my dad is sometimes. i never talk to him. he never talks to me. i didn't do anything wrong. i love him but jesus christ, i can't believe he doesn't talk to his own child, i hate patty, that stupid bitch won't let him see any of his kids, she's so jealous of us and she thinks that if he spends time with me then he will want to come back to my mom. i wish they'd get back together. eeeeeeerrr fuck.
of course my dad is an asshole... he has better relationships with complete strangers children and expects his actual offspring to remeidy the horrible relationship with him on their own. As if it was my fault that he was never there for me when he should have and basicaly ruins every chance to bond by being a complete douche.
oh my god, i love you. i'm so glad that i can finally have someone to relate to. there's so many people out there with divorced parents but they are all close to both their parents regardless of the seperation. here i thought i was the only one with an jerk of a father. them bastards.
well its really not a good thing to be able to relate with me. I have divoriced parents, am close to neither. my siblings all have a history of drug abuse. my sister has an alcohol problem, my older brothers a junkie, my little brother has been a pretty big pot head for as long as i can remember... im just glad he graduated high school, Im at least proud of him for that. Im the only one that knows the meaning of moderation and common sense, yet i'm often portrayed as the one with problems... guess thats my fault actualy leaving my home town and going to college. fathers just seem like assholes to me. well... mainly just my own. i actualy have better relationships with my friends fathers which is really a shame.
i get that awful bad feeling when i see other fathers and i wish that my father was more like him. it makes me feel so bad because my dad and i were so close when i was little but now i jus can't figure out for the life me why he does the things he does or treats people the way he treats them, he's a conartist and a mighty brilliant one at that. i feel like shit. i am shit. i miss him.
i personaly despise movies where a father reconnects with his family, children, whatever... happy endings just dont really exist in real life and its always a downer when a movie is over and i think to myself "too bad i dont see myself ever having a decent relationship with my own dad"
yah no shit, that's always sad. it's hard to find a movie where you can relate to the character in that movie to a T. I guess that's why i stopped watching lifetime for woman, it was just too crazy.
yeah, my dad's a total asshole. it's part of his charm. i have no idea how to behave around truly kind, nice people. at least around assholes you can be yourself, because they're not going to like you anyway and you don't have to watch what you say.
hmmm I must be living in some fantasy land, since some people think good relationships with their father dont exist in the real world.... my father was an alcoholic for years, but finally went to AA..... the couple years after AA was kinda strange, he latched on to some kid younger than me. he felt like he needed to help him stay sober, or something.... so, he did all he could to help this kid out, while he ignored all of his sons.... my dad would never take us fishing, or do things like that with us, but he found the time to do so with this kid..... anyways, to make a long story short, he finally realized how much of a belligerant selfish asshole this kid was (which we all tried to tell dad)..... and now they dont speak anymore. the kid moved back to KC and is probably in the ghetto somewhere doin meth.... anyways, I really think I have a great relationship with my father. I can talk to him about anything. he will always do something for me. I was stuck in a rut this summer, and I needed some cash, and he was the one who helped me out, as well... he would bend his back over for any of us kids...
I am fortunate..My daddys the kindest most gentle..soft hearted man Ive ever met...and I love him dearly.
But...there is one wonderfful thing about your father Dani that you overlook....He created a wonderful daughter !!!!
erzebet1961, No doubt your father was the kindest most gentlest soul to ever grace this earth since you are his progeny But I think people on this message are more interested in hearing about the good stuff - like about the angry, frustrated, alcoholic, incestuous father who beat his wife, and physically and mentally abuse his kids - the good stuff :H Hotwater
Oh....Im sorry , Ive got nothing to add to that then since my father hadnt the heart to even raise a hand to me.....
my dad was a very mixed bag of the good and the bad and the worst and the best, just like all of us. actualy he wasn't as bad as a lot of the worst i've heard of people. he was actualy pretty cool mostly. he wasn't a red neck otherwise but he did have an insane prejudice against gays. he also thought wives were supposed to be handmaids (while at the same time bemoaning that he hadn't married one who could bench press him!) he was mostly cool to go camping with and go for long walks in the woods and he did teach me how to walk in such a way as to not scare all the little critters away so we could get a chance to see them. in many ways i'm just as happy to no longer be under his continuing influence and hope also that he is happier wherever his awairness is. my parrents were both 'good people' but their's was a 'merrage made in hell'. what kept them togather for more then 50 years was shere rebelious defience of their parrents who had insisted it would and could never last, who were each prejudiced against the other's ethnicity. well he's long gone and mom's in her late 80s (and i really need to go visit her more often, she's just down the street) =^^= .../\...
