Our heavenly father is the one who has helped me with the earthly one who is only a sperm donor. At least we all have one we can count on.

Well Guys, It's a shame that a lot of us have earthly fathers like this, I am 47 years old and I recently found my father again after 35+years, my mom and he divorce when I was very young, needless to say we are living about 4hrs away from each other,I call him most times, he really has nothing to say, or rushes off the phone, so I decided I would still call from time to time just to make sure he's ok. But I don't stress about it, because I still have a Father that loves me more than any earthly man or person on this earth ever could. I'm talking about OUR Heavenly Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his love never fails, if you have never tried him, I ask you to just try him for yourself. He can fill all your needs, all you have to do is ask!!!. It took me a while to realize this, to come out of my funk, but now that I have a relationship with the father that really counts, my life is so blessed. God is good all the time!!!!.

I can relate to not wanting to be part of my parents life anymore but not to not wanting to be with my children. sounds like a midlife crisis but a late one. My dad's a pain in the bum too. He married a witch when i was sixteen and ever since he has had hardly anything to do with me and my kids. He might occasionally send a card but it's only if i badger him. He's all over her family and children but his own children are treating like vermin. My advice is live and let live. It's a painful descision to let go but by letting go your freeing yourself for more love from other avenues. I let go a while back and i feel great. I sometimes feel hurt when i see people having a great relationship with their fathers but then i feel proud of myself for standing on my own two feet and not allowing someone to treat me like crap.

I have an uncle who did the same in a way. Typed a letter to his mother stating he was no longer her son and did not want to be part of the family anymore. His (bad word) of a wife being jealous of our family brainwashed him onto it. So my Gram has lost her baby boy; my Mother, a brother and I and my sisters have lost our favorite uncle. People are stupid. They do not realize that what they have is special and just throw it away like it is nothing. Someday he will regret it and by then, it will be too late. He is not worth feeling hurt if he does not care enough himself. Chin up and live a happy, healthy life!

Joannaedge, Yes, I to have a stupid father, or as i like to call him sperm donor, I am so sorry for your experiance , If he told everyone bye then they are probably better off without him, I have always said there is a reason why an old man dies alone. Pick up and move on , it may be hard, yet someone like that is not worth the worry over, just pray God keeps him safe and move on. my donor has now lost a daughter, and is not a part of my childrens lives, if he seen them on the street without me , he probably would not know them . chin up . the sun is up . The one thing that has gotton me through what I went trough, and sorry I can not post it. was knowing that my heavenly father is the only one i need and will always be there for me. Sit and enjoy the fact that any man can make a baby but it takes a real man to father the child,' God is with you,

Wow! What a horrible experience for all of you. Some people don't seem to care how much they hurt their family! I have a sister doing the similar thing...

My father told me goodbye today. You may think I am talking about a frail old man but no. He picked up a woman in the spring along with a motorcycle. Then over the summer he bought a house and a truck. Last week he told his 81 year old mother to get out and this week he left my sisters wedding before walking her down the aisle. Today he blamed it on "our circle" my mom and siblings and now my grandma is in our circle and and we can go be happy in it. He played the victim he said we never include him blah blah blah bs.He has been involved in everything he wanted too. Sad week but, I did lose 7 lbs this first week so sp gets a big
