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 date suggested we go to 10:30 p.m. movie so we could "talk" in the car afterwards, when the parking lot was empty. Thus, at 1 a.m., I thought we were going to make out. However, he only asked where I get my car air freshener from, had me write down the scent, and then suggested we go home. FML

Today, I underwent several cardiac tests involving heart monitoring nodes placed all over my chest. The lab techs didn't pre-shave the areas and yanked out big clumps of chest hair as they removed the 10 nodes. They laughed, and said it could take up to a year for the hair to grow back. FML

Sorry OP. I would say your best chance is to leave him alone and maybe wait until he comes around. Nothing much you can do there. Hope you two can have a better relationship on the future.

I don't mean to be that guy, but I don't think he is someone you ever really want in your son's or your own life. Unless he makes a complete reform, he seems like one of those people that is pointless to have in your life. The only thing he seems to be able to do is cause you pain and trouble. Even if he contacts you, I feel it would be best to keep him out of your life.

I think there's a silver lining to this, as it is now explicitly clear that he isn't the kind of guy you'd want to have as your dad, or grandad to your child.
