ok well lately I have been having a lot of flashbacks from the past and from where I used to live in ny...my dad lives there still, but I am currently living in PA w. my mom & stepdad, bro, sis. I keep having flashbacks of my dads house and of my dad a lot and sometimes I don't know why I'm having them so I tend to get scared..are these flashbacks normal? is it a sign? does it mean I miss my dad?

Sounds like it may be post traumatic stress disorder to me.

i would say that you miss the life you use to have with your dad. maybe you could go visit him or he could come see you!

My advice to you would be to write the flashbacks down... record what you are remembering. Record what you are feeling.

I have an idea that you can unravel this mystery, yourself, by writing and keeping a record of what you are remembering and feeling...

If, however, you are still confused and mystified, seek out some free counseling in your community. Get a professional person to help you out... don't, please don't rely on Yahoo! answers for this kind of help.

I think you miss your Dad or the house he lives in.

I believe it it your conscious speaking to you.Maybe you do miss your dad If you can keep in contact with him and what you are going through is normal its what we call memories.

It might mean that you miss him or there could be some other stress that's bringing it out. Overall I would probably say it's stress. But that depends on how "real" the flashbacks are and whatnot. If they are very vivid and maybe it seems like you are there, I would definitely tell you that you should find someone to talk to. If you have someone to talk to, that might help. Sometimes just getting things off your chest can destress the situation a whole lot.

I definately think it means you miss your dad. I think it's your minds way of telling you maybe it's time for a phone call or even a visit. It's natural for anyone who is apart from their family. I'm not sure what your relationship is with him but it sounds like there needs to be some bridges mended or something. Give him a call... or maybe talk it over with your mom and siblings first.
Good luck

of course it means you miss your dad.
you keep thinking about him, so call him or something.

maybe go out to see him.
