Hows everyone's relationship with their dad? Mine wasn't so good and grew up not knowing the feeling of father-son time...

I hate my father, I have tried very hard to extend the olive branch to no fucking avail. I cope by not caring.
Aiden Jones
It's mostly fine, we dont spend too much time together because he's always working but we get along.
Camden Jenkins
My dad was an amazing businessman but a terrible terrible father.
William Nelson
he's a good guy for the most part but my grandma was a psycho bitch while raising him, kind of fucked him up
Carson Taylor
>mom left dad right before I was 1 cuz he was an asshole
>only met dad like 2 times in life
>t. 19 btw
>dad paid more attention to older brother than me
>mfw he told me he owns a shipping business
>mfw I probably will never see a dime
Robert Jones
cold and distant
he was cold and distant
but in my country paying the bills is considered good parenting since most are a bunch of uneducated construction workers who spend most of their money with hard liquors

I love my dad more than any person. My mom walked out when I was 3 months old and tried to bankrupt us by draining the bank accounts.
My dad sacrificed his education and career to get a job where he could keep head above water. My brother still turned against him and all of his wives have been shit. Ever since I graduated high school he's told me how proud he is of me. In college, when I floundered after college, and until I got my career he was still there for me.
People tell me all the time that he talks about me constantly and how proud he is.
He's the reason I work so hard.

>when I was young, my dad would hit me and choked me a few times, but never really beat me
>when I was a teenager he never touched me, but he still yelled and threatened me
This put a barrier between me and my father. I'm still not fully comfortable around him even as an adult. I wish he hadnt done this because everyone else in his life really likes him and I want to like him too.
Adam Gonzalez
fucking weird, he was an alcoholic but never done anything too bad, belted me and my sister when were kids and i always felt kind of weary around him, i'm 24 now and we get on, same sense of humour/music etc. but he's always in his room on the computer smoking grass and i'm in mine drinking booze lol, i find it hard to talk to him but it could be worse.
Nathaniel Campbell
Parents divorced when I was 2 or something.
Met my dad pretty often, when I was a kid it was every other weekend but then time moved on we started seeing each other less and less.
I always moved a few cities away from him, so we never meet at all nowadays.
Not sure if that harmed me or whatever, had a step dad but never really considered as a father figure.
Noah Wood
hes my best nigga and we argue sometimes but i always say sorry afterwards because hes my nigga and i need my nigga because hes the only one I can truly trust in this niggardly world
Isaiah Collins
it's minimal. my parents met in the military. my mom left when i was born, and my dad stayed in. that and a bunch of other problems lead to them divorcing when i was a baby. i went with my mom. when i was a toddler still, he asked for me to stay with him, and he and my stepmom kept me for months after when they told my mom they'd send me back.
when i did return, my relationship with my mom was completely shot, and i acted really weird about having clothes off in front of her and stuff like that.
so i didn't see him again for nearly a decade. i've only seen him twice since i've been old enough to remember it. he didn't call regularly when i was little, but he's been making more of an effort to reach out to me in the last 3 years. so, the end of the story is me being a shit and not talking to my dad as often as i should. i'll message him tomorrow.
he's really religious and right wing and supports me being a tranny despite that, so it's hard to hold a grudge against him for never really being there. i know he's trying.
Wyatt Rogers
Just bought him $1000 tickets to watch Tom Brady lose. He went from thrilled to pissed kek
William Bailey
used to write my dad is my hero in those elementary school reports without knowing what that meant but now that im older i actaully respect and love my dad a lot. he moved to the US without knowing the culture or language ro provide a better life for me and my little brother. faced racism and hardships just for us without becoming the alcholic i came to be. when i got older i started drinking with him and my mother and saw them as people as well as my parents. i love them to death and want to cry when i think about what kind of son i was but im trying to get my life back on track for their sakes as well as my own
Wyatt Johnson
Haven't seen him in over 10 years. It's probably better that way. The last time I saw him he was doing drugs. He has attempted to reach out to me before but I just didn't respond.
I hope he's doing okay now. I hope for his sake he has managed to turn his life around somehow but I doubt it.
If I saw him now it would be like two strangers meeting for the first time I think. I have no idea if he would try to fuck me over with some drug junky shit and honestly it's really not worth it to me to have that in my life.
Levi Taylor
It was good and he loved me but I saw him less and less due to him and my mother splitting up due to his crippling alcoholic tendencies
Unfortunately he died so the relationship is rendered null now
Daniel Turner
>dad is a pig farmer
>saw him everyday but never connected outside him passing down his bad habits like smoking and money management
>it was obvious that my older brother was his favourite
Later down the line my mother cheated on him and had a kid that wasn't his, it broke him but they stayed together my guess because of my younger siblings.
>I've always felt outside the family
>brother all blond haired and blue eyed
>I'm tanned with brown eyes, look kinda italian
>confront mother first ask if he's really my father
>she fights telling me I'm his, though I can't believe her because she'd lied to my dad for so long
>confront my father about it, he also has had this thought and says we can do a DNA test if I want
>tells me no matter what I'll still be his son
>realise that if it did go through with it, it would destroy him and hurt my little brothers because divorce can ruin a kids childhood
>don't go through with it
I still wonder to this day.
Michael Clark
Oh it's great, this morning he had a shitfit over me giving him """attitude""" while we mowed the lawn and he shared a wonderful story about how his mom would leave him and his siblings with weird pedophiles.
Daniel Bell
My dad made it big in the world and assumed that money could replace actual parenting. He got lucky with me because I inherited his incredible work ethic (he's an inventor) (yes i'm posting on fucking Jow Forums but believe it or not my life is trending in the right direction career wise). However, my other sibling is a complete fuckwit because of the terrible parenting and I have nothing in common with them because all they do is party, etc. and waste their days. Family wonders why I don't keep in touch much and it's hard to not see why. I hate my sibling more than my dad though.
Cameron White
>having a dad
DELETE THIS
Wyatt Kelly
do it and dont tell anyone if you want to know that badly
Charles Rivera
My father was a drunkard that would hit me and my brother when he was sober for once, or threaten to give us up for adoption if he was drunk. Worked as an electrician but lost his work because of him always showing up drunk.
In the end he died at age 39 because of all that drinking when I was 12. Over a decade later, I still ask myself from time to time what he would say if he saw me as the failure I turned out to be.
Luis Hernandez
fuck me this thread's depressing, hope you lot are alright
Dominic Perry
How would I get my dad's DNA, I don't even live there anymore user
Jonathan Phillips
Go take his toothbrush. There are a lot of ways women have created for this situation google em.
Easton Myers
when i was born my dad was almost 50. he was always tired from work so he had no energy to play or spend time with me. later on he got alzheimers and got put in a retirement home, he's still there now. i wonder how different would my life be had i ever had a positive father figure.
