Meghan Markle's relationship with her father Thomas Markle is best described as "estranged," which might have something to do with the fact that he can't stop/won't stop talking about her to the press. And now he's bummed that she's rejecting him, and instead of talking to HER about it, he's talking to the media. Basically, it's a MESS.

While Meghan "cares about" her dad, sources tell Us Weekly that she's terrified he'll exploit her. Fair enough, considering he already told the press all about a private conversation he had with Prince Harry.

Meghan with her mom Doria, who she’s still extremely close to. Unlike Thomas, Doria does not speak to the press.

"Meghan is so upset over Thomas," Us' source says. "She’s upset for a couple of reasons. She doesn’t even know how to communicate with her dad without knowing he won’t exploit her. She lives in fear that he’ll leak their communication. If he’s spoken this much already, why wouldn’t he leak their conversation?"

Sadly, it doesn't look like Meghan will be able to rebuild her relationship with Thomas. "She would like to speak to him, but there is no trust there anymore. And it doesn’t seem like it could ever be rebuilt. The damage is done," the source says. "First, he faked this weird heart attack, which he hasn’t admitted was fake, and now he’s doing all these interviews. She has no other choice but to ignore him."

This is so sad! What do you think...
