I don't think it would bother me. Well, maybe a little, but more in the sense that I never had a father the way normal people have. I could NEVER tell my dad anything as he'll just belittle me (back then). Or disregard my thoughts/opinions. Looking back, I don't think he even realise he done it. He was like an unthinking robot, acting on impulse without regard on how he came across. Though, I could forgive him all that, but I could never forgive the drink. Maybe some of you guys experienced the same with a member of your family, or perhaps you didn't and seem to think; 'What's the big deal, forgive him already'. To sufficiently detail how it was growing up with a drunk for 18 years isn't something I cannot do in even a million words. Having your pals around while he's in the study, straining your ears to listen for the liqueur cabinet opening, calling ahead when wanting to bring someone home to see what state he's in. Seeing your mom with tears in her eyes, insisting 'nothing is wrong' no matter how many times you ask. I can mention a thousand other such details, but this isn't what this thread is about. And I cannot be fucked listening to people that never had your experiences grunt at me.I'm off to pirate some music!
I don't normally care for holidays like this but it's important to let your dads know how much you appreciate them. My stepdad got his kidney removed a little while ago and just found out on Friday that the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes, lungs, bladder, etc... will definitely be sure to celebrate Father's Day today. No matter how strong they are, their life can be taken just as easily and quickly as anyone elses. Happy Father's Day.
Happy father' day to all the real dads on GB.This is my 3rd Father's Day and it still means lot to me..Any man can make baby,It takes a real man to be a father.PeaceD
I don't know about this fathers day shenanigan. As a grown man, i can't justify picking up the phone and having a heart-felt conversation describing how much i love and appreciate my daddy. I think my dad would call me a f.aggot, and hang up. lol
