How close are you to your dad?

[HotelUser]

How close are you to your dad, and how close do you think is normal to be close to your dad?

[Nemo]

Not at all. He rarely ever visited so i never had that connection with him, he hardly ever talks (probably coz he's just a bad dad, and the fact he knows i want nout to do wit him) and yeah. He's just pretty bad.

Its normal to be as close to your dad as your mum, maybe a bit closer to one or the other. Or atleast having that regular kind of talking to them.

[Keri?!]

Nope, I haven't seen him at all or even spoke to him since March. He hasn't bothered to call or anything and I don't fancy speaking to him as everytime I do, he always seems to moan at me about something

Quite close, I think its because he works away in the week so when he's actually here on the weekends its the only chance we get to speak so we make use of the time we have.

i haven't seen my dad in 6 years.
he started sending letters (two of them) this year, one was a card that said congrats on graduating 8th grade when really i'm going into 8th this year, so i wasn't happy.
my mother wants me to have nothing to do with him but she said it's up to me, but i know that he's a liar and he's very very sick because of drugs, so i choose not to talk to him either. he wanted to see me this month but i decided i wasn't going to go nor reply back to his letter which was sent around my birthday.

if i could choose, i would want my dad here and to be normal but unfortunately that will never happen. i think it's good to at least speak with your father/parents. you don't necessarily have to be close with them but imo don't take them for granted if they treat you well, there's plenty of kids (including myself) who would love to have a father who actually cared.

Im quite close to my dad, even tho he has split up from my mother and i live with my mother.
I see him about once or twice a week

I'm not sure how close I should be to my dad, I think it would make sense for me to be closer to my mum than my dad but I'm not sure.

It really depends my Dad and I can be close sometimes and sometimes he can be closer to my sister. My family isn't normal to begin with

I'm not close at all. Him and my mum had an argument when I was about 8, he didn't 'walk out' because he wasn't living with us, but since then I've not spoken to him. It's been about 7 years, I do wish I had some of way of contacting him though, because he's ill at the moment only I can't keep up with how he's doing.
I think if I was close to him I'd be a different person.

i have seen mine 3 times in 3 years, we don't keep in touch unless he feels lonely, he just buys ourr love with money. not really complaining tbh he is honestly the root to all our problems within the family, he lives it up all around the world with his brother's fiance that he's now with & his massive income while the rest of his family struggle and hate each other because of him but that's just men for you.
i was more of a daddy's girl when we lived together but prob only cause i get my good looks from him, not that he's a good role model lol **** that. I spent friday-tuesday with him & just got loads of money spent on me, i guess it makes him feel better but i haven't heard from him since:rolleyes: nvm i had already set myself up for disappointment.
my brother refuses to let him see his grandson, serves him right. men people just throw away everything they have they are so stupid gdi.

/lifestory.



why are men mostly the problem jfc no wonder i hate them, adoption ftw.
i agree with lexi, be greatful for what you have that's why i gave mine a second chance but he blew it again lol see him nxt yr i spose
