My parents divorced when I was very young and the communication between my dad and I was sparse.
My parents were together for 49 years. I live nearby and went over often for suppers and breakfasts. I Still go by to see my Maw often.
The last words my dad ever said to me were "it's gonna be raining like shite tomorrow!" regarding the weather when I'd be picking them up the next morning to go watch my daughter play basketball in Natchez.
I am one lucky and blessed MFer to have no regrets nor missed conversations with my paw. We looked at the moon, walked the train tracks, and did all the good shite that I try and make sure to do with my kids.
If it's not too late for you, do the same.

Given this story, your Dad should have reached out to you, but since he didn't, you should reach out to him. It shows that you are a better man than he is.

My dad passed last year. Only advice I can give anyone is that you need to talk to your dad more, regardless of how much you talk to him now.

Just about every day. We watch every LSU football game together

I talk to my dad everyday. We both encourage each other in our health goals. I share 50%of his genetics. So biologically we are a lot a like. Just recently he has made tremendous health gains and his life has improved dramatically. He tells me he loves me everyday now. I am blessed.

This seems strange. How old are you?

Face-time my son and grandson once/twice a week. I text my son all along, rare occasion he texts back
Posted on 10/4/20 at 7:58 am to bad93ex
Not as much as I should. I generally talk to him about once a week on average.

I stop at my parents' home bout twice a week and send my dad in particular a few texts a week. My mom I talk to pretty much daily.

We texted just about everyday. Spend as much time as we can when he is home and not at work. When they gone(dead) you can’t get them back.

I talk to my dad at least twice a week. I’m sorry your relationship with your dad is not what it should have been, but I would encourage you to reach out and perhaps start anew. My dad will be 75 this year, and I know I need to talk with and see him more than I do.

quote:this is a copout. I have noticed a lot of these boomers that are getting older expect their children, neices, and nephews to check in with them like they are kids. They fail to see it is a 2 way street. It is not our responsibility to always check in when we have our own familes. I had this issue with some of my aunt's and I told them that for the past 20 years I have been the one initiating the communication. And I will continue to do so when I feel like talking but if they want to talk, they need to they need to talk some initiative and reach out.
about not checking in more with him
Needless to say I haven't heard from them in a few months.
Posted on 10/4/20 at 9:46 am to bad93ex
I text with him every few days, probably on the phone every week or so. He works shift work, so it's hit or miss when he's sleeping some weeks

You never know what your mom did or said to him. Hes human. Im sure he made mistakes as well.
You are missing as much as him.
BTW, your mother sucks as much as him. She had as much or more of an opportunity to make you talk to him everyday. She was your leader...and failed

My dad passed away two years ago , he was also my best friend . We talked everyday and he was 82 when he passed. I have a step son and step daughter that I raised. My step son stays busy with his job (calls twice a week)but my step daughter calls me every day. I never refer to them as “ step” because they hate that and I’m just dad. Their biological father wasn’t in their life when they were young but is now. We were at a cookout last year and he apologized to me for not being a better father. I told him no apologies were needed, I was blessed having them in my life and I was sorry that he missed out on two great kids
