I just want to be thought about

This is a rant so it’s going to be messy so i apologise

. My family especially my dad who is my only parent never check on me and it’s really hurtful . i make excuses for them like oh they jsut think im strong and doing fine at uni and i like uni so they leave me be . But it’s giving the impression that they don’t care or worry or think about me . my dad messaged me yesterday about ‘you haven’t told me how much money you need this moth ‘ but it’s not about the money I’m grateful he’s giving me money, but I just want him to ask me how I am and show that she cares about me. My housemates parents visit all the time they stay for ages and they go out and have fun and help her , they even sent her a hand written card to say they miss her . It’s just so irritating. i don’t wanna talk to my family about it because my dad not that emotionally available and i don’t want to beg for attention. I don’t want fake attention, i don’t want messages just because i asked for them i want you to think about me . I don’t message them so i feel bad about that but i think it’s just because im holding a grudge a bit . I feel like it’s their job to reach out . Yk ask how i am , im the one who’s away from home and stressed at university
