I am 17 years old and about 4years ago my dad got married. Before he got married we were really close nothing could change it he had lots of girlfriends but i was the first girl in is life. well that was up to the point he married Joyce. She used the money my dad had put away for my collage on there wedding.
About a 1 1/2 years ago i tryed moving in with them because my mom was moving 3hrs away from where i wanted to be so i stayed there with my dad. then March of 06 i could not take it i never got to do anything but go to school and work i didnt even get to go to church. so i called my mom and she came and got me. my dad was made told me i was a peace of crap and i was going to end up in Jail and i wasnt his kid anymore that he wants nothing to do with me its been a Year and i have not talk to my dad. Both our b-days are Dec 19 i texted him saying happy b-day and he said nothing back. Its gottin better but i still cry at lest once a week. What can i do to get over it?

I would suggest that you write a letter to your father and let him know how you feel. Be very open and honest in the letter. DO NOT MAIL IT. In 24 hours, re-read the letter and see what you feel needs to be changed. Continue doing this until it reflects how you feel about everything, not being accusatory of him or calling names. Leave your step-mother out of it. She can only do what your father allows her. Oh, one more thing....we never, ever "get over" the loss of a father...we may be able to process it and move past it, but when someone in our life, that means as much as our "daddy's" betrays and rejects us, it leaves a life long impression. YOU are the one that gets to determine how and to what degree it will impact you. I'm 37...and it has taken me years to be able to put everything in perspective with regard to my relationship with my father. I was in my mid 30's before I really "got it" in terms of what impact it had on me. I wish you the best!

I feel really bad for you! If I was you I would write him a letter letting him know how you feel. Maybe if you sent him a letter it would change things. There isn't anything you can really do to get over it. Only time will heal.
