That's hard. I understand though, my mom and dad separated when I one year old. My mom and dad never got along, and its been really hard dealing with trusting guys, or just dealing with things/people in general. Its hard, and there is no cut and paste answer.
I don't know how you feel about God, but this is just my experience. God has tested me with my parents and helped me have a peace, and helped me forgive those who hurt me. Dads are such a big part of a girls life. When you don't have your dad it hurts, it hurts when you lose him, and it hurts when he is there but still out of reach.
If there is one thing I learned is that you can't change people. The problem that I found wasn't so much my needing to change other people. There was a problem with me, and problem with my dad, and everything in our relationship. I knew it. But I had no idea how to fix it. So I prayed, I prayed and found peace, I prayed and talk everything out with God. I found Love in someone so caring and amazing, that he not only saved me from my problems, but helped me change, and my family change. It was so amazing and so relieving to not place my trust in myself and my decisions that often don't do any good. It was wonderful knowing that God has a hand in my life, and that he already planned to bless me.
My dad apologized to me this past week, you might not understand how unlikely that was, but my dad had been dating/living with (and the whole shebang) this horrible woman, who was abusive emotionally, physically and mentally disturbed. I ended up having to call the cops on them, and after everything was said and done, he choose this woman over me. But this past week he told me he was sorry, and that if he had to do it all over again, he would have chosen me. There is a whole lot more to the story, but I have to tell you that everything good that came from that situation came from God.
This might not be what you are looking for, but maybe it will help. If you have any questions that I might be able to help with please ask? Or if you just need someone to vent to- let me know. You are in a tough situation, and I will be praying for you.
