What is your father like?

Complete and utter wanker.

Why?

military, immigrant, got family, lost job, got shitty job for kids, built a house by himself to escape toxic living conditions. i live in this house right now. we rarely talk, just the basics. sometimes we get drunk as fuck

He's a person who never really appreciated everything i did in life as me. And I always get a vibe of pure disappointment even though I have a really good job, finish my studies with good perspective, and am generally a great person. It really fucking sucks cause I want to have good relations with him, but he simply doesn't like me.

>>737557470
Same here bro

>>737557760
i know that feel,
>>737557735 this is me

but never forget that you probably only achieved this much greatness , because he was being this tough on you.
being loved is for mothers, a father has to demand.

>>737557092
>What is your father like?

The older I get, the smarter I realize he was.

>>737557092
best man alive

Never knew him/ used drugs

>>737558026
>This. I know that feel bro.

He was an incredibly kind, intelligent, imaginative, welcoming, understanding person, with just a wide enough streak of immaturity and irresponsibility to be a really fun guy. "Don't tell your mother" was one of his favorite lines.

He was about the closest thing to a legitimate christian that could exist. Not the "force my religion on others" and "hate different people" kind, the "see a bleeding, black teenager hobbling down the street after being beaten up by a gang, take him inside, clean him up, and drive him home" kind. He was my best friend and far and away the best man I've ever known.

When my brothers and I got older, he'd often break out his old tokemaster and blaze a few with us. He had great taste in music, and liked discussing philosophy and engineering with us.

Now he's a lot quieter than before, because he's dead as a doornail. So I've just been sitting here for the last four years chain-smoking, day-drinking, abusing pharma and missing him.

But ya know, what are ya gonna do? Life sucks that way sometimes.

Dad?

He most recently ripped me off for $600, probably to fuel his drug habits. He provided for us, but it was through bouts with alcoholism and run-ins with the law. Also in the early days, he was a total bum. Out drinking all night and living off our mother. All these things he did as a choice - I don't think he ever meant (or chose) to be a father, but instead just kind of went with it, perhaps out of spite of his own parents not being there for him. Hasn't ever been able to hold a job for too long, a year or two tops. I suppose the term charlatan fits pretty well. He's somewhere between that & a jack of a̶l̶l̶ some trades. Another frustrating part of this is that he's been mooching off an old family friend (she's a widow). He lies to her about various aspects of his life, so when I come to visit he'll try and brief me with things not to mention. I'm an honest person, so it's been fortunate for him that nothing like that has come up in conversation yet. Still love em, but he's reverted to his bumly ways & should really just get an easy-going job, move out of that basement, and pay me the money he owes. I only even sold him that motorcycle for so cheap because he said he would be riding it, not so he could flip it. He only ever paid me half of what we agreed to on the bill of sales. With anyone else I'd want the payment up front, but I figured it was okay since he's my father. Live and learn, I suppose.

A piece of shit

Loving father. But he was never a role model for me. A lazy man who never really worked in his life but still wanted respect and control over our lifes. There were times I hated this man sitting on the couch and watching tv, day after day, leaving us to live from welfare and not even spending the time with us. My mother made me and my siblings into what we are now. The german state gave us the oppurtinity to study and become succesful. He didnt contribute anything. And last week he asked for money, again, to buy shit he doesnt need. I cant respect this man, but I dont want to treat him bad because he's old now and cant change the way he is so I just stay away most of the time.

>>737557092
dead since i was 3 months old.
had a heart attack at a bar and nobody noticed for a couple of hours.

My dad is the son of Honduran immigrants (they're hardworking btw). His mom died when he was 14 or so, so it was him, his 2 sisters, and 2 brother s and his dad. Met my mom, a black lady (who now works at a hospital in Texas), had me, they split, and now I'm with him
He's about 5'10, kinda fat, a huge jokester, kinda serious sometimes, loving, a hard worker, and very laid back most of the time

I love him dearly

>>737560220
have u ever asked about his childhood? the way he grew up? about his parents?

do u actually know your father? or just what hes become.

>>737560264
Fuck off randy

>>737557092
workaholic

>>737560392
not randy.

but i guess my story might be pretty common.

An anxious hypocrite who I never wanted to be

>>737557092
Also gone.

>>737560220
Are u an arab imigrant by any chance? Or black african immigrant?

Egoistic, self-centered, drunkard, autistic

My dad is super awesome. He was an alcoholic up until I was about 12, but was never abusive it anything, he was just kind of lazy. He always talks me through shit and gave me great advice. When I got my head out of my ass around 22, we started giving reach other advice and have bonded quite a bit. I'm confident that had my mother not been a selfish cunt, I'd be in a much better situation, as would the both of them. But, that is all in the past and what matters is that he and I love each other and I can call him not only my father, but my best friend.

Tl;Dr he is a cool guy that doesn't afraid of anything

Dead

>>737557092
well just learned this year that my dad is different then who I thought, met my real father and he's a piece of shit

>>737557092
Committed suicide about 6 years ago. Was a piece of shit human and father.

He was the life of any party and anyone he met would instantly love him. He was my personal hero. Helped me come out of my antisocial shell.

Killed himself five years and I still blame myself for it.

Wish I had just forgiven him.

>>737560361
I know he didnt have an easy childhood. He tells these stories alot. Basically he grew up in an environment where no one gave a shit about him until he did something wrong, then he got beaten up.
Im sorry that he had to go through that. But in the end its up to you to build your life. Its shit to have a bad start but doesnt take your responsibility.

>>737557760
Maybe if you stop sucking cocks.

>>737560730
Arab. Its sad because hes just what the people in this country dont want to immigrate. And I can understand that. Did you guess?

>>737557092
dead.

He's a blue collar guy. Works as a stage hand at a casino's entertainment hall. Doesn't make a fuck ton of money. He acts like voting democrat will some how magically make things better. Was a huge Berniecuck during the election. My mom was a foaming at the mouth rabid HillShill. My dad called hilldog the "lesser of two evils". I'm so glad I moved out 5 years ago.

best father ever, i will probably never live up to his expectations of me though

Quite distant from me emotionally.
Never realy taught me much as a kid.
But now that i am older i can see why that is, it was because his father never did and he just didn't know how.
My dad worked his ass off to earn a lot of money which he was very successful of so his kids wouldn't have to grow up having no money like he did, i only see how much my dad sacrificed and suffered for me and my siblings. My dad is a good man, he just showed it in different ways that i only understand now.

>>737557092
Distant. Awkward. Has severe clinical depression. Drunk constantly. His social skills are cringey beyond all fock.

I can't have a normal conversation with him. He makes people feel extremely uncomfortable in general.

Love and appreciate hin though. He pulled over 200k a year and pretty much married his job and achieved the literaly highest position in his field. Im extremely proud.

Still im 30 now and still barely have a relationship with him. Believe me ive tried but he really is impossible to talk to.

>>737562005
Kill yourself, paki-cunt

>>737562653

This is me>>737562915

I completely feel you bro.

>>737560782
That might be why he was an alcoholic because your mum was a bitch ad he hated his life.
And when you got a bit older and he could bond with you he probs stopped.
You may be one of the reasons he gave up drinking, ever thought about that?

Left when I was 6. Picked up contact when I moved to the capital. Huge demagogue, nihilist to the core, draws very well, tries to persuade me to pick up the craft seriously. Other than that almost a mysanthrope. Regulary supplies me with books about different episodes from history of Soviet Union and WW2 in russian as well as ammo in trench condition. Loves diving. Have his picture sitting in my room for a week already. Sorry for potato quality. Smartphone's in the workshop.

>>737562251
Why does this girl do her makeup so she looks emaciated and sick? She has sharp features to begin with, it's not exactly a good look.

Sorry about your pops, bro.

>>737563370
veteran of great patriotic war?

>>737557092
dead

Rich, never there for me
want me to become a judge or lawyer
At least iam getting a lot of money from him

He was a hard worker to support our family. Worked often 65+ hours a week and I never saw him for sometimes days at a time. When he was home, he was always so tired, and seemed depressed. It changed though when some of his kids moved out and he got his new job at the city. He now works only 40 hours a week and earns more than he did before.

Other than that, he is the epitome of Dad jokes, and I can tell he is a little socially awkward. He goes beyond everyone's expectations and manages to fix any problem or machine you give him. He didn't like to show expression for a long time though. Glad he's changed.

>>737563911
Nah. Finished Academy of Arts in 86'. Just that he's a big rusophile.

>>737558026

The older I get, the more that I realize that he never wanted a family. Aaaaaaanyway.

>>737557092

I can't really tell much we are not connected that much in relations (after work never got time for me because working late)
