What's your relationship with your father like?

[misscurious]

Is it good? How often do you talk? My mother died and my father remarried and has no relationship with us since. Its like theyre both dead.

I am very sorry to hear about your mother and how your father is dealing with this. To answer your question I personally have a great relationship with my dad, we talk at least every other day.

My father divorced my mom when I was 6. He didn't really come back in my life until I was around 17.

He forgets my birthday (while remembering my 3 other siblings'). He never attended a single graduation of mine (high school, college, grad school) while he attended all my 3 other siblings. He was 1 hour late to my wedding (while he was early for my other sister).

The only thing he does for me is give me money. But that does not make up for everything else.

So in short, I don't have a relationship with him. I'm not close to him at all. And when we do talk, he always talks about his business, never wonders about my life.

Well I get into trouble about 4 times a day over little crap like not closing the back door or not put my dishes in the dish washer. I wish he would be happy that I found a job and ask about my day but he doesn't. I know my relationship with my father isnt great and I wish it was better. I remember get him a hug and a kiss at bed time and he would ask about my day, know I don't know why it has changed.

since he is 70 and im 20.. nah we r not good... we dont talk to each other... maybe just a hi and bye every day...

and well bcuz he left us for about 7 years... well we r not good so much...

well dont think about him so much... although not having a father is much easier and that wouldnt hurt... but try to forgive and forget him...

I suppose me and and my father are okay. Nothing particularly wrong with us, accept sometimes he doesn't pay attention, or at least not very good attention. My mother, either. It's weird. I mean, around the holidays like now and stuff they're really good, but still...

Sorry to hear about your loss

My parents divorced when I was 5 years old so I don't really remember anything from when they were together. After the divorce me and my youngest sister who's 1 year older than me moved to a foster family that included a woman and her daughter. She had worked at our daycare so it wasn't very awkward for us to live with her. Then when I was 7 we moved to our father who now lived alone. He was never mean to us or anything like that but still he thought that the responsibility with having us on his own was too big so we had to move to a foster family less then a year later. He said that we only would stay there for 2 years or so but now almost 10 years has passed and we still live with the same family. We had a little contact with him all the time until around 4 years ago. Since then the only time he contacts us is when he texts us on our birthdays. The reason behind his decision to abandon us is that he met a woman who controls him completely. She didn't like me and my sister at all and she always punished us for almost everything and was constantly angry at us.Therefor she gave my dad a ultimatum. Either her or us, and of course he chose her. He sent a message on facebook a couple of days ago that he missed us and would write again soon. I don't expect too much of it though since he haven't really been good at contacting us before. My mother isn't really there for us either and she don't really care. So for me it's like having no parents too.
