I just... I just want a real relationship with my daughter. She's never really let me in, you know? I mean, I get that teenagers put up barriers and want their independence, and I know I'm not always home because of work, but she can't hate me her whole life, can she? I'm not a bad father. Never hit her, never raised my voice. It's not my fault I have to work long hours. And it's just like, I don't get her. Her music, her clothes, I just don't get it. Two different worlds. I just want her to share it with me. Just tell me what she's into these days, you know? Just for a little bit, let her dad into her life. I don't want to wake up one day and my little girl is gone and we never even talked to each other, like really talked. I just wish I knew how to tell her.
