re: Anyone else not on speaking terms with a parent?

My father chooses not to be in person with me or my sister. He’ll be polite on the phone but doesn’t want to be around us. I’m pretty sure he’s bipolar. It comes in waves. He’ll love being around us for a few months and then wants nothing to do with us for a longer period of time.

Edit: I hate that all of you are going through some stuff, but it makes me feel better that I’m not the only one.
