someone with a father who is readily accessible, and my only parent left on earth- it is heartwarming to see a father trying. My dad doesn’t try.
