I Have a Question

Tell him happy Father's Day. You may not be crazy about him but if something happened to him, you would regret it.

@imgreywlf how pitiful are you that you come to my story to try and call me out because of disagreements we have had elsewhere where I have explained myself to you and you in response have refused to listen and insult me. No, you are no longer worthy my explanation. You aren't even worthy of being seen by me on this site now begone with you.

You need to tell him. You never know it could be the last time you speak to him

Bruh, are you telling me you have a REASON to avoid speaking to your dad? :/

Why wouldn't you want to try and make him happy, just for ONE day (or minute) of your time?

Swallow the pill is part of growing up :) You should definitely should and it's not about making him happy, do it for your own sake!

Mic, he's smarter than everyone and we're all idiots. Just smile and nod.

You should do that,I lost my father very young so you never know

maybe a text? im assuming you don't live with him

How do you know it has anything to do with abuse Wlf? That was quite the attack, considering he never specified. For all we know his Father did terrible things to him. Don't assume.

Tell him Happy Fathers Day, if he's a good Father there's no reason not to. I'd give anything to have a Father even if he wasn't a good one.

@HippyDippyBS yeah, I suppose that's a good point, and it sounds like something my mom would say.

Wish him a happy Father's Day.

And some advice if I may? There is a very good chance that you will get closer to him as you get older. You're at a tough age to be a man, especially if you have a strong willed dad. Mark Twain said it best:
"When I was a boy of 17, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand the old man. But when I got to be 24, I was astonished at how much he learned in 7 years."

@EatingCereal I do. Many reasons in fact. Reasons I won't be discussing with you. His happiness is not a priority of mine to be frank. I have some respect for him, but I don't feel like I owe him anything. He raised me and he taught me good things, but he also hurt me, and his presence tends to hurt me. However that does not mean I want to hurt him by ignoring him hence the quandary.

mic11225 no not at all I can appreciate that situations between you and your dad can cause friction I had a bad relationship with my dad he passed two years ago so this is our third fathers day without him and as a family we all miss him greatly [ and that go for me too ]so what i am saying is take the advantage of the time he is with you

@ImMalia I strongly considered that, but that feels too distant. Like I feel like I would be better off ignoring him if all i was going to do is send him a text. Maybe I will call him, just later today. I want to enjoy my day first at least.

Ok....depending on the level of hurt, mic: I would say you can judge whether or not you should say hi or not :/ (that changes things)

mic11225 yes really he is the reason you are here so I would but you really need to mean it or it is a hollow gesture otherwise

@smiler2012 you assume that I want to be here.

Same issue...glad that he was talkative
