dang a lot of people never got to know their father, i feel pretty lucky that he left when i was early cuz then i never knew what its like to have a father... ive seen divorces and kids take it really hard but i was young and didnt know anything... im glad to see everyone posting their troubles with fathers and to all of you keep ya head up... and to the ones who's fathers have passed away, RIP to them... im sure they were great fathers and would still love to be there... you guys are great and made me feel a hell of lot better!!! thanks
