I feel like my sister's dad treats me like a kid. When I was that very thing--and without a father--I invited myself into his family. Maybe my memory before that point is false, but I don't _think_ he really gave me a lot of attention when picking up or dropping off my sister. Well, I stayed over at his family's house with my sister for a week or two, in 2004. Once in the summer, the other in November. It's possible I asked my mom if I could when my sister was going. Maybe she discussed it with her ex and his wife? I bet you a million dollars a request of mine was involved in the arrangements. I even wrote them a letter as a teen (in 2013) because I missed them. Well, when I reunited with the dad in 2015 for my sister's college graduation and her wedding in 2019, I felt like he was a little too interactive with me. All peppy, with an "I'm-a-big-fan-of-John" attitude. It was actually kind of annoying. At my sister's wedding, he commented how good the food looked in line, compared our heights when the conversation about mine came up, and fist-bumped me about some funny joke I must've made? My memory is vague, which is why I don't remember much of this context: apparently at some point, I gave the impression that I doubted myself, and he gave me a sentimental speech about confidence, even said I was amazing.

Now that's where the issue lies. I feel like every time I saw him, he would be too kind to me. I wonder if he was just embellishing his admiration of me. I tried to be close to him and his family and maybe he was giving me too much "fatherly" affection in response. But maybe because he felt like he had to? If that's the case, I don't want it. I deserve some respect from the guy. I'm not a kid anymore, and I wasn't the last time I saw him.
