妈妈去世不到三个月,爸爸就找了新的女伴。之后除了和我要生活费以外完全不关心我了。我已经不能像从前那样对爸爸好,我该怎么办?

Dear User,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Losing a parent can be an incredibly difficult and painful experience, and it's understandable that you are struggling with your father's behavior. It's natural to want support and care from those closest to us during times of grief, and it sounds like you are feeling neglected and abandoned by your father.
From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to recognize that our relationships with others are impermanent and constantly changing. We cannot control the actions of others, but we can control our own reactions and responses. It's important to practice compassion and understanding towards your father, but also towards yourself. It's okay to feel hurt and angry, but holding onto those emotions will only bring more suffering.
From a psychological perspective, it's important to communicate your feelings and needs to your father. He may not realize the impact his actions are having on you, and it's possible that he is struggling with his own grief and trying to cope in his own way. It may be helpful to have an open and honest conversation with him about how you are feeling and what you need from him in terms of support and connection.
As a coach, I would advise you to focus on self-care and building a support system outside of your relationship with your father. Lean on friends, family, or a therapist for emotional support. Practice self-compassion and find ways to take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Remember that your worth and value as a person are not determined by your father's actions.
