			<description><![CDATA[ My dad was around most of the time but absent in the way he&#39;s an alcoholic. I&#39;ll always love and care for him but most of the memories I have he was
pretty much drunk all of the time, except before going to work at 3am. I&#39;d stay up late as a kid just so I could spend some sober time with him.
<br>
<br>
These days I&#39;m not really affected/bothered by the way he is. He doesn&#39;t want help, so there&#39;s not much anyone can do. I don&#39;t hate him, but
whenever he makes... ]]></description>

him. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ That happened to me and now we&#39;ve been really close the past 2 years and he&#39;s the best father ever. I am really lucky. The divorce really screwed
things up, but he&#39;s now the father I dreamed of.

I couldn&#39;t be happier. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yes. I&#39;m not sure if it was him that didn&#39;t want to be in my life or my mom that wanted to keep me from him, I&#39;ve heard both things. Either way,
I&#39;ve always felt a void from only knowing half of my history and such. It&#39;d be nice to fill in the gaps. <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif"> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ i talk to him, i just dont think of him as &quot;my dad&quot;, which is sad. the man is a nice guy, funny and whatnot, but completely incapable of being
responsible. i think of him as a friend, not my dad, which my mother HATES. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My parents got divorced when I was 4 and my brother was 2. He moved back to Penn and we stayed in Indiana with my mom. He was supposed to get us every summer
all summer long but we got lucky to see him one week a year and he would come here for that week. There was a period when I was a kid that we didn&#39;t see
him for about 5 years. I never cared for him, I had my papaw as my father figure. He got remarried on my brother&#39;s birthday of all days and his wife made
him decide between them... ]]></description>

I suppose is was easier for me because I saw him like every two or so years and he called on my birthday. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, my father was away a lot and came home late so we never really had a chance to bond or anything.
<br>
<br>
I mean he&#39;d take me to the bookstore (we both like to read) but that doesn&#39;t really count.
<br>
<br>
Now, things are okay, like we talk but I&#39;m not as close to him as I am with my mom. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ He&#39;s tried to be back in my life and failed. He took me for guitar lessons when I was a teen and then he stopped because they were &quot;too
expensive.&quot; He really shouldn&#39;t have offered to begin with if he couldn&#39;t afford it. Every time he sends me a holiday/birthday card he says,
&quot;Let&#39;s get together soon.&quot; But I never hear from him after that. ]]></description>

<br>
That&#39;s where I am, but I&#39;ve been feeling like this my entire life. <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif"> He gets on my nerves because he tries to blame my mother for how I feel, but
little does he know that my mother was his biggest ally when it came to trying to force a relationship. She tried, he didn&#39;t, and I&#39;ve been through
with him... ]]></description>
