My bio-dad wasn't around at all, there was no step dad either. My mom was single forever after him.


I'm often envious of people whose dads weren't there, or were good dads. I know that sounds horrible, but...sometimes they're better not being in your life than being...well.

Well he was around until I was like 8 or 9, then him and mom would break up and get back together for a couple years. I don't think I saw him at all from like age 12 - 18.

Yeah glad they broke it off. He was abusive back then.
....now he's a harmless old man who I barely have a relationship with. He texts me every once in a while but thats about it.

Understandable, completely. I have a horrible, fractured relationship with my dad and sadly I know him far better than I ever wanted to. Terrible human being, probably the reason I'm so disgusted in my own self.
 
Yeah, and he really piled it on, too. He was a total bigot, as well, hated everyone, he treated my mum and my sisters like crap, but I was his pride and joy, his boy! I ate it up as a child, because what did I know? I look back and I wish I could beat myself up for that. I let him treat my sisters like crap because that's just who he was. Awful person, and so was/am I.

You're not an awful person. :hug:

I suppose one day he'll just be a memory. So you can look forward to that.

I am, though.

That's what I look forward to, as terrible as it sounds. He's the reason I have to live a double-life, I'm me everywhere but around him. Can't wait for the day I don't have to be here anymore and I can sever that relationship.
 
because they see an adult who can't ground them or give them detention
*looks around* Serafin, paging Serafin.... :LOL:
 
Well I am off to go see Strange World with my kid. Be back later.


Enjoy; we'll keep things running for you!

*moments later* Okay, @PGen98, follow me to the Admin Office and we'll lock Nebby out while he's out.... :LOL: :P :LOL:
