Tell a little about your father anons, most of the guys i speak with have inherent father acceptance syndrome. my dad always respected me and gave me tips to better myself but i later realized it's not the same for others and how important that was for me.
This thread is a cheers to those who looked after themselves even though you had a bad father. you already made it.
This thread is a venting out for guys with fucked up fathers and appreciation of what good fathers are.
Also roasties with daddy issues dont need to respond to this thread unless you have a good father who disciplines you and doesn't say yes to your every whim.
pic related is fathers day doodle done last year and this year after the design team was changed by google this year. you can guess which one was done when easily.i dont even know what the fuck is the 2nd one.
My father is dead.But he was always positive and calm.
Isaac Long
I can't even remember him, and at this point i don't know if i hate him for leaving me with my mentally ill mother, or my mentally ill mother more.
Hunter Stewart
My father is also dead. He had no idea how to show affection. It seemed as though he wanted to connect with me his whole life but never knew how to. Either that or he was totally apathetic to having a son, either way I learned very little from him.
Ian Harris
I haven't met my father since i was 5 years old.
David Parker
do you work user? is there anyone who takes care of your mother?
Nolan Sanchez
do you think that's better than single mothers trying to warp and give you a completely different and unrealistic view on girls and life?

My father is basically my best friend and I wanna do really good tomorrow. I've spent a while convincing him to take off this year (he usually doesn't on Father's day so it's hard to make plans) I'm gonna make breakfast, take him out and maybe drag him to the mall, if we wander around long enough something catches his eye Not sure if I should make dinner or take him out for Five Guys It sucks Father's day doesn't get the attention mother's day does
>lived with my mom for the first like 12 years of my life >barely remember my dad >finally go to live with my dad >mom treats him like shit >trust mom and not dad so I don't say anything and don't respect him >dad in his late sixties at the time, super smart >loved his children and wife but got treated like shit >finally left, I literally didn't notice/care for the first month >then I get the same treatment my dad does >think about suicide every day >I got to this point within 1 year and my dad had to endure 20 years of this >all in the hopes to finally get to live with his children, who didn't actually care for him >chances he will die before I get to hug him one more time
I fucking hate myself for not realizing my mother is a fucking evil bitch and I want him back what do (except off myself)
my parents are self-centered boomers who had me in their mid thirties i believe they view me as their pet and not a real human

used to work all day to make money for me and my mom which led to us to being not that close to each other

guys always respect and forgive if you truly mean it, and they also know if you truly mean it.
if you are still somewhat rarely on talking terms with him, then call him and say you're sorry for not understanding you better earlier, and just called you to wish father's day.
but take it slow though, you dont want him to again deal with all the shit again and bring his ptsd back. take it day by day user
same here user. how to tackle this though. unless the kid knows what's exactly happening you dont respect it.
add to that your mom keeps telling you that he never stays at home, you start to think he really is a careless guy who doesnt care about you. so he's losing on two fronts there. fuck.
same, my dads life completely revolves around his career, he doesn't have his own interests when hes not working he just comes home and passes out in front of the tv

Honestly I have a pretty good dad considering the circumstances at least. Though he can be a bit abrasive sometimes and when I was in highschool it seemed like he would try to find ways to call me a disappointment, I realized later of course that it was just him trying to undo the shit my mother had done to me and him trying to help push me to be a success. I feel really bad for him though, in reality his life hasn't been the best. His first wife turned out to be a bean flicker and cucked him, his second wife (my mother) cheated on him then divorce raped him she tried to take my sister and I away from him of course but didn't succeed, my mother raised me to be a cucked basedboi (I fixed that issue in highschool) my dad's second son (my little brother) died and his daughter turned into a bean flicking slut (she even cut her hair REALLY short) at the age of 12, not to mention a bunch of other bullshit that happened to him. After learning about all that shit in highschool I realized how horrible my mother and sister were and after I moved out I cut all contact with both of them (my dad tells me that my sister is failing college and basically becoming a prostitute and that my mother lost her job and house, I of course couldn't give a shit if I tried and it's honestly what they deserve) my dad and I have a pretty good relationship now and I would say we have had a good relationship most of my life

I love my father so much, and I aspire to be like him.
He is:
>Hard working >Loving >Generous >Intelligent >Frugal (and has been passing on his financial knowledge to me) >Passionate >Possess an almost childlike wonderment with the world >Loves to learn >Is about to retire from his job (Biomedical Engineer - with the same company for 30 years)
I'm going to make him proud lads. I've worked so hard and I'm going to keep working, and one day I hope to be this good of a father for my own children
I just turned 18 a couple days ago, so I still live with my dad. He's a really nice person, but believes a lot of dumb stuff. He's a pharmacist, but thinks that demons are the cause of all disease. He was born in the middle of nowhere in Ethiopia, and was probably the first person in his family to even go to elementary school. He has no interests besides religion, and his family, and he's pretty antisocial.
