My dad doesn't live at home either... Quite a bit of the time I miss him [I actually dont see him at all] and I feel sad about it and stuff but then other times I just feel angry and upset about it because he was a moron and shouted all the time, he had hit me in the past and had his hands round my neck...., to be honest he scares the living daylights outta me. So I always feel confused because my feelings about it are so conflicting and its really hard because he makes me feel like rubbish but I love him anywya because he is my dad and I need him.
Yes, My dad lives up north and i dont get to see him very often i know its not the same with not having him there all the time but what i do when i feel down is spend time on my own or with my friends because then you know that you ahve people to talk to and you dont end up getting too upset
i dont have a mum and im fine tbh if they left thats there fault there the ones missing out on your life i no its upsetting but you will get over it honestly x
i live with my mum, but not my dad i see him everyother weekend i miss him actually but i kindda feel bad about miising him cuz he like left my mum so its llike his fault and then i dont know how to feel its hard but it sorts out after awhilke soz if this didnt help
yeah my parents are just getting divorced. my dad left my mum
it may seem like the end of the world now, but i promise it will get better soon
best wishes 4 the future

Yeah
My parents split up nearly two years ago. My dad used to be horrible and stuff sometimes too. At the beginning of them splitting up i didnt want anything to do with my dad. I realise now that i do still want my dad in my life. My bro goes 2 c him every other weekend. Possibly getting a stepdad, but my mum and him argue so much. Realising that i might get a stepdad has made me want to be closer to my dad. How do u feel?

My parents went to court 2 years ago but they are still arguing now. My dad is married to 17 year old women older than him and i hate her. I love my dad and i want 2 see hime everyother weekend but not my stepmum help! Does anyone feel the same reply!!!!
yea, i havent seen nor heard from my dad for 5-6 years. He lives in a different country, and has his own family. I dont think he intends to see me, however the last time i saw him we just kind of looked at each other and didnt talk much which was really awkward. I do think about my dad and feels like he doesnt love or care about me, and i dont think he wants me anymore, it just brings tears to my eyes and upsets me x
Hi,
my parents are in the middle of getting the divorce right now, my dad has moved further up north and is living with his new girlfriend. i used to see my dad every saturday but now i dont see him at all, he told me that he wasnt going to call me anymore on the night of my 13th birthday. It was hard at the time but its better now, talking to my friends and family really help!
My dad lives on the other side of the world, in the Phillipines. I have only ever seen him twice but am going to see him again soon. I am nervous because he speaks a different language I can't really understand him. It feels like I'm talking to a stranger, not my dad. Since I last saw him he has got married and had a son. I'm really happy because I've always wanted a brother so it's worth going to see him.
