I found my father who ran away from us when I was a toddler on facebook. whats the best way to proceed? I think it'd be good just to message him basically saying "Why did you run?" "Did you not ever think of me at all?" and "I'm not mad I just wanna let you know you missed out."
Thoughts?
If you want to build a relationship then message him hello. But be prepared for him to ignore you
If you're just going to whine at him hoping he breaks down and apologizes you're probably wasting your time if he wanted to talk to you he'd have done it years ago

His life you do not know. Your life he does not know.
It's better to understand and move on then to start with guilt and accusations. It sounds awesome to just hammer him down but it won't answer the questions properly in the long run.

This is a difficult scenario and I have no idea what you would say, however, in my opinion I don't think you should send him an accusatory question in your initial message.

I wouldn't whine. I've grown past that. I just wanna know why.

Maybe your right. But I at least want him to know I exist.

What do you think a good thing to say would be?

I provided the concept for him to know that. Say hello. If he is open; learn who he is, what he has done. Give him details of who you are, what you have done. Enjoy learning about each other and sooner or later you will discover the reasons he made that choice. you might not like the reasons, the choice or the outcome. But you will both be intrinsically aware of each others existence and goals. After that you decide how much more interaction you need if any.
