Family, Awkward and Miscellaneous: Today, my father asked me to never contact him again. The reason?...

By forgottendaughter - 17/01/2010 14:41 - South Africa

Today, my father asked me to never contact him again. The reason? His "new" family doesn't know I exist and explaining that he has a 28 year-old daughter to his wife and his other children would be "awkward". I have siblings that I will never meet. FML

Today, my family keeps pestering me about whether I've contacted my father yet. My father, the one who treated me and my family like crap throughout my upbringing and cheated on my mom a few years ago. I don't know why they think I'd ever want to see him again. FML

Today, my dad asked me to stop calling him "dad" because it’s too weird for his girlfriend’s kids to hear, because they call him dad. FML

Today, my deadbeat dad threatened to press charges against me for harassment if I ever contact him again. I've contacted him twice in the last two years, once to tell him he was going to be a grandfather, and once to send him a birthday card from my son. FML

Today, my father called me to ask what my middle name is. He apparently needed to know it to remove me out from his will. FML

We Are Family

Today, I met my paternal grandparents for the first time, since my dad was never in my life and my mom wouldn’t talk about him. According to them, I have at least 28 other siblings from him, and who knows how many that haven’t come forward. No wonder my mom always hated him. FML

Today, I got the guts to call my dad for the first time in nine years. He said he "almost didn't remember" he "had another daughter." Another? FML

Today, my estranged father died. No one bothered to tell me, and the only reason I found out was because his wife texted my sister. When I asked about the service, I was told I was no welcome in the state he had lived in, because I was no longer family. FML

Today, I was pulled aside by my father's new wife and told, "You're not your dad's favorite anymore and you need to stop acting like it." FML

Today, my dad's face flushed when I introduced him to my new boyfriend. I live in a small town, and it turns out my dad recognized him. He's the secret child from an affair two decades ago. He's my half-brother. FML

Tell him that he can't contact you either because it would be awkward explaining to your new dad.

Sounds like you're better off without someone like that in your life.

I feel so bad for you! It must feel like he is like disowning you. He really isn't worth it, so don't even bother. You should block him out of your life, and if he feels like being part of your life in the future just ignore his pansy ass and get on with your own shit.

presumably he hasn't been in your life up until now so you won't miss him much once he's gone. I know it's disappointing and hurtful, but families are made not forced. If he is not man enough to deal with the consequences of his actions with his new family, then you don't need him. The people who love you and care for you and who have your back even when its inconvenient are the ones that matter. Whether they're blood or not. Anyone who doesn't do that isn't worth it. Blood or not.

You're better off without that scumbag excuse for a father. You should still show up at his house unexpectedly just so his new family knows the kind of man he truly is.
