He once was awesome. When I was young, he had anger issues, in fact he broke my commodore 64, and I'm not blaming it on him, but I have had anger issues for all my life since. 2 years ago, he was kicked out by my mum. I was stubborn, he asked if I would care if he left, I said something like "not bothered". I did care, I just can not show emotion to family for some reason. So he started lifting and got pretty buff, fucked women from dating sites too. He was cool. Then he started going out with a bitch. He constantly complained that he couldn't pay child support ( He could, as you will see later ) and we need it. He came round our house at one point, we exchanged pissed off-ness. ( my mum rightfully said something to her on facebook, the girlfriend posted a status on facebook about it, I wrote a fuckton about how much of a slut she is etc etc. She was sad, and I still say good riddance to her. My dad is currently in Spain, probably with her. He never told us he was going on a holiday to Spain. He claims he can't pay child support. So currently it's just coming out of his wages.
tl;dr: woman corrupted dad and now he's a bit of a dick.
My dad grew up dirt poor in South Africa with an absentee father, going from one juvenile detention center to another (even getting put in adult prison as a teenager at one point because he kept escaping), fled from South Africa when he was drafted (because there was a war against blacks during apartheid and he refused to do it) and would have probably been assassinated / thrown in prison for treason if he didn't seek asylum in Australia. He even met Malcolm Frasier when coming over here (former PM). Despite all that, he studied/worked like hell and he's a senior editor of The Age. I respect him to the max.
I couldn't imagine a day without my Dad. He loves making silly, nerdy jokes, that even to this day, I find really funny. He's a math genius, a master with computers, and he's always good to us. There are times when he loses his temper and starts yelling, but none of us could stay mad at each other for an entire day, things are worked out in the end. He's an amazing cook, a great singer, has a nice taste in music, he and my Mom both work hard to support my sister and me as we climb our way through high school (And as I get ready to depart for college at the end of this coming school year), and he's the best Dad a son could ask for.
I really really love my dad. But he has diabetes and i fear that he might die soon because of it.
Anyways sometimes he's usually on a bad mood on the morning that he curses alot.
Overall i really love him.
[QUOTE=Lucorio;36953234]Do any FPers aspire to be fathers one day?[/QUOTE]
I will. My dad has allways seen me as a piece of shit, useless moron. Everything I do is bad to him. Still I'm not the one who makes the bad descisions, he does.
When I get old enough I will prove to him that I can do better than him. He couldn't take care for us at all. So I'm gonna find a descent wife and raise children, that's my main goal because that means you're a man, and you got a life.
I don't particularly like mine.
Yeah I like my Dad. He's not as funny as he thinks he is though.
[QUOTE=polarbear.;36948398]No, abusive, alcoholic piece of shit. I wouldn't care much if he died tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
Put sleeping pills in his beer,rape him and bury him in the yard.
I used to when I was young. I loved him so much, but then he ruined our family by having an affair and lying about it for years while also putting my mom through hell so I don't care about him anymore.
I guess I do a little. He pays for my college and stuff. I just hate how we've been basically poor for the past few years because we never see.any of the money. While he was still married to my mom he bought his girlfriend a fucking house. A HOUSE.
I don't know, I guess it all boils down to when I come out as transgender to him. If he hates me I'll tell him the feeling is mutual.
I love my dad, he's always been there for me.
No, he can go burn in hell. 17 years of abuse until I actually left his fucking reign of terror.
My dad always supported me in what I did and taught me how to be a man and therefore I thank him and will forever love him.
I love my father, even though we go head to head on a lot of issues.
My father and my get along most of the time, And the times we don't, It's because we're so damn similar. So Yes,I love my dad.
When I was a child he was an abusive, unfaithful, an alcoholic and a gambler. I never hated him though, since he was the one who created a life for us and he was the one wrecked it. In any case, I never felt entitled to the life I had before, even if it didn't last long.
He has a new family now, but he still meets with me and my sister from time to time. I feel that he really cares about me and my sister, though I suppose we get along better since we don't see each other every day.
This thread is sad as shit.
Not really, never got close to him. Half of the time he was in jail and the other half he was in the streets doing some kind of illegal shit.
I've seen my dad, like, 7 times. He lives in town, but doesn't want to do jack shit in our lives (:v:)
