Parents

[scottish]

Again, another curious thing about that other thread.

Do you know both your biological parents?

Do you only know one biological parent?
- Which paren't don't you know?
- (If you don't mind) What happened to the other parent (i.e split up when 5, ran out before born, etc)

Are you adopted?
- Did you ever search for your biological parents?
- If so, did you find them, how was it?

I know both

[buttons]

well depends what u mean know.

know my bio mum, live with her. know who my bio father is but he was never around, they always split up or he was offshore working for weeks at a time. only have one memory of him when they were still together. they split up cause he was a serial cheat. i could pick him out on the street, i know what he works as and i know he likes alanis morissette and smoking. that's about it. i don't know what he likes, dislikes, what he believes in, his morals, how he reacts to things, the details of his face etc.

not really. only know the name and that the other one was tall and worked in something to do with computers idk

Do you only know one biological parent?
- Which paren't don't you know? dad
- (If you don't mind) What happened to the other parent (i.e split up when 5, ran out before born, etc)
never been told but from what i can call it was a massive argument and they split up when i was around three or something

[Futz]

I know both biological and they're still together so i've been pretty lucky in that regard

damn this is awful, I can understand parents going their seperate ways but I don't understand how you can leave your kids

[buttons]

yea they've been separated for about 14 years and although he hasn't been in my life for the majority of it, you do still think about it and ask why.

he sends us cards and money but will avoid us in the streets, giving you conflicting ideas of what he actually feels. i think he wasn't ready to commit as he was young when my mum first got pregnant (19) but felt he had to stay with her and they had more kids even though clearly he wasn't cut out to be a husband or parent. when he eventually left, which should have been before they had more children (which is why i'm against a certain's someones belief that families should stay together no matter what), he made the decision to stop talking to us.

i think now he's older and understands what he's done to us and is over the serial cheating and that he's going to be lonely for the rest of his life, he regrets it. he's tried to contact my brother and asked to see his grandchild as well as getting his girlfriend to talk to us and get friendly but he's too cowardly to do it for himself. he's never going to see his kids get married or have the chance to be a grandad because of his own selfishness. i hope he does regret that.

anyway i try not to be too harsh because ive no idea what's been going on in his head and maybe he thought it was the right thing to distance himself from us but meh hopefully i'll never be in the situation of being that parent or having kids with someone like that.

moral of the story is if you aint cut out for being a parent, use protection and don't have kids with someone you don't love.

[dirrty]

av both

[Absently]

Err I know only one of my biological parents and that's my mother. I don't know my dad simply because he doesn't give a **** about me, my mother tried quite a lot throughout my childhood for him to get to know me but he would just never turn up. I remember one time waiting in anticipation for him in my sitting room and drawing pictures for him but he obviously never showed. He seems like he's an alcoholic as I've met him in the pub before after my mother pointed me out to him and said I was his daughter. Other than that, I honestly have no clue what he even looks like. My mothers told me before we've passed him on the street a few times but I can't say I ever notice him lol.

[!:random!:!]

I know both. my mum is amazing my biological father is the worst father i know but hey ho yeah not spoken to him since i was 3 years old and i seen him at my sisters party last september.

[Red]

Have both, they are still together.

[KEILLERISBANNED]

I know both biological parents.

[Aiden]

I know both :)

[Richie]

[Lewis]

I know my mother and have always been with her. My father didn't even know I existed for the greater majority of my life, which was obviously wrong of my mother to do, and I met him not much but a bit and stopped more than a few years back (it only lasted a couple of months). I didn't have contact since then but recently found out he died. It's obviously sad, but I'm not really bothered about it since I never really knew him anyway.

Pretty messed up but hey!

****'s going down

[dbgtz]

I know them both as far as I'm aware, though that bomb could drop any minute as it did with my brother lmao. Though I do doubt that.

[Matt]

I know both of them, I'm not adopted and they're still together :)

[James]

Know and live with both of my biological parents.
Although my dad still denies it :P

[Kardan]

I know of both biological parents, but was only raised by one. My biological Dad, I know what he looks like, what his name is - but that's about it. Also only found this out when I was 19, so that was interesting.

He left my mum before I was born basically.

[Jurv]

i know them both laa

[Sharon]

I know both, they're still together somehow

[Becca]

know my bio dad know of my bio mother but she isn't around since birth

doesn't mean i don't have a mum though cause my mum is fantastic, but just because she didn't give birth to me doesn't mean she can't morally be a mum because i wouldn't swap her for the world (she's been around since I was 2) my sister is the one who remembers my bio mum a little with her being older so she doesn't really accept my mum that much as she thinks my dad has 'pushed her in' and forgot about her real mum and thinks it is wrong that i call her my mother when she isn't... but my sister is a fat ugly dyke so i don't care what she thinks

my bad, didn't know what happened

[Becca]

my bad, didn't know what happened

was mainly a dig at people who say 'she's not your mother' because some people argue it's about that 'biological connection' with your birth mother and that it's impossible for me to be close with my mum which is stupid, i guess it's just seen too much as the norm to have your birth mother around due to it normally being the dad who isn't around etc

[scottish]

yeah I asked a question but then remembered your article so removed it and put that in :P

[StevenWinehouse]

I know both, but I wish that I didn't know my father. I think my life would be more peaceful if I didn't

[Drewar]

I know both of my biological parents.

[Chris]

I know both of mine too! It seems that most do.

[OldLoveSong]

Not adopted, know both and still together

[FlyingJesus]

Know them both yeah, they're divorced and with other people long-term now but I still see both all the time and get on really well with them as well as getting on fairly well with step-parents, rather lucky really considering how some situations go

[Circadia]

Know both, and their still together. Happy days

[Krazybethw]

I know both but my parents broke up when I was 5. And when I was 10 I stopped seeing my dad and then when I was 14 he cane back in my life but now im 19 and I still find it hard to talk to him about things because he wasnt there when it mattered.

[Jssy]

i know both but they're divorced since I was about 10 its a shame because I am a daddys girl. a month after the divorce he got married to a woman he only knew for 2 weeks and she turned out to be the worst mistake he made, she neglected her own EIGHT children so social services ruled she wasnt allowed contact with me, even in the form of presents or cards and my dad chose her over his kids even though she hit my sister and locked me in a room, it hurt he'd chosen her over his own children.

He's now with someone else and she's nicer but I haven't seen my dad in months. I miss him, but he will talk on facebook sometimes. I wish he cared more. He says Im 18 so can do things for myself when I ask for help yet he will help out his girlfriends kids that are adults. I miss my dad so so much and I wish he would see me more. When there were problems with my mum he said if I went in a homeless hostel I'd be independent so my uncle (his brother) took me in. Not sure what happened really but me and my dad used to be close before him and my mum divorced and I feel a bit isolated because I do need my dad. I regarded him as the only man I needed, the most important man in my life, now I'm not sure

[Sho]

I know both

[nat965]

I know both, and are still happily married.
