Very few of you know this (like, my closest friends here...Trent and Tosoto, to name some of you), but I've never met my father; he just walked out on my mom when she was pregnant with me. He did come back just once to see me when I was a week old...but that's it.

I was randomly looking up names on myspace, and I decided to see if he posted a profile...and it looks like he did. Everything matches, but I won't try to contact him until I'm truly sure.

I'll only post his once I know it's him.

I met my dad after I turned 18

[Dude Man]

Whoa. That's kinda...werid. I allways knew my dad. I thought I was far away from him,  because I only see him at least once a week.

And now, there's people who do even know there dad. Geez.

[Mark of the Dragon]

I'm hoping I'll be able to meet him soon...

[Spyder]

Honestly, I don't think it'd be such a fantastic idea. Why do you want to meet him? He's obviously an ass hole that cared nothing for your or your mother. Now of course you could claim that there's a possibility that he's changed, but if that were honestly true, he would've contacted you by now, wouldn't he?

On a semi-positive note, the cause, or at least partial cause, of your cutting addiction is becoming more apparent...

[matt72186]

Yeah, when I met my dad, he was a changed man.  Apparently he cheated on my mom when I was 1 or 2, and she left him.  He has a new family now, a wife and three kids (1 more on the way).  I'm just staying out of his life though, I don't think he had much interest to meet me anyway, he hasn't contacted me since November, even though I have sent him a few emails.

[Mark of the Dragon]

He has a whole new family of his own now. But still...I feel that I must talk to him just once...

[Dude Man]

Probabbly wouldn't be a pleasent conversation. I'd probabbly tell him off if I were you. Hell I'd dragon kick the guy in the face  Razz .  Not that you should do that... <_<

[Mark of the Dragon]

I couldn't bring myself to tell him off...it's my father...

[Dude Man]

I'm surprized. Most people wouldn't even want anything to do with there father, if they never met them. Well I know I would. If my dad ran off before I was born, I'd hate him.

[Mark of the Dragon]

I thought I hated him for the longest time...but in all honesty, I hated myself...I always blamed myself for him running off. If my mom hadn't had me, he wouldn't have run off like that.

[Spyder]

Honestly man, what would you say to him if you were to meet him? Do you think he would actually be happy to see you? You may end up causing problems with his current family because his new wife and kids may have no idea he had another child. He could get extremely angry. I really don't think you've thought this through very well. Biologically he's your father, yes, but in an emotional sense, which, BTW, is actually the important part, he's nothing, and to him, you are the same.

[Dude Man]

Listen MotD. It's not your fault. Yeah, if your mom never had you, he wouldn't of ran off. But what is your fault you came into this world? No. It was your fathers. You did nothing at all. It's entirely your fathers fault, that he ran off. He shouldn't have even ran off. Saying it's your fault for him running away is kinda like saying it's USA's fault for the WTC bombing because they build it there.

[Spyder]

Actually his father likely would've left his mom eventually. He clearly did not care enough about her to take responsibility and provide for her and their child.

[Dude Man]

Yeah, even more of a reason for MotD not to blame himself.
