So my dad has had a really hard life, he left home when he was 15 and traveled on a boat for 2 years. Then he was a chef for a long time and since then has mostly done work for friends. He has been involved in a lot of illegal stuff like owning an illegal pub, trading drugs and some other stuff and I don't even know half of it.
He has 13 kids, but the only ones he's been there for the whole time is me and my little sister. And he's to old to get new ones, so I can see that he cares more for us.
My mom has a new boyfriend but I notice sometimes that my dad still loves her, but he still knows it was his fault that they broke up (because of drinking and some other stuff.)
Well, he's getting old (65 years) and his longtime smoking (since he was 15) and constant drinking has taken it's toll on hos body. He has some bad disorders and have stopped smoking and only drinks once a week.
I'm 19 and live in my own apartment not far from his. So he sometimes comes here when he's drunk because he's got bad feelings for stuff he's done and can't express them when he's sober. Normally he mostly shows it by getting me food, and giving me stuff, he's always been like that.
But today, he was unusually drunk and I was afraid he might pass out in my kitchen or something, but he went along fine and we started talking.. It went about 30 minutes and he told me a lot of stuff about his life I've never heard before, then he told me that I was a good son and that I'll do good in life and so on. It warmed my heat to hear it from him.
Then he got a couple of tears in his eyes and said that he's sorry for the bad stuff he's done and that he loves me and our family very much and that he sometimes cries when he thinks about me and my little sister. (crap, now my eyes are tearing up again)
Well, after he had gone I started to think about what just happened and I started to cry like a baby, I feel so sad for him and I know how much he loves us and it really doesn't matter what he's done because I still love him. It's been a rough ride but he had done very well for being the person he is/used to be.
Thanks dad! I love you... :shobon:

Your dad loves you.
[QUOTE=PooInTheLoo;19652911]Your dad loves you.[/QUOTE]
I think he figured that out
He said it when he's drunk. He doesn't mean it.
PLEASE GIVEME BOXES
Your dad sounds like he was quite the badass in his day.
warm fuzzy feeling go!
Your dad is awesome.
My dad would barely lift a finger, atleast he doesn't drink/smoke or anything like that.
For him, soccer and beer is life(and the news of course)
its obviously the booze talking

That varies from person to person if they have common sense while being drunk.
[QUOTE=DogGunn;19652944]He said it when he's drunk. He doesn't mean it.[/QUOTE]
Quite a lot of people are more likely to say things they actually mean when their barriers are down due to alcohol.
THis make me go all warm and fuzzy inside.
My dad's dead. :(

fp needs a 'mean'-rating

Then you haven't been drunk before. They might be more open - but it's bullshit that spouts out when you're drunk.
Moral of the story: Don't be a complete dick all your life, you'll regret it.
It now be mandated that everyone who reads this article must now give the person closest to you physically a hug.
Tears in, 3...2...1... :love:
wanna meet that dad
Ya, I love my dad too. We were working on my car today joking around and shit.
Was pretty fun.
I know how it feels man!
I had a similar situation with my old man.
He is not that old. He is only 42, I am 20. He always wanted me to get a degree in science/medicine.
But when I told him I wanted to study photography and have a career in photography he shunned it and told me it wasn't wort my time. He never turned up to my exhibitions he always made excuses he didn't want to accecpt the fact that I had made my mind up.
But the other day, after he bought his new guitar he asked me if I could take a picture of it with him playing it. So I set up my tripod, camera and flash gun and took several shots. After as I was leaving the room, he said that I have a great ability and that I should follow my dreams, I said thanks and continued to walk. As i walked up stairs he said "I am proud of you, you'll make a great photographer."
I never felt such love for my Dad after him saying that.:h:
I've had my stepdad for 14 of my 14 and a half years. We've never managed to connect, and I can't figure him out.
My biological dad isn't a dad to me.
I'll never have the experience of having a father figure :frown:
:D
I like people who like their parents. I know it's not your fault if you have genuinely horrible/abusive parents but the "my mum is such a bitch she said i had to go to school and not play on vidya games all day even though she obviously just wants what's best for me but I don't care because I'm a whiny dickfuck" crowd are fucking annoying.
