Father-son Relations.

Yeah, that would be like a white person hating white people... just kerraaazzyyy

 

the apple doth fall very far from the tree?

i don't see how you ignoring this man, who's faults are pretty superficial, makes you any better than him. i mean, he hasn't hit you, verbally abused you, all you are pissed with is his indifference towards you - smooth move on your part by being exactly the same.

some people don't have a dad. and some people's parents are violent. you are a self admitted adult now, if there is a problem

you and him, alike, can figure it out. children ignore each other and play stupid games.

i am not attacking you, for the record.

 

No, you're absolutely right. Like I said earlier in a post (not expecting you to read the whole topic) I will make amends with my father soon. My only real problem is he's always too fucked up to seriously talk to him about anything. I don't know if I could ever really connect with him... but I can try.. even if it makes me really uncomfortable.

I'm different in many ways from my father... but in alot I'm just like him. I forget that sometimes.

 

Get him away from booze for a while, and drop acid with him.

 

lol i wish i could do that with my dad...would be super awesome

i've just come to terms that i have been 'abused' (whatever you may deem abuse) by both of my parents, like the OP

it's a difficult situation to try and 'patch things up' with a father who was also emotionally and verbally abused by his father.
