I didn't meet my dad until I was 13. Even then he didn't even believe I was his son until it was confirmed through a DNA test. After that I went to see him every 2 weeks until I was 18(almost a year ago). I never felt comfortable around him. I truly think he didn't care to have me around, and I think he just felt obligated (sp?) to have to have me around. I really wish I could have had a dad from the start who wanted me around and wanted to be a part of my life.

What I'm trying to say is don't give up on trying to be a part of his life, if he wants to live with his mom let him but at least give a shot at being a dad, or a best friend, to him. I'm sure you're doing that as we speak but you know...
officerleeroy Reviewed by officerleeroy on . My own son would rather live on welfare than live with me... I was in such a good mood all weekend, too. But this has been the monday from hell for me. I just got a notice in the mail that my son's mother is adding him to her welfare case, and I have to pay the state for it. In other words, I'm paying for her welfare check every month. Fuck, I have a good job. I have land in the country. Come live with me, boy. But he doesn't want to. :( Rating: 5
