Was it abuse? Was is mere divorce? Was it anger? Was it rejection of a gay parent? How long has it been? What do you want now? to reunite or not see them again? I'm just curious about such stories.

Wow! These are some very dramatic cases you guys! Thanks for sharing! So far the reasons are:
3 apathetic parents (2 never seen at all)
2 death
1 disapproval over marriage
2 abusive alcoholics
1 intolerability (over controlling mother) - the only case distanced by the posterity.
I look forward to hearing more cases.

Havent talked to my dad in about 6 years.....I went to go see him in August and he said he didnt want to see me cause it took too long for me to go see him when he was the one who made my family and my life hell....I mean how can a father not want to see his children.....I want to talk to him but the way he rejected me... makes me rethink the whole thing....maybe I should just not talk to him again....because truthfully he was never really there....

My father was a abusive alcoholic. The courts put a restraining order on him making it so I won't see him for 4 years (as of about 1 month ago). Seriously I'm only 14, and it would mean the world to me, if I found out he watched one of my soccer games (I'm on the high-school varsity team), or did something to show he gave a damn about me. I have 5 older siblings and the 4 that are over 18 want:
Bro, 21- Never see him again, put the past behind, never forget or forgive, but let life go on
Bro, 22- If he stopped drinking and was nice, would be willing to forgive, but not forget
Sis, 22- Never see him again, put the past behind, never forget or forgive, but let life go on
Sis, 23- Get him help, and in 10 or so years reunite
Me? Hell he tried to kill me thrice. He almost killed me 3 year old sister. No way in hell I ever want to lay my eyes on him again.

My parents (father and setpmom) did not approve of my choice of spouse. (We were both 25 yr old, same race, same religion, same core values, same education levels. In fact, we have never known why they did not approve.) But they have not talked to us or seen us since. And that was 41 yrs ago. They missed out on 2 amazing grandchildren and are now missing out on 4 adorable great grandchildren. I have made 3 attempts, over the years, to restart a relationship, but they are steadfast. About 3 weeks ago I got call from a person I did not know saying that my father was dying and was trying to reach me. I told that person I would not call my father but he could call me. I haven't heard back. I'm not sure what I would say to him. It has been soooo long that all feelings are now gone. I just know that he will be sorry if my wife answers instead of me. Maybe that's why he hasn't called. LOL

I don't see my mother because all she wants to do is control my life! Mind you I'm in my 30's! If i don't do what she wants she has a freaken fit. My father i rarely see because we're not that close....He denied being my father when my mother got pregnant. He couldn't believe he got a Puertorican women pregnant! I see him every 5 years or so. I like being away from my family because that way you can avoid all the family drama every time we get together.

ok... when i was 4 my parents got divorced because my dad was an alcholic and abused my mom. I remember walking in and he had a butcher knife up to her neck. I saved my moms life that night, cause he would never hurt her in front of me. I saw him every weekend until i was 10... it was christmas eve of 2000... hedropped me off at my house and said,"I'll be back tommorrow baby... I love you." I waited and waited... i sat by that window for hours just praying to see his truck come. He never came back. I never wanted to see him again after that. It still makes me mad, but I've forgiven him... cause i knew it would just dwell in my soul if I didnt... so now I can move forward, and I know I'll be ok

My parents divorced when I was only a month old.
I haven't ever seen my dad, so it was a divorce that made it this way. I wouldn't mind to see him again, but then something inside me tells me "no", because this is the way he wanted it I guess.
It's been hard, but like I've been saying, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
