I Don't Talk to My Dad

I've never known a time when my mam and dad were together. I don't know if they split up before I was born, or just after, or whether it was a one night stand or what. I always knew who my dad was though, and saw him regularly as a kid...

My dad?
Who's he? I don't know the man...

Yeah he's still alive. I just don't talk to him. I want nothing to do with him.

He refuses to care about me and my sister...only my little brother he pampers. Even after he's 21.

I thought it...

What hurts the most is that there was a time (when I was very young), that I would've considered my dad to be a good dad. I have fond memories of family holidays when dad looked after me and planned activities for us to do together. He...

It's been about four years since I stopped having my father in my life , I've spoken to him once since the when we crossed paths in a post office and then the conversation was brief and along the lines of "how you doing ?" "I'm fine...

Some times i feel like wearing a huge "TALK TO ME" sign like the one in this group's profile pic only that mine would also have "CANT U SEE ME U FOOL!!"  It is very frustrating to talk to someone who barely notices ur presence trust...

(Just wrote this letter at 1 a.m. because I couldn't sleep since I can't quit thinking about people who have hurt me. I wrote this in hopes to move on from this depression, and am debating on sending it to him just to know my thoughts...

Dear DAD,
I never realized how much I need you. God is making a difference in me you know. His grace he spreading it on me, I always thought I accepted my feelings and didn’t need you, but the truth is the more I think...

Dear Dad:
I don't know you!
You were gone most of my life, and I realized you knew where I was you just didn't decide to visit.  You blame my grandmother, but if you really wanted to be part of my life, you would...

Thank you dad
Eventhough u weren't around to watch me grow , I find alot of my traits come from you.. I turned out great I wish u could see the little bit of you there is in me. I will never understand why you abandoned me 
Or y I wasn...

my dad cheated on my mum when i was 7. They divorced but i continued to see my dad along with my brother, who is 18 months older than me. My dad stayed with his partner(the one he cheated with) even though she was 20 years older and me...

It was around 10:00pm on Wednesday night. I had just gotten back from a youth group band thing, and I was feeling tortured, depressed and horrible. I was falling apart as we were singing in the car on the way back, singing about a...

I have hated my dad since I can remember. He was awful to my mum growing up. He had an awful temper with us kids too. He was and still is a loser who never tried to get a job or support his family.
Mu mum was too scared to leave him...

In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the
"unpardonable." I gave the class homework! The
assignment was to "go to someone you love within the
next week and tell them you love them. It has to be
someone you have never said...

My parents divorced when I was eight, and this was definitely for the better, as they had fought constantly. My dad admitted to me later on that before he knew my mom was pregnant he had planned to ask for a divorce then. Anyway...

Well let me start this with a little bit of history..
My mom was eighteen when she had me and she was at the time only dating my dad. I was a mistake honestly... But anyways my dad has always had anger issues, a short temper and has...

Ok, so, I'm 14 years old and about four months ago my dad completely stopped talking to me. We used to have a great relationship, but then he went into prison and after that I think I started getting "scared" of him. We talked a bit...

The last time I spoke to my dad was in 1988. I was 7 years old and can remember all the hospital visits, the ambulance rides, and my mom coming home early from work all the time. My dad's name is Bertrand and he was a great great man. I...

I haven't spoken to my father in eight years or so. I have no wish to speak to him again in my life. My life, as shitty as it is right now, would only be worse if he were in it.

I haven't spoken to my father in about a year now. I feel as if Ive completely lost him, and well - I've become numb to the feeling. Throughout my life he has battled with alcohol, and that has always put a factor into my...
