@Cindy Huang I can feel how much you love your dad, and how much you wish you could be more patient with him. But perhaps, deep inside, there is still a little girl who has been waiting for her father to see her, value her, and love her just as she is. Maybe it's not really about your brother. It's about that feeling of never being enough, no matter how hard you try. And perhaps, every time that old feeling gets triggered, you find yourself reacting not only to your aging father, but also to the pain you've carried for so many years. Here's something I would invite you to explore: If you no longer needed to prove your worth to your father, how would you want to love him? You can love your dad and still feel hurt by him. Both feelings can exist. And maybe the journey isn't about forcing yourself to be more patient. It's about learning to see your own worth, even when your father cannot fully recognize it.
