    Hello...

    Since you are on this site I will assume you are at least 13 years of age (given that is what you have to agree to when you sign up).

    Since you are 13 years of age or better I think you are at an appropriate age to ASK you father why he needs to work out of town. Tell him how you feel about his absence and see how he reacts to being confronted.

    You are very close to being considered an adult for many things, time to buck up and confront your parent about your feelings instead of just talking about it on an anonymous website.

    My 2 cents.

    You have to get your parents together and talk this over. I do not know why your father is working away from home. But I can say one thing: the answer is rarely anything to do with the children. It is more likely to do with himself or your mum.

    My dad was a truck driver for 20 years and it would keep him gone for weeks at a time. I used to think he just didn't like being home with us. But honestly he was addicted to the money. Truck drivers or people who go on business trips are, most of the time, going to get paid more than people who stay in town. My dad always thought that when he would come home he could substitute a loving and understanding relationship with extravagent gifts, a nice house, nice furniature.. all that junk. I think you should just tell your dad that you love him and you would really like to find a way to make your relationship work and to spend more time together when he's at home. And if it's about the money for him.. just let him know that you'd much rather prefer a relationship with him than having alot of material things... he probably won't stay at home but he'll always know that and keep that with him.
