Guys Without Fathers Thread

[Lamperus]

I grew up only seeing my dad for a few hours every few weeks ... and you know what? It didn't effect me badly in the least, and I'm actually thankful for it. He's a great guy, and he and my Mom aren't divorced. They live in two separate cities and they always have, and they like to keep it that way and go out on dates every few weeks. They saw that they liked dating eachother, but not being traditionally married, so they stayed there. My Dad had very little if any influence on my outcome, and my Mom intentionally had very little either. As a result ... I am not a product of the two - I am simply and purely myself.

...my dad died when I was 10 years old.. also...he was my best friend....

Yeah man my dad died when I was 10 too. He was the coolest motherfucker in the world. I didn't get to see him a whole lot, But he was still definitely my best friend and the coolest person I knew. I remember cruising down the Virginia Beach strip blasting Smack My Bitch Up by Prodigy in his pimp ass van pickin up so many ladies. He was the ultimate free spirit, and taught me the meaning of life - do what truely makes you happy. RIP Pops.

My dad never knew his father. I know he does hate him with a passion, he had a hard life and he never talks about his dad. My dad is never home, at most I see him 2 hours a day. I just know I can't talk about my "grandpa."

these stories have literally brought me to tears, i mean i get pissed at my parents all the time but i mean i could NEVER even imagine not having them.

I didn't see my parents much if at all during the day until I was 9. And I know both my parents grew up without parental figures. They both got some deep emotional/mental issues too. I guess I do too, probably genetics. Anyways yeah. I really have no idea what it would be like without a father. My dad isn't really the most outgoing supportive guy but he cares for me and he's cool.

that is some sad shit man, you know i have 2 kids and these stories make me sad to even think how fathers treat their kids, i love my kids to death and couldnt think of not have them around.

they inspire me to be a better person.

i hope those who had/have bad fathers are willing to let go as i myself had a shitty father but i try not to look back to far as its not worth my energy to feel like that again.

Im 22 and I have seen my sperm donor once and talked to him on the phone maybe 5 times. He ignored me for 22 years. I was his first born and he has 3 other kids, which he has always had contact with and does things with them and for them. Im lucky though cause my dad came into my life when I was 2. He got with my mom and took me in as his own and I would have never known the difference if they would have never told me. Friday night my sperm donors ex wife, I have had contact with her for 3 years, she tells me that my "father" wants me to call him. So on Saturday I called him. He couldnt quit apologizing, he told me that he has had many sleepless nights because of how he done his own child. He said he was afraid to call me because he thought that I hated him and would just have cussed him out and hung up on him. As it stands he is saying he wants to be a part of my life, and that he will call me every Sunday. I heard that once when I was like 16 and Sunday never came so we will see.

i have dad that ive always lived with i just see him for a little after work before he sleeps i only talk to him when he screams at me well i dont know him he never talks to me and never had so i pretty much feel like i have no dad even though we live under the same roof i feel like he's in another country with his other sons that he had wit his ex wife.he is a cold blooded heartless fag too

I feel kinda out of place, 'cause I have a father who treats me excellently (I openly told him I smoke pot, he asked what I smoked out of.), but my parents are divorced and they HATE each other and are constantly bad mouthing each other.

There are drugs for that. A therapist can't perscribe them though...

i dont recomend anti-depresents... i recomend the best meds in the world... a few joints...
