    This image, to me at least, is just depressing. Does anyone have a relationship with their dad like this?

    For me and my dad, it was the opposite. Then I gave up.

    My dad is the typical money obsessed faggot who drinks his scotch after dinner and thinks kids are stupid and anyone poorer than him is unworthy of life. When I was 12, he spent more time hitting on my (female) friends than hanging out with me. Yep, pedo to boot.

    If you can beat that faggot, you'll do fine.

    That was my dad for a while.

    He used to be a meth cook/dealer/user and the shit fried his head. CPS took my brother and I into foster care until my mom finally left him-- and we didn't see him again until I was 12, when he quit. He was still really fucking paranoid. When we'd see him on weekends, he'd ground us for thoughtcrimes he assumed we'd committed during the week, then chop off the cords to all the electronics and smash half the shit in the house when he thought we were "talking about him." CPS barred us from seeing him again for a few years.

    During those years, the way he was acting finally hit him, and he went to therapy and started his life over. By then, I was in high school and didn't trust him any more.. but I'd still get calls from him about 2-3 times a month, asking if I was in town, if I'd heard from my brother, what I wanted for my birthday...

    This went on for about a year before I finally went down to see him for Thanksgiving. He saved up a present for every year he didn't see me, then gave them all to me that day. It was all the things I asked for when I was little.. a rock tumbler, an N64, tons of hot wheels...

    He remarried, has two ungrateful teenage stepkids who walk all over him; he's totally changed. But my brother still won't talk to him. Every time I go over, I see my brother's pile of presents, still neatly lined up in the laundry room. He always asks me if I've seen him, how he's doing, etc., and when I offer to take him along with me next time I see him, he just says, "That's okay. I'll talk to him when he visits."

    Me and my dad are the opposite. We get along great. In fact, my dad is basically just an older version of me.

    Somehow I think my life would be a little better if I was intimidated by him at least a little. My life isn't bad, but being friends with your dad is a little weird when you are in high school. If you and your dad are not arguing it more or less just kind of proves you never do anything interesting.

    Eh, whatever. I'm cool.

    This pokedad always makes me want to cry a little

    I try to have a good relationship with my dad but I'm gay and really rebellious, I drink and smoke and do drugs (Stopped all of that except drinking) despite him never doing any of those things (whereas some people have druggie parents/alcoholic parents and they fall into it too) and pretty much failed out of school. I'm also atheist and they're both really religious.

    I'm not going to change who I am. I feel like even though he acts like this pokedad he causes more problems in our relationship.

    Me and my dad have a good relationship now but when i was a teenager i was a real dick to him, i remember one time we were having a massive argument, he told me what i was doing was ridiculous ( I cant remember what i did) and i just said coldly 'no You're fuckin ridiculous' then he hit me across the face and as i looked up shocked he had tears in his eyes, i think i actually made him cry when he left the room. I think it was the fact that i had no respect for him and i made everything into a conflict when all he wanted to do was help me. Thankfully i have a better relationship with him nowadays.

    My dad used to smack me around a lot when I was younger. He was a real bully and sometimes I'd end up with bruises.

    I got bigger and he got crippled, and now we have a great relationship because we like the same things and all the childhood abuse just built character and a deep love for physical comedy. Before he crippled himself at work, we used to beat the shit out of eachother in playfights for fun. Good times.

    Now he's too doped out on morphine to do that. Be sure to lift from your legs when you get older, kids.

    Since we are talking about dads and alienation, I guess this story would be fitting.

    My grandfather was an asshole to his kids, he was an alcoholic drug addict, as well as being insane in general. I never really ever figured out all the specifics, but according to my dad "He never won any father of the year awards".
    Everybody just kind of leaves it at that.

    He died a year ago. His second wife had left him over a million dollars(This money would of course create it's own unique shitstorm once everybody found out about it, but that is a story for a different thread). In his apartment in queens he had horded 40 years worth of random crap. Appliances, speakers, instruments, everything you can think of he had at least ten of. I even found a set of throwing knives when we cleaned it out.

    Anyway, he died in my aunts house surrounded by his kids. And yet, he was completley alone. He was a burden on my family in his final years(cancer), and they had no problem reminding him. He was an asshole to everybody, even in the end.
    At his funeral, nobody said anything(nothing good to say). Me and my cousins just kind of sat and hung out at the wake, there was no tears from anybody.

    After the funeral, my dad looked at me and said "I love you, always remember that. I don't think my father ever loved me".

    I wanted to say something back but I couldn't think of anything.

    All this alone is enough to make me realize how lucky I am.

    I would give anything for my dad to try to talk to me. He is an artist living in his own world. I bought him WoW and paid for the monthly subscription so we could play together when i was in highschool - i no longer play but the when ever i do call him - playing WoW is more important then talking to me. He doesn't even have a job. The only time he reaches out to me is when he needs money.

    He always played the vyda when i was a kid i went down stairs to get him for dinner and he told me to go to hell...i guess his own world was always more important then his youngest son.

    the one thing he did give me was a passion for reading, to bad i can't talk to him about the books i have read - or my thoughts on them.

    fuck i want a real father.

    The last time I saw my dad ... I was homeless and strung out on the streets of philly ... ended up getting jumped one morning while copping in the badlands by two niggers and getting beat to within an inch of my life over twenty dollars ... they only got ten of it .... i walked around all day with blood all over me and finally called my dad and said look man im fucked up i need somewhere to go for a few days. That night i couldnt breath i didnt realize how severe the beating was [ broken ribs , internal bleeding led to heart infection and a month long hospital stay ]
    anyways that night i went into his room and said look you either need to call 911 or drive me to the hospital ... he drove me and we started arguing he swung and punched me in the chest back hand while driving we fought and wrecked the car. two ambulances took us away. a year later i decided to call him , his roomate said he died 6 months ago

    My father used me and everyone else in my family as an emotional punching bag so that he could feel better about the giant disappointment he felt his life to be. He cheated on my mother and abandoned our family a week after I graduated from high school, and I haven't talked to him since then. I would, but there's a pretty good chance that I'll just get taken advantage of again, and he'll be putting me through constant guilt trips to make himself feel better.

    My grandfather was the oldest of 6 children. His parents died when he was 15, he began working as an erran boy for the military during one of the coupes of the early 30's. He eventually moved on to banking, and worked his way up to regional president.

    I remember as a kid we would walk through his old neighborhoods and the shopkeepers and everybody around who he'd had helped give loans to would come out and greet and offer him free stuff.

    My dad was a naval officer, a pretty big deal from where I come from, he eventually became a lawyer and now works for the United Nations.

    Needless to say, I have been set up for failure. There is no way I can surpass either of them :(

    Me and my dad get in fights a lot, mostly over how he thinks I'm lazy and unmotivated and inevitably going to ruin him financially by defaulting on all my school loans, but sometimes over him being a control freak and setting up arbitrary limits on things that I'm allowed to do while I'm at home without any reason or warning.

    I have tried being friendly and being civil even when he gets angry at me. But the worst part is, even when we're getting along, it doesn't feel genuine. I have to act unnaturally and say things I don't mean just to avoid upsetting him. Occasions where he says something I find genuinely interesting are incredibly few and far between, and I end up wondering why I even bother.

    A lot of you are saying how you forget to call your dad back, don't see him more than twice a year, etc.

    When I was 12, my dad and I got into a huge fight. We were never close but we got along, and I used to blow him off for my friends. Anyway, we got into a huge fight that ended with me telling him I hated his guts. He left the house to blow off some steam and died in a car accident the same day. My mom didn't tell me until I was 18 that he intentionally drove his car into a tree, after swallowing a bottle of sleeping pills.

    I'm telling you because I want to appreciate your fathers while they are around. Even if he used to beat you, even if you haven't spoken to him in years, I bet he thinks about you every day. You still have a chance to build a relationship and make him proud. Just calling him up and talking for a few minutes would probably make him so happy to know you're thinking about him.

    I screwed up and lost my chance to make my father proud to have a son. You still have the chance, so please take advantage of it.

    Not as bad as pokedad example but do feel guilty at times

    when I was at home before uni I'd spend a lot of time in my room not interacting too much with my family. I'd come down and chat with my dad while he was cooking and then leave sometimes when my food was done but he'd stay in the kitchen watching the tv by himself. Felt sad for him...

    my mum is similar too but I think she prefers her own company, she's going to die in the next 5 years so I will make sure to tell her I love her when I am able to and feel guilty if I don't call in a while

    When I was an infant my mom would always leave me alone in the crib while she went off suntanning and my dad was at work. One day a lawn maintenance guy came by and heard crying forever, so he talked to the apartment complex owner and they got a key inside and found me all alone. They told my dad that if I wasn't being watch they'd put me in child services. My mother refused to watch me and had an affair. Then she asked for a divorce. My dad had to declare bankruptcy to put me in daycare while he worked overtime to pay for him and me. Later on my dad remarried and my step mom adopted me. I haven't talked to my biological mom since I was 4 and my step mom is a complete bitch too. I feel so fucking bad for my dad.

    My grandfather on my dad's side was an incredibly intelligent drunk fuck up. His father too.

    My dad was an ex-special forces soldier who dabbled in boxing and cooking and fishing, as well as an incredibly talented trumpet player. He was accepted to a school in NYC before crashing his father's car and splitting his lip (so he couldn't play trumpet). After that he got depressed and drank, constantly. This was all before I was born. Mum left him. I've never met him. I don't know if I want to.

    you won't believe me when I tell you, but some people are simply broken. you probably cold never have made your father proud because he was not capable of being proud of anything, let alone a creature that is sentient.

    fathers should be proud of a son who is ballsy enough to fight with them at all. fathers should be proud of a person because they are a person and won't just be controlled.

    I fucking love my dad more than anything.

    Once I got really scared that I was having some sort of heart attack and I called him in a panic at work. He rushed over and sat with me the whole time ensuring me that I was fine and I was just blowing thing out of proportion (which I clearly was)

    My dad isn't the burly marcho type but I had never seen him cry. The next day he gave me this big talk about how how his whole purpose in life is making sure that I am safe and well taken care of and starting crying in the middle of it.

    We grew up somewhat poor. My dad worked his ass off to provide for my mom and me. He worked at footlocker and took the bus everyday to college. For years he did this. Thanks to his sacrifice we live very comfortably now.

    He doesn't drink, he doesn't vent work frustrations out on us, he doesn't even yell. I love my dad more than anything in the world. I could go on for probably an hour or two writing about him but to sum it up, if I could be just half the man he is, I could die happy.

    Pic related. He helps me mod/paint gameboys for fun.

    My dad left when I was 2 or so. He is a total alcoholic loser. He told my mom he wasn't going to get a job until I turned 18 so he wouldn't have to pay child support. I don't hate him. I pity him. He is killing himself with alcohol and is alone because of it. He was even selected for that show "Intervention" but the family members involved backed out of it.

    My mom on the other hand is awesome. She busted her ass and was selfless to raise me and make sure I grew up healthy and happy.

    My dad has some kind of mental thing going on, I don't know what it is. when we were kids my mom took us and left him and hated her for it when we were growing up. My dad used to get really mad, I don't remember much, I try not to.
    he's always called me selfish and lazy and insensitive. I try hard not to believe that I am and I try hard to be the opposite but it's so hard to tell. he was on prozac for a while but he thinks he's all better now so he doesn't take it anymore. I lived at his house for a while and left wen he chased me down the stairs for not responding to his screaming at me. he drinks a lot and smokes pot, neither of those are all that bad except now he NEEDS them to be like a normal human being.
    (girlfag here by the way, sorry if I'm ruining the manly tears thread.)
    he makes up motives for me, like he thinks he knows my reasoning better than I do and on more than one occasion has been standing there yelling at me telling me to cut the bullshit while I cry because I am afraid of him and frustrated because he doesn't believe anything I say and I can't win. he taught me that the truth doesn't mean anything if you're loud and violent enough. he would berate me until I wasn't even sure what the truth was. I wish I could have had one of those disgusting hokey good-friends father-daughter relationships. when I see them now they look perverse to me because I can't understand them. Yes I blame him for some of my hangups, but I don't sit around and use him as an excuse to be an insecure failure either, I don't want to prove anything to him, but I want to be fucking sane and happy for my own sake. and at very least he taught me how not to treat the people you love.

    and now I understand my mother and I wish I hadn't spent so much time thinking she was a quitter. how was I supposed to know? it was what he always said. unoriginalpicblox unrelated

    I, on the other hand, am doing poorly in school and am the polar opposite of my dad socially and academically. He told me he often wonders "where did I go wrong?" He also told me he wishes he could not give a shit, like I do.

    My relationship with my father feels almost non-existent except for the biological connection to him. My parents got divorced when i was 6 we lived in a 1 bedroom apartment and i suspect my dad cheated on my mom which caused the divorce( I'm not entirely sure i dont remember being told why my parents got divorced and i never asked). Anyways after that my mother and I i lived in the city for a 1 year a bit, i would visit my my dad on weekends. when i turned 8 i moved to canada. From then on until i was about 13 i would visit him once a year after that i didnt feel like visiting anymore because my dad worked while i was there i was in the house with my grandmother all day while my grandfather was at work we got on each others nerves alot and staying at my grandmothers house was boring as fuck, i didnt feel like my dad really cared much if i didnt come visit him. Between then and now he sent a few emails and tried to communicate with me online a couple times. He came to my graduation and left a day later, since then ive communicated with him twice in email and i texted him merry Christmas its been 7 months since my graduation and to be honest i dont miss him and feel pretty indifferent towards him since i never had a strong relationship with him past the age of 5

    I love my father

    I buy him and my mother expensive presents like a computer or HD LCD TV and do all the programming and setting up for them personally. I fix their computers when they break. I try my best to babysit the kids my parents have fostered out of their own heart and selflessness so they can enjoy some alone time together for dinner or movie or whatever they decide on. I'll shovel the walk, mow the lawn and collect their mail when they are away on vacation. I see my parents at least once or twice a week for dinner and I'll go shopping with my mom to help her carry groceries inside the house on the odd day. I also try to visit my grandparents as often as possible too, because you know they wont be around forever.

    I love my family and I live my life abiding by the rule that nothing is more important then family. My oldest brother and I get along great and we are very close and I am in good standing amongst the remainder of my family for being a genius with computers, for having an amazing job, and a brilliant girlfriend.

    The only downside to this story is my middle brother became addicted by crack cocaine when he was younger and is the biggest fuck up in our family and to this day still is a continually drain on my parents existence and forever will be; because hes fucked in the head. I've lost sympathy and pity for him, but the effect he has on my parents I try to make up for as often as possible. Because they are the most important people to me

    I never really knew my dad. He lived with us for a couple of years when I was six, but that was it. My parents got divorced, because he was an alcoholic..and some other reasons I'm not sure of. So he moved away. I think I only saw him once or twice after that. He was always forgetting birthdays, christmas, or coming to visit when he said he would. He'd call though, but I would refuse to talk to him. I didn't like talking to him because he always cried and apologized for being a shitty father.

    Eventually, his alcoholism caught up to him and he got some kind of liver disease. He came to visit once, but he looked so disgusting from his illness I didn't even want to touch him. A couple of years after that, when I was 15, he ended up in the hospital... in critical condition. I wanted to go see him, but my mother wouldn't let me. A few days later, he died.

    I still feel awful about it. I know most people here don't believe in god or the afterlife or whatever, but I just.. hope he doesn't think I hated him. I wish I could say sorry.

    I've never been able to communicate properly with my father. All through my life he's been a worthless pothead who won't go out and get a job. He'd find a job once a year and stay there for three weeks until he'd quit. Its gotten so bad that when he puts his resume out there, they automatically ignore it because he has such a bad rep. He would sleep all day, watch C-span and smoke weed.
    Its so sad because he's a very intelligent person, but he has no people skills. He lets his anger take control of him and is always taking his anger out on my mother. He never physically harmed her, but he would always yell at her because she wouldn't agree with him on his dumbass ploys. Its real embarrassing to be out with my father, and the way he eats is disgusting. I don't know where all his potential went.

    After we moved from Vietnam to the US, he worked his way up quickly at IBM, and soon became a high ranking manager. He's good at computers but is so lazy. He makes stupid decisions like bad investments and argues with my mother because she is the only rational person in the family. Year round my mother was the only one working and the only one supporting our family. We used to live in a very nice neighborhood(million dollar houses), but my father managed to fuck that up, he couldn't hold a job.

    7 Years ago is when my mother finally divorced my father and now we live in a 2 bedroom apartment with a roach infestation. Its okay though because we're happier with out him. My father is in Texas right now, and calls me maybe 6 times a month. I don't ever answer because I can't stand him one bit.

    He basically ruined our family and any chance of having a nice lifestyle. Now I go to a community college because we don't have enough money for me to go to a nicer school. My financial aid won't allow us too much money because my mother makes "enough."

    I haven't seen my father in about 3-4 years. I remember as a kid seeing him and playing with him and shit. Him and my mom had me when I was 17. (fucking ghetto Hispanics. had my big bro at 16, and my lil bro at 18)

    He's smart, has a degree in engineering. Too bad he's a druggie. He's probably some where conning people and doing drugs. I really don't miss him, or *love* him. Fucking asshole never payed child support and still owes money.

    I some times wonder how fathers can abandon their kids, I can never see myself do that.

    Never had a real "mom" either. Fuck man, you people who have both parents are lucky bastards. It be nice knowing how it feels to come home to a good family.

    BAWWWW :(

    My dad left for NY when I was 12. He missed my entire development as a man. Sure, I went to see him for the summers, but that's 2 1/2 months out of the year.

    Now he's on my ass about 'continuing the family line' and 'getting laid before I turn 30' 24-year-old virgin here.

    I wonder if he even knows how much him leaving has made me into what I am now? I'm working to get over it, but I get so fucking pissed when he asks 'ya get any yet?' that I'm just tempted to send him a cup of my sperm with a note that reads 'God speed, Dad.'

    My dad was an expert at pretending to be a nice guy, while secretly being an abusive bastard. Mom couldn't divorce him until I was 13 because he was a cop and would win in court until I was old enough to have a say legally. Physical abuse wasn't uncommon, psychological abuse and intimidation went from a sometimes thing to a frequent thing to a constant thing. Sad thing is if he didn't have that side he's a pretty cool guy, and he definitely had both a positive and negative impact on my life. He refuses to acknowledge he ever did anything wrong. I haven't seen him in almost 10 years and only talk to him ever few years.

    My dad is a badass. I had the opportunity to go to this big awesome party my sister was raving about when she got home from it, but I opted to stay in and get sauced with dad instead.

    He's been to some really interesting places in the world and isn't afraid of picking up new hobbies just for fun. He's tried wood-carving, boating, canoing, car-remodeling, architecture and all kinds of other things. Were it not for me and my sister he and my mother would be very wealthy.

    And that is my problem. He's so awesome and so badass that my greatest fear in life is that I don't live up to him. I've taken a semester off from college because I just cannot figure out what I want to do with my life and it eats at me because I feel like I'm just disappointing him and my mom because of it.

    I mean, I know I'll find something eventually. HE always tells me about how when he was my age he was in exactly the same position I was. He tells me he's proud of me and that I'm the best son he could ask for, and I lay awake at night thinking about how poorly off I'd be if that changed.

    My dad and I never had much of a relationship. He just went to work and occasionally made some really slight effort to pretend like he knew what was going on in my life. I wanted to do something about it as I got older, but I didn't know how to start. There was already such a gulf between us and it felt weird for either of us to show affection. We generally only did it when one of us was leaving/arriving at an airport.

    Now his dementia is such that we have no chance of connecting. He doesn't remember shit and basically has to be cared for like a child. Due to his mental state, he practically pissed away all our family's money and I'm not sure how we can pay off our debts, much less pay for the nursing home he needs. He can be verbally abusive to my mom (due to the dementia), but he's so physically weak and vulnerable that his hurtful words seem comically ineffectual. It's not how you like to see a man you looked up to end up.

    TL;DR Don't have a son. Don't get old, either.

    my popi was generally absent when i was a kid, which was really rough at the time. i hated my mom because she'd be the one doing the discipline in his place, but it was always worst when she said "just wait until your father gets home." when i was a teen, and he was home more, the void opened up for real. i finally graduated from university a month ago and he presented me with my first dSLR. now i realize that that's what a dad should be, a silent provider type.

    i love my dad, and now that i am living 6000 miles away in a little town where i walk everywhere, i appreciate all the stuff he's done for me and my family. i email once a week and call home with skype every two to see what's shaking.

    I can do one better. My dad didn't even stay to the end of my graduation ceremony. The instant they called my name, I saw him wave, get up, and leave.

    Funny thing is, it really didn't hurt or anything like that. I didn't grow up with him (for some odd reason, my family had me think he was my uncle until I was 13), yet we somehow are EXACTLY alike. I expected as much from him. Hell, he even told me he was glad that my mother married someone with a last name close to the beginning of the alphabet (began with a C) so he wouldn't have to be there as long. He was never much for crowds.

    My father neglected me basically for my whole life. At 20 I needed some information about him for government related paperwork so I asked my mom to call him and get them. He asked if he could speak to me or visit sometime. I said no. There's a good chance he'll die without ever seeing me again. I'm sure we both feel pretty bad about that but any chance for a normal relationship has passed. He doesn't really have a son and I don't really have a father.

    Ha, my father relationship doesn't exist anymore. I sort of wish I had the cool dad to begin with but it didn't work out. I told him off when I was 17 and haven't talked to him since.

    It wasn't that he was the worst person to exist, he was pretty bad still. He got drunk all the time, hit me, hit my sister, hit my mum, cheated, did drugs, crashed all the cars he or my mum owned while he lived with us, and then persisted to seem disappointed in me and my sister for not coming out the right sex. Over the years he tried to convince us our mother was trying to brainwash us into hating him when we didn't feel that way. He also tried to force religion and his ideals on us, ironically in a fit of trying to brainwash us.

    At the same time I feel guilty, because he asks for forgiveness, but I'm too stubborn for that shit. It's sort of depressing to know if he had been there or a father I would have a better relationship with my parents overall. Wouldn't have felt like pushing my dad off when he asked to do something because I thought he was worthless. I have no intention in seeing him again though, probably wont until he's dead.

    But they're boring as fuck. I don't want to get a shitty, boring ass job and make shitty, boring ass money for my shitty, boring ass self, fat wife, and ugly kids.

He could be on a disability pension but works hard so that we can live well. My mother is a spiritual, irrational, control-freak bitch that he left an then came back to for reasons I'm not privy too. He's such a cool guy, so laid back. He's okay on his own, which is what I look for in other people when I consider becoming friends. If they're dependent on my company then they're not worth giving it too. I have a full conversation with him maybe once a day. Both of us know a lot about theoretical and quantum physics, so we talk about that a lot. Last night he bounced a theory he'd come up with off me. Due to his substance abuse he's going to die probably in the next ten years, but I'm okay with that because I know that while he was alive we had a good relationship and I became as intellectual as he wanted me to be - philosophically. I love my Dad, man.

    My mother is on pills half the time(usually when shes not yelling for stupid nonimportant shit) NEVER cooks, always whines, when she actually does something usefull around the house she brags like she climbed a fucking mountain, and also, even when I was completely broke with no money to eat (yeah, we dont share food in this house) she didnt want to cook or give me money, I had to borrow money from my friends. Also, she talks to herself and usually its pretty loud.

    Needless to say I never got any usefull advice from these 2, or any help with my problems when I was a little kid.

    But I found out its easier to hate someone than love, so yeah I have 2 less funerals I need to attend to in my life. Fuck you mom and dad you irresponsible idiotic pieces of shit.

    We don't have anything to talk about, and so both keep the mouth shut.

    I'm surprised at how common the aloof father is amongst /r9k/. My own dad was the same way. When I was young, I used to play little league baseball, and my dad was pretty into it. He wasn't living vicariously or anything, I was just a little kid, but he would insist I play catch with him, and so on, and I loved the fuck out of it. It was awsm. That Christmas he bought be a toy, it was a metal frame with a net in it. It was designed so that when you pitched a ball into it, it would return the ball at nearly the same height and speed, so you could play catch with yourself. I think I used it once, quit baseball, never went back. Between my two parents, my mother handled raising us, whereas my dad only paid for us and disciplined us when my mom couldn't bear to. As such, he took the role of the tyrant, and my relationship with him never really recovered. Ever since I moved away to go to college, though, I've been trying to treat him more equitably with my mother, but it's just tough. I just don't have the same kind of bond. I suppose most of you could say that, though, from a quick skim of this thread.

    My dad would be like this but i don't allow him to since i treat him like an equal human and we give each other space and respect. I knew 2 brothers in public school whos dad had a skin disease which caused a ton of bumps all over him and he would drop them off at school like a street away so nobody could see him.

    I would never EVER do that, if the faggots at school don't approve of my family then fuck them, i'll move on from normal people every few years but i love my parents and their feelings matter.

    Quick, while you are still able to learn better, while you are still able to recognize the dysfunctional nature of your upbringing...GET THERAPY. I had a dysfunctional upbringing, too, much like what you are talking about, only I was lucky that my mom was an anchor of affection. It took me years, but I tell you, I have no idea where I would be now without therapy, except that things would be a lot worse. You can gain the emotional strength to accept a healthy, loving relationship...if you act now. Don't wait too long, or these wounds will heal shut and leave scars that you will carry with you your entire life, and you will forget that you are even carrying them. Don't let your habits crystallize into a twisted tribute to his ugliness. Get help now, while you still can. Please.

    My dad works insanely hard.
    His dad was a farmer, and his grandad was a farmer. He was a farmer until he turned 20, then decided he wanted to go try his hand at business. The dude went to university while working full time, and graduated dux (valedictorian).

    He got a job at a big company and worked his way up until he was running the business in two countries. I forget what sort of annual turnover they do, but it's in the hundreds of millions. Every day he gets up at 3AM and doesn't sleep until 9 or 10 at night.

    Unfortunately, scaling the corporate ladder like that meant that he was pretty much absent for almost all of my childhood. And when he was around, he was always yelling and swearing. He'd make grand gestures to try to make up for it (like buying us cool stuff), but each and every time it drove us further and further apart. I'm pretty sure he's cheated on my mother, and lately she has talking about leaving him.

    Lately he's been trying to talk to me more, but we really don't have anything we can relate about, and to be honest, I'm not sure I want to. My older brother and sister have already moved out of the house, so I think he's finally realised that he's missed his chance with them so he's trying to get closer to me, or something like that.

    tl;dr BAWWW

    My dad is pretty much the most awesome dad on earth. While he can have a quick temper now and then, he's pretty cool. We weren't poor when I grew up, but we weren't super rich either. We always had "enough" money. Now that I'm older I feel bad sometimes when I think back how much of a brat I was in my teens.

    I live away from home now, about 30 mins drive. I still see my parents about once a month (my mom is awesome too). My relationship is great with my dad.

    I think a large part of it is because from what my mom has told me my dads dad was pretty much a bastard. He put my dad and his siblings in boarding school and hardly ever saw them. Apparently he also drank and beat his wife. So I think my dad has pretty much gone out of his way to be awesome.

    Growing up he was always there when I needed him. And I know now he's only a phone call away and that he would do pretty much anything for me if I asked him.

    This thread made me realise how lucky I am. When I see him again later this month I'm gonna give him a hug.

    My dad is a cop, but a pretty decent and honest guy. I've always known, somehow, that he wanted a super cool athlete/overachiever for a son. Too bad he got a skinny bookworm computer expert instead. I'm 24 now and I smoke weed everyday; if he knew...I dunno what he'd do. Shit, maybe he can tell and just doesn't mention it. I don't see him that often despite us living 15 minutes away.

    We didn't get along for a long time, because it's widely known that he cheated on mom and that led to divorce; dad then married the woman he'd been seeing so I guess you can't blame him too much...they've been together 10 years, so it must have been a lot more than some tryst. It's hard to keep blaming him after a decade, plus the divorce wasn't too bad, he never hurt anyone...though I do recall a few times when he pushed my mom against a wall and yelled at her, and I would sit in my room thinking "if I hear him hit her, I'm going to get a knife from the kitchen and stab him. he can't hit my mom". I never heard/saw him hit her, though. The worst part was that I wanted to live with mom (remember my dad had cheated, I was pissed at him, plus mom was richer, nicer, could cook, etc) but somehow he got custody of me AND my younger brother, I guess because he was a cop? I dunno how that works. So I had to live with strict cop curfew, wasn't allowed a car until I was 18 (despite being able to buy one myself), and he was generally pretty cold towards me while favoring my brother.

    Now he's super nice to me, whenever I see him. I think he's just mellowed out a lot and is trying to make up for being harsh when I was a kid. I dunno. I just don't know how to talk to him and I feel like we're way too different, and that I definitely am NOT the son he wanted...

    From my experience it's usually the new wife's fault. Your dad will do whatever she says as long as they're married so I wouldn't count on your father for anything. My dad left me and my sister when I was a toddler and I found him when I was 18. The excuse was that he didn't want to upset his new wife and kids.

    Tip for people looking for deadbeat dads: Let them stay missing.

    My dad was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when I was still very young, and being the second born son (by a gap of about 6 years) I barely got any attention.

    My brother went to like 4 private schools after being repeatedly expelled, and generally had tons of issues. He was a child prodigy, at like A-level maths standard by the time he was finishing primary school, so naturally my dad thought he was the best son ever.

    I was fairly average, excelled at nothing except being quiet and well behaved. I sucked at sports, and if I did get to play in a school match, neither of my parents ever showed up. I only had my teachers cheering me on in those games.

    Feels bad man.

    Anyway skip forward 10+ years, I have a degree in genetics and am pretty fucking smart. My brother went on a long downard spiral of drinking and drugs, became addicted to heroin, and after half a dozen failed attempts, killed himself in his london bedsit.

    I dont feel angry, maybe a little bit sad. Despite everything that has happened Ive tried to maintain a relationship with both of my parents (divorced). Both had pretty fucked up childhoods. Once I learned that, it was pretty easy to forgive them for any faults or deficiencies in my childhood - its not their fault, just part of the cycle of abuse.

    Nothing like mental illness to fuck up a decent family. My mom pretty much destroyed my teenage years... at 22, I'm sort of going through the stuff 16-year-olds figure out socially. Luckily my dad is a good guy, even if a bit distant. He's moved out since a divorce would be too taxing since he'd likely have to cover medical fees (my mom's already spent all his cash, so he's fucked). I'll be there for him when it's time for him to retire... he raised me pretty well, and doesn't deserve whatever it is that happens to retirement-age folk with no cash.

    Around 8th grade, he did make fun of my math skills (I was homeschooling, and my mom was doing a poor job of it). I went into high school and scored As and a few Bs consistently. Same in college (one semester left in Comp Sci, 3.9 GPA). He pretty much gave me a reason to prove him wrong... I reminded him of my grades so often then he admitted to me he wasn't the star student he'd claimed to be. I had him beat in math.

    I wish I had a dad like this ;_;.

    My dad was a severely depressed and unwell alcoholic who use to abuse my half siblings and my mother, and as such by the time I was two or three we had moved away and I never saw him again. All throughout my early years the idea of my father was an incredibly demonised one, I remember thinking of him as a bastard yet never truly knowing why.

    But I always grew up thinking that one day when I was old and mature and maybe he was straightened out I could see him, and we could catch up on those missing years and hang out. Well I'm 18 now. And that day will never come. He died when I was 10.

    Then when I was a teenager and learnt more about him I kind of got my pieces to the puzzle and learnt about his upbringing, and kind of got the idea that he had a good heart but didn't deal with his shit and eventually got crushed by it all. This made me want him more than ever.

    Recently I learnt of how severe his abuse of my brother and sister was and how much of it was minimised and covered up, which has created a whole lot more issues. I mean, his only legacy to his family beside my genetic expression of him is the abuse and trauma he inflicted on the people I love the most. It makes it difficult to come to a disposition toward him I can reconcile with.

    Anyway, I should see his family. I haven't seen them since I was 2, and I've seen them a few times in the last few years.

    All you guys with Dadonite fathers should be grateful.

    Me and my family used to live in an old house considerably crappier than the ones surrounding it. It was fucksmall. But we were able to move in to a nicer one as my father has worked his ass of for as long as I can remember. There was one problem with him though. His face was rather fucked up. He most definitely wasn't a pretty sight. I was horribly ashamed of him when I was a kid/teen. I never brought friends home, unless dad was somewhere else. I never wanted him to come to any school fairs or anything like that. Childish maybe, but having someone near Deadpoolish as a dad isn't something anyone would want. He got a lot of shit for that. People on the streets frowned at the sight of him, children cried and workmates avoided him. I never wanted him to come to any baseball matches, or anything that proud parents usually attend. Proud, that's something he was. I did well in school and hobbies, and he often told me that he couldn't wish for a better son with tears in his eyes. When he tried to hug me I would back up. He bought me all those cool things all kids wanted. I got the nintendo, game boy, an awesome bike. He never bought much for himself, maybe an occasional cd or video.

    When I grew up to be a teen, I sometimes raeg'd hard at him when he knocked at my door and asked if I wanted to throw some balls. Being a teen I was very strict of my privacy. Once after I had thrown a huge tantrum he asked me why I didn't want to spend time with him. I basically told him that no-one would want to spend time with a fucking mutant like that. "I don't really even know why mom hasn't left you". He didn't even get mad. He just sat down and was silent for a long time. After some time I just spat out "What is it? It's not like I've got the whole day".
    "You see" he began, "a long time ago, when you were just a baby, we, you, your mother and I, lived in a nice house in a nice neighbourhood. Rosie (my mom) and I had just had you, and I were the proudest parents ever. Then one night there was a fire. A candle, an oven maybe, we still don't know what caused it. Anyways, when I got mom out the whole house was in flames. Then I realized that you were still upstairs. I rushed in and grabbed you in my arms. I covered you with my own body and we finally got out. Our home and everything we had burned that night. I was burnt and spent the next three weeks in hospital. I didn't even really care if I died back then. I was just happy that I got you and Rosie out. That is why I look like this."

    I fucking cried. The situation has burned into my memory. I just cried for hours while my father hugged me. He has looked like an angel ever since.

    My dad is awesome. He's like the first line of Dragonite Dad but when I came with some bullshit he basically told me to piss off in gentler words, but with a tough charachter. Up to this day i'm still learning a lot from him, and he's my best friend. Not for being my dad, but for being such an awesome person per se. Thanks for the catharsis /r9k/

    No.

    But in elementary school my school was having some sort of "parents eat lunch with kids" thing and I told my dad to come. He got his food and I told him not to sit with me because I would be embarrassed by him. He just stood eating his meal. Makes me sad to think of it today. I hope he wasn't hurt.
    But I don't really give a shit about things like parental embarrassment anymore. Hell a few months ago he played Beatles Rock Band at Walmart and I watched.

    Also, my dad's been rather mentally screwed up his whole life, and recently screwed us over financially when he fled the state. I pity him a bit, but don't really feel the need to talk to him.

    I love my dad.

    He has always been the provider for my family. He works an insane amount. He co-owns a gymnastics school. They were moving one of their locations into an old Ice-rink. For a whole month he worked about 16 hours a day turning an old fucking ice-rink (stands, boards, sand, thousands of ice skates, etc...) into a very nice gym school. His work ethic is just incredible. If i can learn to match that i would be happy with myself. And he did it because he knew it had to be done, If it didn't get opened on time my family was fucked. I helped him out a good deal (after school before lax) but i probably should have helped him more (he is in his 50s). He also comes to a good deal of my lacrosse games. In highschool i never thought much of it. But now that i'm about 350 miles away i always told him i didn't understand why he and my mom would come out the whole way to see me. After reading this thread i realized its because he loves me, and dare i say it might be proud of me.

    That being said i haven't been the best son. Talking on the phone he said "cya bud, i love you" i was shocked and only could respond with "yep, cya". Now i say I love you, but i felt bad after that call. Also hugs are always awkward as hell. I came home for winter break. I had to stop by the gym school. My mom was right next to the door and i gave her a hug and she introduced me to her kids. But i was shit afraid of going over to my dad. We were never good at hugging before and interupting a class dosn't seem like a thing he would like. So instead of going over and saying hi to my dad who i haven't seen in months i stood awkwardly in the corner and got my mom's keys and went home ;_;.

    But i still get to spend time with him, he tries to play catch with me from time to time, I love going to the gym with him and learning new things, I like listening to his music, and we see movies together some times.

    I love my dad, i need to start spending more time with him.

    A little background about my dad, his father was a worthless child beater who ran away from his father at the age of 16. He came from a very very wealthy family and basically started a new life. So my dad had a shitty child hood, however he became physically very strong, won all the 100/200m races at school or so he says. He also was very intelligent, got 100% on his science and maths o-levels, got accused of cheating due to being in the bottom set for everything for generally being a wanker at school. Anyway left school and got a manual labour job, ended up working for the council and somehow started training to be an accountant. I was born just as he started training, was about 6 when he finished. With him being a very good accountant we moved to better houses and had lots more money. Then my mum cheated I think, I don't really know why they split up. Anyway my dad had to put up with a lot of shit although he did come out of the breakup with $120k. He's awesome to me and my sister and does everything for us. He had a string of model girlfriends after my mum and now has settled with some fucking bitch who trys to control him. I want her fucking dead, she's changed loads about him. I'm going to try and split them up, she is not good for him. Basically my dad is awesome, very intelligent, physically very fit, the best man I know. I want to be as good as him later on in life.

    Ive never had much of a relationship with my dad, he was always quiet. When I was younger he always yelled. Truth is when I grew older I found out that he was so angry because he was trying to have the best for our family. He always worked, fuck he was willing to work 7 hours away and drive to and from every weekend on the company's money just to see us.

    I never really talked to him, he never said much. But every once and awhile when Im home from school hell ask me whats up, one or two quick sentences and tells me to drive safe back the next day.

    I love my dad, its just hard to tell.

    Growing up I had a great relationship with my father

    in my late teens that went sour, as I grew more racist and hate filled by the day (we lived in the ghetto and being white, that made me a major target for bullying)

    I slowly began to drift away from my father, and I am sure that he is completely and utterly dissappointed with me and what I have become. (A weird unemployed guy who sits on his computer all day and raves about niggers)

    >> Anonymous 01/21/10(Thu)17:27:40 No.7214193
    My dad abused the hell out of me as a kid. he rarely beat me,but every day he'd take all his anger out on me by screaming at me for hours, for anything he could think of. Once i had a drink on a table and i was sitting on the couch, as he walked past he bumped into the table and knocked my drink down. He made me clean it up and screamed at me for a couple hours for it. Every single day he'd scream at me for a minimum of an hour. The record was 6 hours, straight. Yes,i watched the clock.

    Eventually i figured out he left me alone when i was in my bedroom,it was only when i came out and was around him that he'd pick on me. So i spent the vast majority of my childhood alone, in my bedroom.

    Because of that, the only place i ever feel comfortable is in my bedroom,alone. I'm 24 now, i never go out, never do anything, just sit in my room on the internet because thats where im safe.

    Once when i was around 17 we got into a fight and i looked him in the eyes and told him flat out i dont love him,and wouldnt even bother to go to the funeral if he died that day. He actually looked hurt and surprised!

    The worst part though,is he had another son 7 years younger than me. He never did any of that shit to him, and actually treats my brother like his son. He's also mellowed out apparently, and he AND my mother claim the abuse never happened,or if i get them to admit to it, downplay it like it's nothing, and they blame me for never having anything to do with them, never having left my bedroom as a kid, like i fucking chose to be lonely and miserable my whole cocksucking motherfucking life.

    When I was younger, I was shopping in town with my mum, and was kind of embarrassed to be walking round town with her. Later, we were in a shop, and she was looking round the women's section, and I didn't want people to see me with her. She realised, and started crying. I felt absolutely awful, and I still feel guilty about it now.

    My 'Dad' no longer signs any of the rare attempts at communication between us (text messages, birthday/christmas cards when he remembers etc.) as Dad but rather uses his first name.

    Sometimes I wonder if he's finally taken the hint on how I see him or if he just doesn't view himself as my father, but then I forget about it and go back to living my life.

    My dad is a vietnam vet, lost one of his legs over there and saw some crazy shit. When I was a kid we had a great relationship, but when I was a teen I didn't want my weird one-legged dad hobbling along because he embarrassed me. I said some things that hurt him deeply. In my early 20s I felt horrible and apologized for everything I had said, and now we go hunting during hunting season, play video games, get drunk together, and smoke weed together.

    My father has gone deep into the effects of dementia and altizimiers. It first began in earnest when I was 16 and he had his first surgery to get a DBS (Deep brain stimulator) installed. Those years up until I was 18-19 were really turbulent and nasty as my brother left to college and I was put into the forefront of dealing with his insanity, which was light enough to simply make him into a total jerk and not a vegetable. Yet thankfully right before it really began to consume him I was able to make peace with him before he began to slip away. And even amongst the insanity he was still a good father in glimmers and brief glimpses.

    His father died recently. He did not leave a single cent for my father or for us to help pay for my father in a nursing home, gave it all to his brother because he is a shallow shameless motherfucker who if life isn't perfect will refuse to deal with it. When life is perfect he's quite alright, but when he's not he's a fucking traitor.

    Wonder how he raised such a great man as my father. He is and will always be a great man. Got shoved by Barry Bonds, travelled with a 17 year old runaway jailbait while the FBI searched for him because he was friends with the getaway driver for Weather Underground. He was a big as life silly great father and I know I will respect his love and care by being the same for my children. That's the philosophy I would espouse for all of you, that if you had great fathers the best way you can respect their greatness and care for you is to do the same. And if you didn't have a great dad, then break the cycle.

    when i was younger, my mom cheated on my dad alot. which is why for so long my relationship with my mother had been incredibly strained. we're working on it now that i'm older and my parents have been divorced for some years now, and it is getting better. but for quite some time my dad was pretty much the only parent i had. it was him at the performances, at the open house nights, at the awards ceremonies until my mom realized that she couldn't party every night and actually wanted a part in mine and my brother's lives. i guess i really just want to make him proud. he loves telling everyone about how proud he is that i'm working hard to try and live out my dreams, and is constantly showing off work that i've done. there's artwork i've done over the years in nice frames at his house, programs i've coded on a flash drive so he can show people what i've done. sure, we've had our arguments, and having been in the military he was rather strict while i was growing up, and sometimes he wonders what i see in my boyfriend, until i told him that my boyfriend reminds me so much of him: supportive, caring, there for me, wanting nothing but for me to be happy. my dad may have not been the perfect dad, but he did try. i just feel like his relationship with my brother is sometimes charidad and sometimes dragondad. then again, my brother is pretty ungrateful and kinda a general dick, and he doesn't know when to shut up, and my dad can be pretty harsh sometimes, but still.

    i feel terrible for my boyfriend though. there is basically no father relationship for him, since his dad was an abusive asshole. i really feel bad for him, and for those who don't have a good relationship with their fathers, or have some sort of positive father figure in their lives.
