 If it's about, hey, I need him, this is going to be my avenue for him to be proud of me finally, have that conversation with him. Ask him directly, Daddy, are you proud of me? Or do you think I'm doing a good job as a young adult? Let him have that conversation, but don't use this as a proxy, otherwise you're going to make yourself bonkers doing that. And please, really, don't expect for you to be the solution.
