I ’m a 21-year-old female, a few months ago my father left Mom and me.
Since then I’ve been feeling really angry and sometimes sad. Lately I’ve also been fighting a lot with my boyfriend. I used to be carefree and I still want to be. Please tell me what I should do to make myself happier.
I suppose that your fathers intention was to leave your mother but not you. Contact your father and tell him that you need him. Suggest that you meet once a week or once a month to go for a walk, eat at a restaurant, go to the cinema, etc. Ask him to listen to you and express your feelings without being nasty to him. Also try to understand his point of view.
