What Should Have Been

Written on June 14th, 2011
Its a pretty long story... but im 19 now, and all my life i've lived with my mum and dad, i'm an only child... i get on fine with my mum, but ive never had a relationship with my dad, he knows nothing about me, he never trys to talk to me make an effort to do anything with me, he talks about me in third person to mum when im sitting in the same room, even tho mum has told him to talk to me, we could sit in the same room for two hrs and not word would be spoken. Its horrible what should have been a lovely relationship of love and security, is nowhere to be seen. I visit my friends and see them interact with their dads, and notice what it should be like, what i'm missing out on. Id rather not have a dad atal. I refer to him as a lodger, he's only really in the house to eat and to sleep.

    I am so sorry for you. I only had two boys but always wanted a daughter as well. I had a great relationship with my boys doing all sorts of activities and sports as they grew up. A younger sister had a daughter as my boys where in there mid teens and I was able to spend a lot of time with her and be a fill in dad because, most regretably, her father was never around or able to spend time being a dad. She and I became very close, as I was with my sister, and now that she is a young teen we still have some great times together doing things. I even taught her how to fish and helped her with her soccer skills. If yo need someone to talk with you are more than welcome to write me.

      Thank you for your comment. We have had great times together. Her mother, my middle sister, and I have always been close and having me there to be a strong male role model was very much appreciated by my sister and the rest of my family which is scattered about.
