if you feel hurt and sad and upset, maybe crying would help you feel better!
I'm sorry your dad let you down :-(

My parents divorced when I was 12. When my dad didn't call for my birthday, I called him. Sometimes parents just get busy and don't have time to call. You should call him and talk to him. Tell him that you were upset that he didn't call and listen to what he has to say. He may have a very good reason for not calling. I know my dad said that he didn't call because he was afraid my mom would answer and they would get into another fight. After that I did all the calling, but at least I was able to talk to him that way. Good Luck.

You tell ur dad how ur feeling.. u be straight forward and honest with him.. and u let him know that its unexceptable that u didnt ask for the divorce and u shouldnt have to be treated as if u dont exsist anymore .. and hun hopefully he will appologize, and it will never happen again.. but if it becomes a habit.. then u need to realize that your dad has issues that u , nor ur mom can control.. and u have to decide to either live with knowing he floats in and out when ever its convient for him.. or give up on him completely so that he cant let u down anymore.. and dont let it affect who u are because he doesnt know how to be a "MAN".. some men unfortunately just dont have what it takes to be good fathers..

I'm sure it hurt not to hear from your father on your birthday. My dad passed away many years ago, but I remember him like it was yesterday. Is there any logical reason for him not calling? Has he ever forgotton before? If not I suggest you give him a call. I wouldn't read anything negative into this just yet . p arents get busy or have unexpected emergencies. Call him, and make yourself feel better.

Oh sweetheart, this breaks my heart. I know it's hard for you to understand, but not calling you is not because you did something, but something that he can't do or handle.
Maybe he and your mom really had a bad fight, maybe he don't know how to have a relationship with you right now,maybe he's scared and don't know how to share that with you.
There's really a million reasons he could have for not calling.
What you can do..is calm down, relax, and make sure that you let him know that you and he can still have a relationship and you only need the chance to love him and need him to love you.
Happy Birthday kiddo, things are going to get better.

If you can talk to your Dad and he will listen, tell him how you feel. It's important that he knows exactly how you feel. Just because your mom and dad separated does not mean that he should separate from you. Call your Dad and tell him straight up that he hurt you. If he is a good Dad, he will listen and be remorseful. I'm sorry this happened to you, bless you.

Maybe he just very busy, feeling bad is just normal and sad to say you have to go through w/ that situation. How old are you now? You know you're still lucky that somehow your father is keeping in touch w/ you, my son did not saw his father since he was 3 yrs. old. no calls, no whatever. But i know someday they will meet again that's why i don't brainswash my son to feel bad or hate him. Cheer up! who knows nest time, he'll call you.

call your dad and let him know how you missed hearing from him on your birthday --- don't be too hard on him --this is a very stressful and emotionally time for everyone involved
