How does a Paraplegic keep touching you eh?
Touch his penis.
I had no contact with my dad for 6 years, starting at six and I saw him again when I was twelve.
Mainly because he was framed, sent to prison for two years, then bouncing around everywhere for another four.

With his arms and hands.

I barely ever talk with my father, I see him maybe twice a year and he calls me once in 2 months or so.
It's not that we fight and shit, we just don't have really anything to talk about.
I noticed my dad going all :smith: when we were watching a documentary about the 2004 Tsunami and one dad in it said "I wish we would have been closer." about his doughter who died on that day.
[QUOTE=StormHammer;24355027]How is he a paraplegic and "slams things around" ?[/QUOTE]
He still has full use of his arms. He can still slam doors and cupboards.
[QUOTE=CactusCocktail;24346896]All right, so I live with my mom. My dad is a paraplegic and lives in a totally different city. We rarely see each other, and I have little incentive to call, or even visit.
Every year, I get to see him twice. But since I'm getting older, seeing him is harder than ever. He never remembers anything I tell him, he doesn't even try to. He knows more about his new girlfriend's kids than me.
Along with that, he's constantly touching me. It's almost borderline sexual harassment because it's always my legs and thighs. And I can't stand it. He doesn't understand personal boundaries. Then I tell him to stop touching me, and he gets all pissy, and slams around. I ask him what's the matter and he yells nothing at me.
Not as important as the other things, he treats me like I'm seven. I'm turning sixteen in a couple months.
My problem is that I don't know how to talk to him about it without putting him into a pissy mood.
Because of this, I don't want to see him, because it's like this every visit, and the more I tell him not to, the pissier he gets.
tldr; My dad doesn't know anything about me, gets up in my personal space, and then get pissy really easily.[/QUOTE]
Paraplegics can't touch anywhere lower then the chest.
Why would he stand up to touch your face.

Trying to imagine a paraplegic slamming around
ITT: We point out our father issues.
I moved to Iowa in 2007, saw my dad once for thanksgiving 2008. Haven't talked to him since early July or late June. He doesn't take the incentive to call so neither do I. He pays the child support and gets me something for Christmas and my birthday (though in 2008 I didn't get anything because he set up a "bank account" in a bank thats only in Washington). We've never really talked, it's always been one awkward conversation after the next, mainly because my step mom is an over bearing bitch.
I miss my dad :frown:

Everyone here does know Cactus is a girl right?
Both my parents are amazing and I love them but I can barely talk to my dad. I think the reason for that is that when I was younger (like 10 and under) I had a tendency to be a know-it-all and say things without being able to back them up and I made bad jokes. Whenever I did this and my dad was around he'd make fun of me for it and never hear the end of it.
I'm not really a know-it-all anymore and my jokes aren't as bad (they aren't toilet humour anymore) but I still can't act natural around him for fear of being judged by him.
pretty minor shit compared to what you guys have posted
[QUOTE=technologic;24360235]Everyone here does know Cactus is a girl right?[/QUOTE]
The leg touching would still be damn weird regardless.
I haven't spoken or seen my dad in something like six years. I couldn't care less really, he was never involved with my upbringing.

oh my god this.
[QUOTE=Adventbishop;24353583]My dad smokes pot... but tells me not to do it.[/QUOTE]
My grandpa smokes and grows his own weed.
Beat that.
[QUOTE=Afgman;24347831]The fuck? Your dad should not touch a grown man like that.[/QUOTE]
Sixteen is hardly a grown man. (If you were on about the OP.)
Either way, man, teen, child, it's wrong no matter what.
[QUOTE=Glitch360;24346948]He loves you, but not in the father-son way :smug:[/QUOTE]
That's because OP is a girl.
