I started crying in class

My parents are split and my mom has me most of the time, but my dad picks me up every Thursday so we can hangout, and this seems really nice but my dad is a really hard guy to get along with, hes always angry and refuses basic necessities, like food for his house, anyways to try and get along with him i have some cds from bands we both like, and i had just gotten a new one, and i know its his favorite bands even though he never told me so i was really excited to show him and listen to the album, but he texted me in class today and said he wasnt coming to get me today, and i dont know why it made me so upset but i started crying in class, and he didnt apologize for cancelling it just sucked.

If I could, I'd clone my own parents and provide them to all the cheated children.

But I can't. All I can do is to suggest that some people should never be parents and many should not be parents while they're trying to get their own act together.

I can only imagine your hurt and anger and sense of abandonment. I am so sorry.

Never forget that his selfishness and angry nature are his failings, not yours. You planned ahead for your visit with him and he backed out with no explanation. It does not in any way reflect YOUR value.

Your mom couldn't fix him and neither can you.

I'm sorry, honey.
