Girs What role does your father play in your life?

[t2dakwont]

my dad was in my life on and off when i was younger. he'd come and take me to the movies, his house, and stuff like that until the day he and my moms got back together. since then he's been living with us and is pretty distant. its sad but it feels like i live in the house with a stranger. my dad even admits that he has "lost me". i've always said that if he were to pass away today i would feel so guilty but at the same time it wouldnt be too hard to handle. i know thats such a sad thing to say but its the truth. as im in college i am trying to undo this lost connection but the busier i get with trying to live my life the more distant we become.

my mom on the other hand is just...i couldnt imagine life without her. she's been through abusive relationships (not wit my dad) and everything inbetween. she always told me how not to depend on a man. she's been there for me for everything. she and i would butt heads nonstop while i was in high school but now that im away at skool i miss her so much. the day she dies...man, im going to just lose it

When i moved to florida and the relationship between my father and i was going a tad bit sour he said the same thing.. he thought he was loosing me. At least knowing ya pops is better than wondering where he is and why he isnt there u know. So even though there is a strain in the relationship there is always that chance to sit your dad down and talk about why things are the way they are even though it would be kinda awkward but its worth it because guilt is one of the worse feelings especially when you cant go back and right the wrongs.

You know, the number of young ladies that grew/grow up without a father is is astonishing - to me especially. My father has always been there for myself and my sister, so when I date a girl and find out that there is yet another female who has grown up without a make figure in her life, I grow concerned. I don't care what anyone says, a girl needs a make figure in her life. A mother can't show a girl EVERYTHING about being a lady. There's some things that only a man can teach his daughter. Through her father, a girl learns what to expect from a man, how she should be treated, how she should behave, in addition to other things. I'm not saying that a fatherless household produces a bad product, however, the outcome could be better were there at least a male figure around. It sucks to have to deal with a girl who has trust issues or doesn't know how to behave because she was never told (yeah, there's even 24 year olds that haven't quite caught on either). When I get more wild looks from a young woman because I helped her with her jacket than general acceptance, that's a damn problem.

My daddy plays a major part in my life. My parents have been married 24 years come November 26. I'm very blessed to have had both of my parents involved in my life. I think I'm the only one in my inner circle that has a relationship with their father. Some of my friends don't even know who their fathers are. It's quite a reality shock. I love my daddy to death. I am a true "daddy's girl". I'm closer to my daddy than I am to my mother. We always kick it together like i'm 7 years old. My daddy gives me the world because my sisters and I were always throught that we deserved just that, the world. Even though we argue, I still love and respect that man. He has no sons so the headaches that my sisters and I give him are nothing but pure hell. If he can go through that stiill today, he's a superman. My daddy loves my mom so much. She's ill right now and he stays beside her no matter what. That's true love. I want a man like my daddy. They really don't make them like that anymore though but I won't stop searching. And he won't let me settle for anything less. I <3 my daddy

Well according to my mom, the last time my dad saw me was when I was two. I don't know anything about him. I have no clue about what he looks like. I think about him sometimes. I can't say that I am really mad at him.Okay maybe a little bit but dealing with my mom can be VERY HARD! If anything I'm mad at him for not coming to get me so I could spend time with him instead of being stuck at home with her. The city he lives in is right next to my city. Maybe if I can find a way to contact him, I will send him a ticket to my graduation.

I can only really remember seeing my father three times... once when i was like 7, again when i was 12 and the last time was at his funeral. We never had any kind of a relationship with one another. The only thing i knew about him was his name and that he was my father, i could look at him and tell that much. I understand now why he wasnt around much. My father was heavy into the drugs and didnt want me to see him like that. Its hard to say whether i should have been mad or grateful that he didnt come around. I jus wish that we could have talked or something b4 he passed away.
