...that's basically what my Dad is like to me.

He's always had a problem showing his emotions,

expressing himself, feeling comfortable, etc. Never

really told me that he loved me until maybe 2 years

ago. But he can always crack the jokes, avoid talking

about his feelings or anything else serious.

 

 

anyone have a parent like this?

You're describing most fathers in this world. I think your is much more of a dad than the average.

I think western society has encouraged this over the past few hundred years, still does to a certain extent. Our male children are still taught not to cry, stiff upper lip etc. We are slowly getting better but as a society it may take many more centuries yet.

 

Sometimes people will talk more openly if you start the ball rolling.
