I need help or opinions on what people think of this. My father and mother split when I was 5. I saw him on and off until I was 11. I moved cities so did not see him for a few years. When I was 14, I went to visit him and he picked me up from the airport. We went to his house and the next day he was gone as he had to work. He did not come home for a week.... and I started to wonder what the hell was going on. I called the local bar where I knew he always went and they paged him to come to the phone. When he answered he was drunk and said he would come home that night. He did not come home. The next day I was so sad, I changed my plane ticket (by myself at 14 years old). The day after, I flew home without seeing my dad. That was the last time we saw each other. I have spoken to him a few times over the year when my grandmother died, but it was only because I was executor of the will and he wanted to know what was happening with his money. OK So here is what I need help with.... he called me the other day.. crying (drunk) telling me how much he loved me and how he had no idea of who I was until he bumped into a family friend. This phone call sent me in hysterics as I have always longed for my father to love me. Please let me know your thoughts if Im reading to much into his bull or should I give him chance. we have not spoken since his drunken call.
