I Hate My Dad

I never met him since he abandoned my mom after he learned that she was pregnant with me. But I would sooner forgive my babysitter who molested me as a child before ever forgiving him. He's a coward, he even left the state we live in and as far as I know, he never returned just to avoid the responsibilities he left behind. If I ever came face-to-face with him, I don't know what I would do it say. Perhaps I wouldn't say anything since he's not even worth the breath it would take to cuss him out.

Always two sides to every story.

@MasterLee Do you think his abandonment could be justified in any way?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@PerchingDove I have no idea. No facts to review in this case.

PerchingDove · F

@MasterLee I'm not asking you to review facts, I'm asking you if you believe that a man can be justified for abandoning his child.

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@PerchingDove I have no idea. I really never contemplated it. Maybe if the child murdered his wife maybe.

PerchingDove · F

@MasterLee How about in my case, abandoning his partner and his child before she's even born?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@PerchingDove As I said, I have no idea. I wouldn't, but I have no idea what the difficulty was.

PerchingDove · F

@MasterLee It doesn't matter what the difficulty was, there is no excuse and no justification for what my dad did. You just said yourself that it's not what you would do and that shows that you're well aware of how wrong that is so it really doesn't matter what my dad's side of the story is now does it?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@PerchingDove it does to you. I still have no idea.

PerchingDove · F

@MasterLee What do you mean it does to me?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@PerchingDove you are allowed to hold your belief. I do not prejudge.

PerchingDove · F

@MasterLee And you're allowed to hold yours but your comment was a really pointless.

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@PerchingDove Ok if you believe that. Sorry to have engaged you in dialog.
