who I haven't really spent any time with past the age of 12ish~ today.
My cell started ringing and it said 'private number', so I just answered it. It was really awkward at first, but then it just became a little weird. He basically said "whats up", since we don't know that much about eachother really. Asked how college was going, whether I got a driver's license and/or car yet, work, etc. Overall the call lasted 47 minutes.
My parents split up when I was about 7-8 or so, and finally got a divorce when I was like 12ish~. Up until now I didn't even know where he lived, what he was doing for a living, what he looked like(he emailed me a picture after), etc.
I guess it's a good thing, but I could kind of care less at this point. I don't think of him as my dad when I see or talk to him, more of just a stranger.
I just feel like watching SC now and not thinking about it :0
Also, got C- again on iCCup today. Getting closer to C

That's true. I'm thinking of it when winter comes around and I have some time off work/school |

Not being in contact with your son for pretty much all of his teenage years isn't what I'd call caring. =/ |

There are some days where I feel really... nostalgic, i guess is the correct word. I feel worried about the future of, and i choose this topic because it's popular here, the future of starcraft when sc2 comes out. What will happen to TL? Will huge projects like tlpd be all just a waste? etc etc
Other days I really don't give a shit. There's no such thing as fate. Someone started TLPD, and if it ends up nobody caring about starcraft in the future, than that's life.
I'm sort of feeling the first vibe from your father, and the second from you. I, of course, can't know, and I mean absolutely zero disrespect or insult. |

I bet the dad paid for most of his living expenses during his teenage years.. correct me if im wrong, but i think that's how it's suppose to work. Sure he's been missing for a few years, on the bright side though, you still have plenty of time to make things better again.. Divorce or not, he's still the op's dad. |

True, but you dont know everything about the divorce and the circumstance. Something bad could've happened and his dad couldnt contact or whatever.. buttttt yeahhh your dad is kinda mean for not caring about you all your teenage life 
Good luck with it anyways |

Actually, all my mom got was approx. 65$ a month from him for me, nothing more. And between age 7-12 I would only see him every couple months or so. My mom still rages about that stuff till this day ~_~

^(response to dinmsab)Which is where I probably get that attitude from. Kind of like a 'boy who cried wolf' thing, with him promising all this stuff to us time after time when me and my brothers were younger, but he just ended up moving away. |

| i'm in a similar situation and i really think you should simply force yourself to talk to him more. it's just as much your fault for not taking initiative as it is his for not keeping in touch for you. very difficult (gets annoying, especially when its easy to just erase that part of your life) but its either that or lose a member of your family. i do it because i'm holding out for a day in the future when i can sit back and drink a beer with a dad who left me years ago as a son who forgave him years ago. |

wow, lots of foolish comments being tossed around, but hey it's the internet.
your dad i'm sure cares a lot about you, and if you want to continue or develop that relationship, you're going to have to accept whatever mistakes were made because its too late to change them. you have to make the best of it going forward. |

It's all good man, just even so that he wasn't there all of your teenage life, his now trying to make amends. Go and have a good time with your father, I mean we all have issues and it's great that your father is there to see you. Better to have someone caring for you than no one at all.
Besides, lets just say.. better late than never Last edit: 2009-09-26 16:24:52 |

Win.
But really, this is pretty serious, and when it comes to family you really shouldn't joke about shit like that. |

We've all heard stories of adoptive/separated kids who really want to get to know their biological parents to the point where they seek them out.
But there are also kids who are cool with their situation and really don't care either way.
You seem more like the latter but it's up to you.
Meet him if you want or don't lol. |
