Are you a lost boy?

[swaenK]

when I was working at Canadian Tire, one lunch break some one brought up dead-beat dads. Every guy exclaimed how their Dad had never been around for their entire child hood. Mine included (I have met him once in my entire life). I made a joke how every one at Canadian Tire was a group of the lost boys. Kind of gay but not having your dad in your life is pretty bunk. Less money, no male role model in the house hold, etc. If your father is also a really mean asshole who treats your family like shit, I am sure that's also applicable. Any one else out there have no/bad dad as well?

my dad left when i was 2

[AllReligiousDrunk]

I still have my father, but I grew up without him, I never lived with him except from when I've visited him and when I was a small child. I still had a comfortable childhood though, but I'm sure it would've been a bit different with my father around..

Having one family with your real father and mother is a dream though, hehe, lucky kids who've got that!

I didn't know my dad until I was 14, I knew him for a couple of months, then he had a heart attack.

Life's a bitch.

Yeah life is good here too. My mom had to work 3 different jobs at one point just to make rent.

Good for you. Stupid asshole.

My dad was a drunk who cheated on my mom and then divorced her when I was 4. Then, he was supposed to have us at his house every other weekend (fri night-sun night), plus every other holiday, plus a month in the summer, plus dinner once a week.

He took us one night every other week. Most of the time though we would go for a month without seeing him. Never saw him on a holiday. Never spent more than 3 days at his house. Bastard barely fed us when we went there. He only sent $300 a month to us for child support (that was for 3 kids) and got out of alimony. He took care of his new wifes kids better than his real kids. He did everything for them and would rarely ever even rent a movie for us. Now let me ask you, how would you feel if your father would be a loving father to kids that weren't his, and treat his kids like shit? Fuck, I never even met his side of the family. If I were to see one I'd say: "who the hell are you?"

Why am I so pissy all the time? That's why.

I don't have a dad. I don't got a male role model. I don't have any men to look up to. I'd rather not known my father than to have what I have.

[PsycoticDemon]

My parents are still around. I dunno. People use not having a parent around as a scapegoat for pretty much everything.

You can really know unless it happened to you.

I'm not a boy, but.. My dad had a heart attack when I was 11.
Two years ago.
Then again, I hadn't seen him in around two years.
So it's been since I was about 7.
He was never there. :|

[EpicFail]

My dad's great.
it's my mom whom I hate.

[Skygee]

My Mom and Dad are both good, But my Uncle is a Fucking Asswipe.

[Eggys]

Families aren't normal anymore

I've got a good relationship with my dad even though it's not really an honest one. Still I feel bad for those who don't have one.

[RoobyKillAll]

My Dad worked his ass off for me, my two brothers and my Mom. My Mom's having an affair on him and my brother rules the house as a drug lord. Dad's got shit all over for no reason. Keeps his chin up though. Very honorable man, regardless of how much he worked. I know it was all for us even if he wasnt around much.

[rockinspades]

Yeah, I see mine maybe 2-3 times a year for at least a month a pece because I live on the other side of the country from him (he's lived in Massachusetts since I was born and I moved around a lot because I am a military brat due to my step-dad). But I like him a lot and respect him quite a bit.

I have gotten to the age where I like and respect almost all of my 4 parents. We are more friends than the parent/son relationship, and this lifts quite a bit of tension.

That's what I was thinking too. People also seem to think that it makes them cool if they're dad is a drunk bastard who beats his wife and shit. But, I guess I wouldn't know anything about that stuff. I've known and had both my parents for my whole life =P

I love my step-dad, we get along so well and he treats me like his own son... seeing as I've been with him since I was around 4. You can't hate your step-parent you just don't like them.

[ParadoxSaint]

I have a good dad, he's usually not home though because he's an international sales rep and he goes to all these neat places all around the world to support his company. He's a great guy, I guess.

[Piss]

I've had no role models throughout my childhood and adolescence. I was out on my own, and still am.

Your dad's being a bad parent while being hip with the kids.

[alucardxmeow]

My dad left me when I was born, he returned when I was like about 5 years old I think.

He visits now but I still think hes a fucker for leaving my behind.

[punchyguy]

No, but I have a friend who has never met his dad either.Does that count?

[gamemaster93]

My dad kills me via second-hand smoke, then everyone at school thinks I smoke because I smell like smoke, and colonge or deoderant doesn't work, either. Not the worst dad ever, but he's pretty bad. (Also he's divorced)

on the bright side, you made it w/o him!

[Sanjay]

I'm very fortunate to have a father who actively participated in the family as I was growing up.

Papa can you hear me!?

[firemaker60]

People of this generation, prevent this from happening when you're older in order to secure the next generation. Currently in the United States, divorce rate is nearly 50%. We can fix this, and make sure that we don't fail as hard as the last adults.
