Rebuilding Bridges

I just got off the phone with my dad (8:12am) and the question that popped up (in my mind), can a broken father-daughter relationship be fixed? My biggest problem with my father is he doesn't listen! I feel like (in his mind) I'm still this little girl, but I'm not the once innocent baby girl he had. I'm older with a mind of my own, with opinions and a fierce attitude. I think my biggest flaws (I have many) is I have zero patience & I hold onto the pain when someone has hurt me. No I don't hold it against them, I just always remember it. I don't put myself out there to be hurt, and my parent is no exception. These last few years he has hurt me most especially since I was also dealing with the loss of my mom.

On a positive not he claims he wants to move forward and work at building a better relationship. I'm all for it however he as well as myself has to be READY and WILLING to make the necessary changes to make that suggestion into a reality. I for one am actually ready to be a "better" daughter, I'm glad he made the first move. So to answer the question can the relationship be fixed... We shall see.
