[QUOTE=worm;21896738]This does not change the fact that I do not have a father.[/QUOTE]
How would it change that fact or make you feel good about it? Why did you assume this?
You asked if having a father is a bad thing- assumed it is always a good thing and everyone who's complaining about their fathers are ungrateful cunts (in most cases that may be true). I just answered to that nothing more. Nothing about you.
Talk with him.
Whatever you do, good luck OP :h:
Whatever you do, dont try to go too far, if he calls you saying he's about to comit suicide, and if your not their to stop him he will do it, so try to stay with him, or at least be close, you don't want him to comit suicide, they funeral will be full of "Why did you do this...".
Also, suggest anti-deppressants or just plain out try to get closer to him, go to the park, help him do stuff, the usual father son thing.
[QUOTE=Parakon;21896377]My dad was a depressed mess after the divorce, but then he got a woman, a fast car and a mustache so now he's a happy, funny generally a guy you want to be around, it's never too late for it to turn around OP.[/QUOTE]
it must have been the mustache :smug:
I don't blame him
Just kidding, I agree, your dad sounds like he needs a serious attitude adjustment
The guy seems angry at himself. There might not be anything you can do for him, all you can do is be as supportive as you can.
[QUOTE=worm;21896515]At least you have a dad.[/QUOTE]
And a mum.
Have you ever thought that mabey he has better things to spend his money on then games? What kind of financial situation is he in?
He probably thinks you only like him for his credit card.
I feel for you; I'm in pretty much the same situation (Except parents being divorced). Depending on what kind of guy your dad is (Generic saxton hale australian, right?) I don't think talking is going to help much. My dad is pretty emotionless, so I basically have to just deal with it.
My bet is that he's having trouble dealing with the whole, boy-father power struggle that goes on when you're our age. Unless your dad is sensitive (Doesn't sound it), you won't be able to connect with him on that level. Bluntly you'll just have to go with the flow until you're able to move out.
[QUOTE=Silly;21896577]Your dad has failed to achieve his ambitions. Now he (thinks he) sees his mistakes in you. He wants you to be the king of the world. Nothing you'll ever do will satisfy him. If you become president he'll say that you still should do better. He'll question and criticize everything you do, and completely ignore every of your achievement (unless you really impress him). [/QUOTE]
My cousin is in this boat.
OP, do whatever you can to salvage the relationship, my cousins is permanently ruined because of this. You don't know what you have till it's gone, don't give up on it and feel regret over "what I could of done" like my cousin does. It's unhealthy for the mind and takes away from valuable processes you could spend on better things.
Talk to him at the very least. Any effort is better than none.
Don't worry, it'll be ok. Just try to get on his nice side. If not, just move out.

"You lucky bastard"
[QUOTE=Squeaken;21896583]Before he ditched my family my dad used to beat me. OP should enjoy what he has.[/QUOTE]
OP is an ungrateful ass.
If your asking for his credit card for games, try pay the money back for the cost of the games.
I hate dads like these.
If I was a dad, I'd always love my son. I mean seriously, even at the end of the day, he's my [B]son[/B]. I'm literally a part of him.
Why would I ever hate him?
[QUOTE=Keeshond v2;21897066]And a mum.
Have you ever thought that mabey he has better things to spend his money on then games? What kind of financial situation is he in?[/QUOTE]
It was MY money I was just using his credit card because I'm not old enough to have one.
Go see your mum, no point staying if he isn't at all kind to you.
You don't talk to him and things are just gon' get worse.
I live with both of my parents. They have never divorced. fuck you
He probably isn't that bad... he probably thinks he's a bastard because he asked for something and his dad didn't give it to him. No... not a blowjob...
Maybe you should just talk it out with him. He seems to not want to be in the situation he's in, and just wants you to not end up like he did.
Speak to your dad about it.
[U]Talk.[/U]
I can see where your dad's coming from, I don't like you either.
Well, you're coming to that important bridge. You're becoming more independent and you're showing that to him through your actions and words. He realizes this and he's pissed that he's losing that last bit of control he had over you. He'll get over it.
If reasoning with him doesn't work, shit everywhere. EVERYWHERE.
[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;21896478]My dad broke up with my mum after a long time of trying to stick around for me and my siblings. We liked our mum more than our dad because she was around for most of our life and the only memories of a kid with my dad around was running away from him when he got angry because he slapped me once.
My dad got married a couple of years ago again to some young European lady who fucked him over.
Most of the time my dad is working, at a friends place or sleeping. He works night shift work on weekends and works weekdays.
He tells me that smoking is bad and makes fun of smokers, but I know he smokes, I've found cigarettes around the house. He always yells at me if I don't get high marks because "it was easy for me in school you should get marks like me". He never attempts to take interest in anything I do and he doesn't care to get to know me because he thinks he already does.[/QUOTE]
That's only because he cares about you.
If he didn't care about you he'd let you do whatever you'd like.
"Go do whatever the fuck you want."
Even though he smokes, he tells you not to smoke because he knows it's bad, It's hard to stop smoking after you've started.
He's yelling at you for not getting high marks because he wants you to be able to live a better life than him.
