Hi. I've always been close to my dad and looked up to him as a superman. He lives 400 miles away from and was diagnosed with PTSD this year after having horrific flashbacks of being assaulted as a child. I've been trying my best to be there for him and visit him. At the moment however he is abroad so it is difficult to keep in contact with him, what he went through and what he is going through now is always there at the back of my mind and I'm often full of worry for him. It's hard to talk to him when he is so far away.

I still look up to look up to him and he still is my super daddy. I'm really proud of how much he has accomplished and he is still the strongest person I know, though that still doesn't stop me from worrying about him.
 
You are so lucky to have such a good relationship with your dad. I cannot imagine how that feels. I just think you are so lucky. To be so close to him. This must be an awesome experience. I hope he gets the help he needs. Good luck.
 
Thank you it's nice to hear some kind words and to be able to be open. Good luck to you too. I spoke to him the other day since he left, he's now in the middle of nowhere up some mountains with my step mum and he seems to be feeling a bit better for it :)
 
Welcome to the forum, CBP.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad, but I'm glad that you are so willing to be supportive and understanding of him. I think you will find lots of great support on this forum too.

Hope to hear more from you :-)
