Answers:

I am 44. My father died almost 3 yrs ago. We were closer the last 4 months of his life...yet, when he died there were still unresolved issues. I think about this all the time. THEN, I started to put things together. The distance (not hugging a lot, no real "I love yous", etc) had nothing to do with me. He loved me and showed me the best way he could. He had a terrible childhood, lost 2 sons before he married my mom and had me. (One was premature and one had Spinal Meningitis). You just have to realize thast it was him, not you. Depression is one of the worse things to to go through. (I have been there.) When I was depressed, not even thinking of my children made it better...it's a disease..and it's a personal disease...nothing to do with you. God bless, sweetie..wish I could give you a big hug. {{{{{}}}}}
