Hello True American!
I'm really sorry about what you told us.cuz you seem to be a very good, kind, respectful person. He really missed a rare and a good son.
About my father...he is a very kind person. He always been for us around...but sometimes he missed some major events of my life cuz he had to work...but If I ever had a problem I knew that my father would help me. Every time I was sad for the failures that I had in my life...my father used to say to me :It is not the end of the world...and he gave me hope.
Sometimes we do have disagreements...but he seems to understand me. We have the same character and sometimes we are both stubborn. But than we just laugh about it.
I told the good and the bad sides ...cuz nothing is perfect,,,not me, not my dad...not anyone. But whenever love is present every obstacle vanish.
Take care.

It is sad how many kids now have no dad. My daughter didn't either.
My dad was a very nice man. He could make or fix just about anything. He built cages for my pets, much better than the cages you buy. This saved a lot of money, and if he hadn't done these things we probably couldn't have afforded as nice a house as we did. He used to do all the repairs on the family car and the house. He spent a lot of time in the garage fixing stuff or on his ham radio.
I remember when I was five I used to wrestle with him and I always won. I really thought I won, it didn't occur to me that he let me win.
He wasn't much of a talker and not interested in sports, but he loved math, and I did too. He seemed to understand me a little more than my mom did, because his personality was more like mine.
When he laughed his mouth would be wide open but he didn't make a sound. It was funny. He never used any bad language. My mom said she knew he could curse because he used to work with horses on the farm, and you couldn't do that without cursing, but he never did around her either except once. When an obnoxious neighbor came over cursing because my brother made his son go home for cursing. My dad cursed the other dad and then everything was fine. It was the only way to handle the situation, I guess, the other dad must have been like a horse.
There wasn't a lot of obvious affection, but we all got along well for the most part, and I was happy for the most part. I wished there was more hugging, and I gave my daughter lots of affection, but now he's 19 and she hates me. So, I guess affection isn't everything.
I always felt my dad was my friend no matter what, though I sometimes fought with my mom. Well, she was the main caretaker after all. Besides, my dad was more even-tempered.

My father passed away a couple of years ago, and I miss him terribly. While I was growing up my dad was loving, funny, and always there when I needed him. He tried to encourage me to be the best person I could be, and never was mean or put me down. I did some things that hurt him, and I regret that but he never held it against me. He knew I was a kid and still learning about life. I think he was such a good father because he never knew his own father and didn't want me to feel that loss. So, if and when you become a parent, love your child even though you didn't know your father. Break the cycle of pain and loss.

My Dad and I were/are very close. He taught me everything I know today about sports. Even though I come from a large family, 2 boys and 3 girls, our parents raised us as individuals with our own likes and dislikes. I happen to love sports from an early age, my Dad was my mentor and Pal, we would gather all our nibbles and drinks and sit on weekends and enjoy whatever was on. After my 2 daughters were born Dad and I planned to take the Harley's to Indianapolis to watch the Indy 500, Mom was going to keep the girls till we got back, it was a trip we always talked about taking but had never done. The trip was planned and tickets in our possession, bikes packed and we were ready to go when my Mom took sick and ended up in hospital. We postponed our trip, the years have rolled by and after I remarried my husband asked me to sell my bike (he didn't ride) and Dad and I never went. I wish we would have, it would have been a great trip.

I didn't know what is like to have a loving father either. My dad lived with us until I was ten or eleven, but he was always checked out and didn't care about my brother or me. I think admitting you need a father is the hardest thing to do, because you know you don't have one. =/ I just wish I could tell dads how important they are, because without one your life can be seriously messed up.

the first answer is right, ultimatly God can fufill a fathers love more than anyone else. But i still understand where your coming from, my parents divorced around my 10th birthday but ive been blessed enough to keep close relationships with my dad. all and all its ok but since i dont live with him and he has another family to care for he treats me more as a friend who he likes rather than a son that he loves. A fathers love is great, helps you become a man, but dont think that because hes not that you cant recieve it, just have faith and pray about it, your gunna be fine.
best of wishes

It is sad growing up not knowing your natural father... I myself did just that. I was fortunate enough though to have a step father who was loving and kind....However was always curious about my "real" dad....so, when I got older and had kids of my own I set out to find my biological father. I finally found and met him when I was 22 years old. He has been a part of my life since then.
I know that it hurts and you feel rejected, but try to remember that sometimes people make bad choices....maybe someday, you and your father will meet again and you can ask him why he left. But, for now, you have to forgive him and pray that he gets his life straightened out. I wish you well.

No I cant tell you a happy story because my mom and dad divorced when I was 7. Ya I see him every once in awhile and he is so...annoying. He doesnt really care about us and doesnt really give a crap. So I dont really care if I ever see him again. It may sound like I am angry at him but in a way I am happy I dont live with him anymore because to tell you the truth I dont really even like his character. I dont hate him I only resent him a little.

My life with my 10 year old son is a very happy story.
He means everything to me in the world. He's the number one love of my life. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for him.
Besides being my son he's my buddy and best friend.
He makes me very happy and I know he loves his dad just as much. My Dad was a great man and I loved him very much. He died a few years ago. And I miss him alot. I'm sorry to hear about you and your sister.

I am so sorry that you missed out on a life with your Dad. It was HIS loss, believe me.
I am blessed to have a kind and loving father. My Dad & I did everything together when I was a kid. He taught me to fish, to swim, to drive, to play sports, to waterski, etc... He took me to the movies every weekend. I couldn't ask for a better Dad -- he has NEVER let me down.
