((BBD))
I'm like Kitty. I "dump" on my dad when I'm frustrated (and he "dumps" on me). This has always been our situation, and neither of us expects the other to "fix" things.
Look at it this way. You've wanted to hear from him, and you did. He's talking to you about NORMAL life stuff!!! Rents go up, relationships break up....this is life. He's not calling you, asking you for money..he's trying to do things on his own.
I don't think you're detaching too much, I think you may be second-guessing everything he says, thinking there's more to the story, and I understand that, but it's doing no good except getting you upset.
Go back to focusing on you, instead of playing the conversation over and over in your head and wondering if you missed something.
Hugs and prayers!
