My father decided he'd much rather have his booze than his family. He never paid one cent for me and my brother. We saw him sporadically.
He once kicked us out of his house @ 3 in the morning. I was 8 and my brother was 10. He wouldn't even let us call our Mom to come get us.
His girlfriend said we could come back in when he passed out, that he'd be O.K. in the morning. My Mom came and picked us up.
That was pretty much the norm growing up.
When I was 28, and my daughter was 5, I told him to get f^cked. I told him I'd NEVER treat my daughter like that.
I've talked to him a couple of times since. However, the very last time I talked to him it was a week night, around 2:30 a.m., and he was drunk. He wanted my brothers phone #. I said no, he had to work in the morning...my "dad" called me a c^nt, and hung up.
I'm now 40, and am better off without him in my life. Who knows how my brother would have turned out if he was always played a part in it?
Although, nothing can take the place of a loving, nurturing Dad, sometimes it's better not to have a father messing you up.
My brother and I are survivors, we have good lives, and we are good people. We have put our children first...and always will.
This is because we have a kicka$$ Mom. That made all the difference.
If this is happening to you,chin up, there is a light at the end of the tunnel...and it's not always a train.

I grew up without a father because my mother kept me away from him. I really have never forgiven her for that. But I have a close relationship now with my father.

i grew up with out a father and it's alright. i know that you are hurt and you feel bad, but you can survive it. it is not easy for females because you look to a father who you can run to for his approval and love but know that you will be alright.

my father and my mother met in the army. they wanted to live together so they moved to an apartment with my mom's bff. well when my mom went in to labor with me my dad said he' be there in an hour. well he never showed up. so my mom had to call a cab with me in her arm and staples in her stomach. when she got home she found my dad and her bff in bed. so they moved out. then he came back fro one more night and then my mom had my brother. he abandoned my brother and i for that b**ch. they have been married fro 16 years

Does that count.
