As everyone knows fathers day is coming up..... they talk about it on the radio and tv...... ive never had a father ... its never bothered me before that my father was never around or that i never even met him until last year...... my t brought it up and it made me want to know who he was for some reason,..... even growing up i never really wanted to know or ask questions...... i mean yeah in the back of my mind it was there but it didnt seem that important for me to know.... well the end of last year i finally asked my mom and it took alot to get her to tell me who he was.. then i find out and im truely disappointed..... im just so angry at my "father" and theres nothing i can do about it cause hes dead..... i dont know why im posting this... sorry im just ranting again......

Hi Skittles,

I struggle with father's day for a different reason. My dad died almost 7 years ago and it still seems like yesterday.

I'm sorry you're suffering.......Tranquility

Someone similar story...thought I would share so you knew your were not alone...

My father left when I was 10-12 years old...never came back..he died in 2005...

Out of all of this I vowed that I would never ever abandon my children and that I would be the father to them that he never was to me...

This father day is sad and happy...sad that I really had no father and happy to know my children know what a real father is...

Skittles, I am sorry about your father. I can relate to missing a father in your life—although mine has not died—that must be so much harder. My father was/is an alcoholic and was never there for me. I am now 36 and we have spoken once in the past 10 years—that was by accident—his last words to me were—well I can’t write them here because they were a string of profanity ending in bi***.

I am so fortunate that a step father came into my life when I was a teenager. He has shown me nothing but unconditional love and support. He is the best thing since sliced bread! I wish you could experience that…
