We're a good family, and he started working as a merchant marine and had to go to other countries. I guess he met a girl somewhere and are both staying together. He changed the address that he's using now. He doesn't call and tell us whats going on. I don't think he loves us anymore.

Parents always love their kids. Some people just don't know how to be good parents. I bet your dad just feels guilty for staying away when he did and since so much time has passed he is afraid to call your family because he thinks all of you are mad at him. I know your dad is supposed to be the adult, but just because he is a grown man doesn't mean he always knows how to do things the right way.

I'm sorry your father has made such bad choices.
I hope you will not let it get you down. One day he'll realize what he's done and feel really bad. For now he's living in the moment and trying to "start a new life" as they say.
Do your best to keep you chin up dear. Support your Mom. You think this is tough on you, imagine what your mom must be feeling right now! Use this opportunity to strengthen your remaining family unit. Help each other and soon you'll all find the worst of the situation behind you!
I'm quite sure your father still loves you just a much as he ever did. But, as I said he's made some bad choices and is trying to live in the moment of where that choice has taken him. Don't take this personally because I'm sure he hasn't considered how this hurts every one he loves. He's totally focused on himself right now. Just know that at some point he'll come around to realize that. Hang in there dear! Life will get better!

I'm sorry this happened to you, don't be sad dear, unfortunately, many people grow up without a father, either because he died early or because they couldn't be around for different reasons,
Don't feel bad, you did nothing wrong ever, you deserve to be loved, don't think he doesn't love you, parents always do love us, no matter what, he is being inconsiderate right now, but you have a father watching over you, he is God and loves you and will comfort you.
Don't be ashamed of anything, your father will come around, it's just a phase they sometimes go through, he feels guilty for what he's done, he knows it's very wrong, but can't face it, it must be hard for him in his way of thinking, if this woman goes away, (things always change/happen) he'll be calling you again. Don;t let this worry you, carry on with your life and career, your livelyhood and youth and use all the resources God has given you to be a great person.

considering the fact that no person became into heavily injured or killed it might in basic terms be a misdemeanor hit and run (you do no longer would desire to hit yet another guy or woman). For using with passengers and using after 11 on a provisional license you will get community provider or a small superb. do no longer undertaking too plenty approximately that one. in case you get charged with hit and run and/or reckless using, the outcomes for which may be plenty extra intense. each and each contains a great and/or ability penitentiary time and a pair of things on your checklist. In CA, being under 21 and blowing a 0.01 can nonetheless get you a suspended license. no longer something you probably did may be possibly be seen a criminal, yet counting on what precisely you're charged with, it is recommended to think approximately a criminal professional.

Anyone that would abandon their children, have serious issues. They should of thought of the consequences of having children before actually doing so. Sounds like he just couldn't handle things that well, and he needed some growing up to do still. Nothing you should feel bad about.

have you heard the phrase: "Its me not you"
its your father that has the problems going on not you.
don't take it personal for now. you did nothing wrong. as his child you didn't do anything. its was his choice to leave.
be greatful for the rest of your family: support one another especially now when times are tough.
the situation will be better (with or without your father)
have faith and try your best.

I think he abandoned you for some foreign booty so he wouldn't have to molest you. That is love.
