My dad has allways been down on his luck, and is recently going through a messy separation with his 3rd wife and the threat of loseing his job too.
I wish i could do more to help him, if i had the money i could just buy him a mansion far away from all the bullshit so he can live happy for once.
Seems like bad luck is a family curse.
I love my dad, even if he does do weed heaps.
My dad beats me everyday and does nothing but watch porn and go to work occasionally. It's surprising how my family gets by.
Can I borrow your dad, for like a week?
Go hug him. Now.
I remember when my dad died of lung cancer a few years ago. He was almost 50. One of the last things he told me was that he was proud of me and that no matter what I said or did he would always love me. I was out of town when he passed away, and I regret it, because I wasn't able to tell him I loved him face to face until it was too late. God, I miss him sometimes.
This is cute; and you managed to post this on FacePunch without getting shit on and torn apart.
Your dad sounds very interesting, enjoy his mind while you can.
Dad threads are sooo last hour. Seriously, your dad is awesome, you should bake him a cake or something!
Aww, wish I had a father like that.
Mine has been absent from my life for around 15 years (I'm almost 16). He doesn't like paying child support, and he refused to come up to my state and visit me when I wanted him to.
I pretty much started screaming at him last time we talked and told him he is a shitty parent and should never have reproduced and that I hope his other kids hate him.
This thread made me realize how separated from my dad I've become. :(
Be glad you have a father...
That's great man, all my dad ever did was tell me how worthless I am. It's made my life really great.
[QUOTE=Thomas849;19658456]This thread made me realize how separated from my dad I've become. :([/QUOTE]
Me too man, me too! :crying:
This thread reminds me how dad is trying to protect me, but at the same time killing off my teenage years. :crying:
My dad's in prison for attempted murder so I never got any of these heart warming talks :crying:
[sp]Protip: do not stab police officers with a switchblade when they are trying to apprehend you for being drunk and then run away from it and attempt to stab your wife all because she's the one that called the cops.[/sp]
I hate my father, for almost killing us several times.
Next time i see him, i'll break his face. :buddy:
Your dad is a sex machine, make him proud, boy.
You have a lovely father.
[QUOTE=Kazumi;19654440]Though even if your dad did some questionable stuff back in the days, this proves that he's a good man. As you said, he's getting old. You should spend more time with him. Where was he from originally?
And somehow it is always hard to see your old man cry. Fuck, this brings back some memories.[/QUOTE]
I've only ever seen my dad cry once. When we were burring a cat he swore he hated. It was chilling.
My dad joined the Air Force young. Did that until someone told him US Customs was developing a K9 Unit. So he joined into that and just rode it where it took him. We have a room full of plaques he won, Including a Commissioners Citation, and pictures of a huge drug bust. He then retired around the age of 54, at this time he was the Chief of Outbound Operations at the Houston seaport. The next year he got a job in Afghanistan as a Base Mentor so we could continue paying off the bills. He then got promoted the Executive Mentor and works a desk job(mostly) in the US Embassy. We haven't talked to him in about a week because he's off doing something we can't really discuss until hes done... He already Retired, yet he [I]chose [/I]a job in Afghanistan just so we could live a better life.
During Christmas while he was here for 2 weeks, we had found a WWI picture of my great grandpa. You see, every male in my family had been in the military. It was my dream to join the Air Force, however due to medical reasons, I can't. Around then we were talking about my brothers in the Air Force, and my mom mentioned about how she knew I wanted to join badly. My dad said: "There's other ways to serve your country than the military." Just the whole situation made it that much more painful. I nearly cried then and there. I'm the only male in [I]my[/I] recent bloodline to not be in the military, and I feel terrible about it, even though there's nothing I can do. Naturally I feel like an "anchor" so to speak on my family. Every time dad says he's proud of me for whatever it may be for, I feel like crying. I can only hope I'm half as good a dad as he is.
Aww...
When i read about what you're dad has done, an image of sam fisher appeared in my head
does your dad look like sam fisher?
[QUOTE=Jonathan1321;19653546]Basically your dad is a dick and im sorry to say this but he is a alcoholic and the best thing you can do for yourself and for him is to be forward to him about it! Tell him you don't want him to be like that and that if he carries on the way he is he is going to lose you and your younger sister[/QUOTE]
You're a fucking moron.
He's old and only drinks once a week now, he's not harming anyone and taking away his drink completely could lead to depression etc.
Heart warming story OP.
It's wierd to think that we talk to some people on FP who have really wierd lives.
My dad had a heartattack, that was probably the shittiest 14 days of my life, but he survived after all :buddy:
My dad is an asshole.
What happened to the good old days, when men were men and didn't have 'feelings'?
I wish I had a father figure now... Someone I can talk to to discuss guy stuff. Stuff I can't tell my mum. :frown:
I love my dad. He always looks for some outdoors type thing for me to do, like Deer Hunting, Fishing, Pheasant Hunting, and Ice Fishing. I love ice fishing, and I can whoop his ass at it :P
My dad is great, but he's been very stressed out and irritable this past year due to the economy.
This is such a nice thread.
[QUOTE=Kai365;19652828]Go give him a hug.[/QUOTE]
Yeah but when he's not drunk.
Even though my father is an asshole at times I couldn't figure out what to do if he died or where to go to with my problems, my mom tends to overreact to anything and my dad helps me out.
