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

Quality family time

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, 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 not welcome in the state he had lived in, because I was no longer family. 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, 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.

I think you should show up to his house after a calling him a massive amount of times, and pretend your his 28 year old girlfriend(:

That is pretty ****** up, to be honest, but unfortunately, they are his kids and so it is his choice. Wait until they are 18, and legally emancipated (if 18 is the legal age of emancipation in your state/country/region) and then contact them if you still feel the same way. That way you have behave completely impeccably and they and he will have nothing to reproach you for. They will also be mature enough to decide what they want.

Is he also a serial killer named Arthur Mitchell who builds houses for Four Walls? And you try to cover for him by killing Agent Lundy so the police wouldn't find out about him?

Heartbreaking. Personally, I'd call everyday until he manned up.

Show up on his doorstep with a copy of your birth certificate, and a "welcome to the family" present for the new relatives.

uhm, I don't think so. Show up to the house unannounced and make sure you give a piece of your mind infront of his "family" No father should pull off shit like that towards their children. If he is living with them or not.
