It can be hard when you don’t live close to your family. Someone always has to travel in order for you to spend time together.
In this story, a disabled woman doesn’t live very close to her dad, and she has to rely on him visiting her. She wishes it weren’t this way because if she wasn’t disabled she would visit him more often than he visits her.
She’s not sure what to do. She just misses her dad.

WIBTAH if i tell my dad that i what to see him more??
I 33f live 1,5 hours with car away from my dad.
I am disabled for 3 years now and cannot really leave my house.
My dad comes to visit (if i am lucky) 2 times a year.
I really miss him, but cannot come to him because of my disabilaty.
She feels jealous.
I asked him mutible times to come visit more, but he always says he is bussy, but when he does come. He always tells me how he visits his steffchilderen. How he visits our family and friends (who i haven’t heard from sinds my disability) and it kinda hurts when he talks so happy about it.
Am i TAH when i get a little bit jealous??
I really want my dad to visit me more often, but i almost feel like he does not want to see me anymore.
I really don’t know what to do and how to ask for more visits anymore.
She’s finding it hard to communicate with her dad.
My father is a bit autistic and i never had any problems with it. But it almost looks like it got way worse. And i don’t know how to talk to him anymore.
His concetration is not with me, but somewhere else.
Even when we talk, he sounds so absant. I don’t kniw what to do or say anymore.
She misses how it used to be with her dad.
When i was young my and my father was in the attic wotking. Whenever i walked upstairs we would play darts or other things.
We did so much togheter and now there is almost nothing.
The one time in the year i am sure he will come is with my birthday, but that is it.
She really misses her dad.
I really wish that i did’nt got disabled.. mayby i could have seen my dad more often then…
He was always such a loving dad.
How do i get that back??

Has she told her dad how she feels? He may not know. Also, it sounds like he is visiting other family too. He may not see them more than he sees her. It might just be that he travels a lot and needs time at home in between.
Let’s see if Reddit has some advice.

Another person offers advice about what to say to her dad.
She needs to tell him how she feels. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with telling him she’d like him to visit more because she really misses him. They don’t live that far apart that it’s completely unreasonable. It’s not like he needs a flight or even a hotel to spend the day with her a few times a year.
Another option could be for her to move closer to her dad. Then it would be even easier for her to see him more often.
