My dad was emotionally disconnected too. He would probably be surprised and hurt to even hear that.
It was emotional work to just have a conversation with him. I have no doubt it was because he had a crippled arm from having polio as a child. He told me that absolutely no one ever made fun of him. It must have been a much kinder gentler time. But he was very guarded and had emotional walls up.
I love him and miss him.
