I Dont Know My Father

My mom was an amazing person. She protected my sisters and I greatly. My father was at my birth, but that was the only time I've ever met him and obviously I don't remember it. My was a bad man. he was abusive to my sisters before I was born. I'm glad I never met him.

i grew up without a father too. it's so weird to hear stories from other people about their dads and stuff they do together. my mom raised my brother and me as a single parent. idk if my dad was at my birth or not, but i did meet with him a couple times shortly after i turned 14. i had a lot of hope that he would be nice, but as it turned out he was a very abusive alcoholic who didn't want much to do with anyone but himself. i know the frustration and disappointment you might feel about this. *hugs* things will get better though! you have to be very careful, but you can choose someone to be a father figure and mentor to you, just be sure you can trust them 100% and know them for a couple years before looking at him that way. you can message me if you want to talk about it as well <3

My father was a good man but I did not know who he was inside. I saw only the external. He gave up his power to my mother who was strict and controlling.

How did he abuse your sister?

@thephoenix: he would kick the back of their knees when they would walk up the stairs. One of my sisters told me this story: "He called my name from the bathroom. I thought he needed toilet paper or something, so i came running. When I knocked on the door,he said to come in. I then saw him completely naked standing in the shower. He said, 'let's take a bath together.' I ran out of the bathroom."
She told me this when I was about 10. It happened to her when she was about 5.

@anaforanonymous: Your father sounded like a real nut. Did hearing stories like that about your father cause your depression??

@thephoenix: no my depression is hereditary

I would really like to be your father figure if you need to talk to someone
