He passed away when I was a baby.Was bio-dad not around so much?
Aww, sorry to hear that. RIPHe passed away when I was a baby.
My bio-dad wasn't around at all, there was no step dad either. My mom was single forever after him.
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.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.
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.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.

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.
because you have half his DNA?Terrible human being, probably the reason I'm so disgusted in my own self.
Yeah, and when I was a kid and had no idea who he was, I idolized him, I wanted to make him proud. That always makes me feel horrible, trying to please that man.because you have half his DNA?

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.

I am, though.You're not an awful person.![]()
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.I suppose one day he'll just be a memory. So you can look forward to that.
Not true!I am, though.
It is, I'm not a good person.Not true!![]()
