I hate my father. I really do. He managed to not just abandon me, but insinuate himself back into my life and abandon me again when I was a young single mother - thereby abandoning my daughter as well. He and my mom divorced by the...

Funny how amazing the human mind is. It can save you.

Dear EP,
I was abandoned by my father ten years ago. He has made a new life and I am definitely not a part of it. The worse part is that he lives one minute away on the same street. Everyday I go to school I experience a tinge of pain...

I'm a 19 year old black female without a father and it's not fair.
I've lived my whole life without ever setting my eyes on him so you'd think I'd be used to it by now.
Used to seeing my roommates hold on to their fathers...

Having your father abandon you once is bad enough, but when three men who you love and look to as a father abandon you, it's especially difficult. My biological father left when I was six. My siblings and I saw him every other weekend...

I still remember being yelled at by you as a child. I still remember Mom taking up for my sister and me, and getting her share of the yelling, too. I remember you going on long trips "on business", but finding out much later that you...

The last time I saw my father was when I was about 10 or 11. It was at my grandmother's (his mother) funeral. (I'm 28 now.) Before then, our contact was intermittent at best. And even after the funeral, we (my brother and I) hardly...

Even in High School, I already knew how I learned best. I knew that if a teacher told me a had done a good job, I would work my ass off for them. If a teacher never gave me any praise, I'd never take another class from them...

My father abandoned me the day I was born. I will never know the reasons. I have been left with his violent mother. I had to live without a role model coping on my own.
