Basically how my life worked too, and yes those pictures did make me feel a bit uneasy. Last time I talked to my dad was when I asked for him to pay for my Eve account, now I don't feel all too enthusiastic D: think I'm gonna call him, thanks for making this thread but I feel like a bastard D:!Brawndo said:
What an odd meme, kind of a so-uncomfortable-it's-funny idea I suppose. My relationship with my old man, despite its near-infinite issues, is hardly this pathetic half-abandonment this Dragonite is experiencing.
Never had a father. I was a prom accident and they never married, so I only saw him once when I was like 4 or something. Distant with my mom now, she'd rather live in a barracks up at the base than here, so I never see her anymore. Even before she left, we never talked anyway, since she practically disowned me in all but name once I turned 15.
Wow, that is sad. I have a pretty poor relationship with my Dad. When my parents split up they wasted six years fighting over custody of me and my brother. In the end, it was just easier to side with my mom and leave my Dad.
I have spent the time since I left school working bit by bit to patch things up with him because I really do love him and the similarities between us are staggering. Yet at the same time, the fundamental differences in our beliefs seem to perpetually stymie every attempt I make. It doesn't help that he expects me to respect him but he still doesn't respect me.

Yes, I lost respect because he started smoking again. He stopped acting years ago (where he picked it up) and stopped smoking before my brother and I were born. He is an intelligent person who is a respected electrical engineer at the company where he works. He is a voice of reason most of the time, and the same person who tells me to not do drugs and stuff like that.Tdc2182 said:
I think hypocrisy is plenty of reason to lose respect for somebody. And yes, it is a bit of a sensitive issue. Sorry if I come off as argumentative.
When I was growing up me and my parents got into it all the time. My mom would usually just storm off and me and my dad we scream at each other.
Moving out on my own was the best thing that could have happened for all of us. We still talk a couple of times a week, and I go hang out at my parents house at least once a week. It's not the healthiest relationship, but we're on good terms now at least.

I have a scathing hatred for my father.
A man who is a sex addict and borderline pedophile. A man who during my childhood would rather have spent his time shooting heroin and banging transsexual hookers.
To this man the thought never once crossed his mind to even attempting to be a father to me.
My stepfather was better in the sense that he only beat me and molestation was never something to fear from him.
The Dragonite-dad meme pisses me off because it just reminds me for something I will never have.

that is sad. the bonds in my immediate family(with the exception of my oldest sister) have always been strong. I'm really the only family my dad has in the area so we make time to see each other. Besides that, my dad is awesome. you'd be hard pressed to find a man more interesting and appreciated by his family and peers. Us Lings are a good lot and unknowingly leave a bigger mark on people than we realize. Usually in a positive manner. I can say we've had our differences, still do but really whether I vote one way and he another shouldn't affect the great relationship we share. I can honestly say I love my dad, and without having to hear it, know he feels the same.
It's pretty good.
He's nice and all, but we don't really do anything together or share many interests.
But I did get him Bejeweled 3 for Christmas...And boy, is he fucking addicted to Butterflies mode thanks to me.

It's really weird giving a game download as a present to your father.

I sent a text to Dad, letting him know that he's a legend after reading this thread.
Ungrateful kids don't fucking deserve parents.

I couldn't stand my dad because we were just too damn different for us to get along when I was younger, but more recently we've been getting along pretty well. My only problem now is that he still has quite a bit of anger issues and doesn't seem to understand that me saying I'm going to do something doesn't mean I'm going to do it that second.
i do not like my father, period. it'll take more than a genetic link to make me assosiate myself with people like him
