I would give anything for a father!

[suicidalsamantha]

So my dad left me when I was 6. He just walked out of my life. With random drop in's until I was 7, but not to see me. Just to fuck my mother. After that I saw him twice from the time I was 14. I try to mask the pain, by saying I hate him. But honestly, I remember all the good times. How my daddy was such my hero. I was defiantly a daddys girl. But the other day my 'friend' said something about her dad. I was like at least you have a father. She said I would rather not have one then have him. It kind of pissed me off. Yeah, her parents are divorced but he gives her money and stuff all the time. And she goes and spends time with him. It also upset me, because I would give ANY THING just to have a father. I miss him so much. Sad thing is, he doesnt want me. He emails my mom, but never once feels the need to email me back :/ I feel so unwanted and unloved by my own father. But I could ask for a better mom, yes we fight. But at least she's staid. And has loved me :/

I would let you borrow mine sometime if you want. He's pretty cool, and he already basically adopted his girlfriend's daughter as his own, which made her my sister. Having a sister is nice, I wouldn't mind having another.

I'm not sure he cared a whole lot about me when I was little, but after my parents got divorced, he changed his mind. I never got to bond with him as a child, and growing up without him being anywhere near was a bummer. I got to see him about twice a year for just the weekend when he would fly me out to see him. But it wasn't enough. He feels more like a cool friend than a dad now, but it's way better than no dad at all.

Your dad might not pay any attention to you, but that certainly doesn't stop you from paying attention to him. Of course it would be best if he did pay attention, and cared about you, but you can still go visit him and keep writing emails, right? He might answer them one day. Just keep it simple, tell him about your day and put one of these in there somewhere: ^_^

or this =)

If I have a daughter someday, I'm going to carry her around on my shoulders and call her scooter. Then when she gets older I'm going to critisize her dates for no reason and say "you can't go out wearing that!" Because that's what dads are supposed to do.

Awww that's sad. Why doesn't he talk to you? Have you tried asking him? I don't understand why some people have communication problems. Could it be that your mother told him to stay away from you? Maybe she wanted you all to herself.

I feel that's the way my mother is. She wants both my sister and I to love only her and to hate our dad, which is weird and crazy. I never asked her to only love me and hate my sister. My dad and I have a great relationship but she always interferes and one thing that bothers me is that he pretends she's such a great mom and we are safe with her. I love my dad but I wish he was a little more protective and took my concerns seriously.
