Today, my father who left my family over 10 years ago and never contacted us or paid child support, poked me on Facebook. FML

my mother died but that's still luckier than having a deadbeat dad. at least my mother gave me a great childhood while she was here, of which a deadbeat dad isn't capable
although, if you are young, I suppose the years of separation are similar and that's just awful to experience.

I found my dad. My mom did great though she loved me each and every day life wasn't perfect but someone was there, 142 days ago (October 15 2010) she committed suicide in her bathroom. Not a day goes buy that I dont wish i could go back and change that day that i could stop her, or at the very least take back things i have said throughout my life or tell her that she was my world, Dont live with regret let him back in, Life is filled with us making mistakes, and if i know one thing its dont live with regret, dont surround yourself with the "what ifs" . He deserves another shot.

Wait, if he "never contacted them" why is he OP's friend in the first-place? Don't you have to to poke?

I never did and never will understand why people put personal information of others (like, suicide) on the internet, so that everybody (who, honestly, absolutely doesn't care) can read it. If the FML was about suicide or lost, I could understand it a tiny little bit. But it's about a useless father. Not to be rude, but 18's comment doesn't seem to belong in this FML.
The father of my partner has run away, changed his back name, never paid child support, left his wife and child with debts...I see no reason why my boyfriend should ever forgive him.

Hey 18 you don't have to go around telling everyone how your parents died, it's sad yes, but this site seems to be for entertaining purposes. Why didn't you just write an Fml about it..?

I honestly wouldn't give a shit if either of my parents died (I see my dad like once a year and he's a piece of shit) and I don't see why anyone else would either

'can't anyone tell a story without getting accuse?'
This is FML, a site where people post their funny/sad/awkward stories and other people comment about it. This is not a site where we help people deal with their emotional problems, how bad they even are. This is not the 'post the story of your life' site. Goodies comment simply does not fit in this FML, and yes, I think we have the right to say that. Otherwise we are encouraging other people to post things that does not belong here. I also find it very inappropriate from Goodie to tell so much details about the death of his mother on the internet. Personal stuff should not be thrown on the internet, but I've told him that already.

115, you are a classic example of a douchebag. his parents died, but you go ahead and be an asshole. I mean I can see if you didn't know and he made any other comment, but it's not right to be an ass to someone that just explained his parents are dead. think first, then speak.

Your a cruel person for sure and if you dont like it dont read it. Like honestly you want detail what u want the gun? caliber? fuck i could give uevery word of the note she was holding! like honestly i dont say this alot but fuck you.

Djeepee, that's just cruel. No need to try so hard to strictly follow all the rules. Btw, if FMyLife is supposed to be funny, then what's up with all the trolling and the bitchy comments that make up 80% of all the comments here?
goodies, I feel sorry for your loss. There are way too many cruel people on this site.

Those comments are also useless and deserves to be thumbed-down. No, I'm not fond of those either.
But why am I cruel? For following the rules? Because I pointed out that his mothers suicide isn't important in this FML? It's not like I absolutely don't give a fuck, but this is FML, I, and many others, come here to amuse ourself and to discuss the FML, not to read about the hard life of someone else. I simply find it very inappropriate and disturbing to post the exact date of the death of your mother online. Maybe it's because I'm not the emotional type, but if I think that Goodies comment does not fit here, than I may say that. He could just have said 'I have had a very hard life, but I also gave my dad a second change, and it feels good', then it would be appropriate, then it would be useful to the FML. The fact that his mother died three days before my birthday is not. Like I said: don't expect sympathy from the internet. Don't post personal stuff online if you can't stand the fact that others will not be interested in it. Don't.
(oh, and about the second change thing, I think that OP's father must put a little more effort in it than a simple poke if he want a second change. I think that he must prove himself worthy.)

There's nothing relevant about your little sob story. His dad left and then poked him. Your mom offed herself.
Go cry to your friends or a therapist or submit your own FML. Don't take the attention away from the original FML with your "feel sorry for me" comments.

Just pointing out the fact that while you just said you don't need to put personal info online, especially on FML, you DID just quite obviously mention your birthday being extremely close to the date of his mother's demise. Sounds like you may want sympathy on why you didn't like him mentioning it. Poor you.

DJeePee is right. And at least they use grammar. Those who defend are suck up women who want his number because of his picture. Plus that '=/ yah no' shit isn't funny or makes you look like you are smart or whatever you were achieving. It's childish. Like when people say 'NOT!' at the end of something sarcastic.

The way I see it the guy now wants to be the nice father after not doing anything for his children for years. It's rather selfish. If he seeks contact he better apologizes and explains why he left instead of just thinking he can go back like nothing happened. You don't have to make contact with the guy, but it might give you some closure or something. Anyway: the guy's weird.

Jizwold - If you know you're going to abandon your kids, don't even bother reproducing. I'm not sure where you're from that says it's okay to abandon your family before you even know them, but for the sake of your kids, just don't have them.
