Yes...I suppose you could say he was selfish and a loser. he left my Mom when we were very little kids..... He only came to see us when it was conveinent for him and it made us very sad as children because he would say he would be coming over on a certain day to pick us up and we would wait....and wait...sometimes he showed , sometimes not...but mostly not.
As I got older...I realized how sad his life really was...he was an alcoholic (functional but alcoholic none the less). He ended up marrying another woman who abused him and used him for what little he could provide. He had a very low self-esteem all through life and ended up with nothing; dying in an apartment for the elderly and poor without family or friends around him. A few years before he died I had occasion to see him and he cried and told me how he messed up his life and wished he could have done better...he saw all the things he had wasted. (I was a grown woman with children of my own at this time and it was pitiful to see him the way he was realizing that it was too late to make things right.) The moral of the story is ...he probably isn't a deadbeat Dad because he doesn't love you ...he is probably a deadbeat Dad because he never learned to love and respect himself.
Make your life beautiful in spite of what obstacles are thrown in your way ..learn to love and respect yourself first and you will love and respect others in return.
Good Luck and God Bless !

No, after my parents divorce my mom couldn't handle us 3 kids so dad took us and worked 3 jobs to support us. Definitely not a deadbeat. And that was 25 years ago, almost unheard of for dads to get custody of the kids. Now I am married to a man that has custody of his 3. What is happening to the mothers in this country. I am glad to see fathers stepping up to the plate but as a mother myself it is inconceivable to me to give up custody of my kids.

My father was not a deadbeat. He worked very hard until the day he died.

At least you have one, he may not be a good one, but its someone to call dad, pops, father. Mine died of cancer, and heart disease a few years ago. And he was not a dead beat.

Sometimes. He isn't there in my house all the time. He goes on business trips. Sometimes it feels like he doesn't exist.

My sperm donar is a piece of **** who never did anything for us except hit us and beat our mother. Then when she died he married some skanky old woman neighbor and cut off all communications with us. So I hope he rots in hell.
