Anyone have a bad relationship with their parents?

Fortunately for me I have a good one with my mom and stepdad (they got married when I was 4 and he is my daddy for all practical purposes).

Now my real father, he'd like to think we have one but if you ask me we don't. I'm 47 and he left before I was born so pretty much always and I see no end to it.

Eta what Caused it? He cheated on my mom when she was pregnant (ok and before then) and left before I was born. I pretty much have no feelings for him at all .. I often wonder what my reaction will be when he dies.

My father was a piece of shite alcoholic. Mom finally divorced him when I was 16. I never spoke to him again, even though he lived less than 5 miles from me. He died when I was 40. I told his sister to do whatever she wanted with him. She had him cremated and i didn't even inquire as to where the ashes were. He never remarried and didn't have a will, so by law I got his crap. I sold all his shite and ended up with about 150k in my pocket. Took some vacations with my family and paid off my mom's house. frick him!

Damn bro you are heartless.

Never had a bad relationship with them, just was never really close to them.


Lately that has changed drastically.

Mine are dead to me.












And you
And you
And you
And everyone

Not really. Dude never put the bottle down for me throughout my entire childhood. He never laid a hand on me, but I had to hear his shite in the middle of the night on a fricking Tuesday when he'd come home drunk, screaming at my mom like some white trash trailer park bullshite. frick that shite. I'm now a college graduate, married to an awesome woman going on 22 years and have 2 kids I'd go to the ends of the earth for. I couldn't imagine what I'd do if they wouldn't speak to me. Him on the other hand, never even attempted to reach out to me, never attempted to meet my wife or his 2 grandchildren. Luckily I had 2 awesome uncles that took on the role of father, teaching me all the shite he never did. I know alcoholism is a disease, but you gotta at least try to get your shite together at some point, at least 1 fricking time. All this blood is thicker than water crap is bs. If you're a piece of shite, I'm done with you, period.

Why? If it was to make you impotent, I hope you realize that is a myth.

My kids know to get and open me a beer when my bottle is 1/4 full. That's raisin em right.

I relocated them to Phoenix to be near me. They moved to AZ in November. My dad found a used minivan last month and is closing on a used mobile home in Glendale, AZ(about 35 minutes away from me) next month. They are currently staying with my aunt(that also lives in Phoenix).
