Did you have a dad that could say "I love you" to you?

Did your dad say "I love you," when you were growing up?

To be honest, mine did, but he was so much like the examples in these songs [i]lyrics [/i]especially when I was in my teens and there were many many times when an "I love you" would have been the best thing he could have done for me.

🎵For the longest time, I guess I thought
He didn't give a damn
Hard to read, hard to please
Yeah, that was my old man 🎵

😂 😂 😂

🎵I try to make him proud of me
But my mistakes was all he'd see
It always seems so hard to please the rock🎵

So question did your dad say "I love you" or did he never utter those words or he did just not enough?

I had a dad who could say he loved me probably because he had one who never did. Same with my mom. My mom told me she loved me every single day. to the point that it was so ingenuine that it meant nothing to me. Same with my dad, though he saw me 4 or 5 times a year. He told me he loved me everytime. You know.. he had to travel a whole 3 miles to see me. over paved roads with a well running vehicle.
Now had they acted like they actually liked me, now that would ahve been something!

@Discombobulatedbunny: Sometimes actions certainly speak louder than words.

@hami1091: Exactly. But in all reality, they had a hard time growing up. Probably a lot harder than I did. They tried to do what they thought they had needed growing up. They just forgot that treating me like I was a burden was pretty much like not loving me. My dad likes me ...but my mom? I'm not sure she knows I know. I think she thinks shes really good at hiding those thoughts.
At least they tried.
