The more I matured as an adult the more I understood what his reasons where and I appreciate and love the man for raising me with strictness and his own way of caring.

It's easy to have a great relationship with a great man. Couldn't ask for a better father.

Damn, way to make me feel bad.....
But still, grammar is important.

What is your relationship with your dad like?
I treat him like a "pretty good" buddy. I'll never call him to hang out and it doesn't bother me if I don't talk to him or see him. I don't ask for advice and on the rare moments he attempts to offer it, I never follow it because he is obviously out of touch and still thinks life works the same today as it did in the 80s when he started having kids.
He is, however, great to my kids and I appreciate the fact that he and my mom stuck it out over the years, but he was never really a hands on dad. The fact that he still doesn't try is confirmation that me and my brother are on the periphery of his life and whatever BS was going on in his head was more consuming than us.
Such is life. He is, overall, a good man and did not completely frick me up, so I love him and appreciate that he did not fail as a parent.
I'll give the relationship a C- on a letter grade scale.

my dad and I are good recently...once I forgave him for cheating on my mom, busting up their marriage, and fricking up my middle school years.....we started getting along better...he tells me often how proud he is of me and my accomplishments which means a lot...I still wish he would be a better grandfather put he is putting forth more effort than he used to...my brother and I had a sit down with him about that a few years back and he has changed some...all in all...he is not going to change certain behaviors and personality traits but I love him and am glad he's my dad....but I can say that my main motivation with my boys is to be better with them and for them....and have a tighter relationship with them than I do with him...

My dad is a good father/role model. Loves my mom unconditionally.
But we are pretty different. Some might say he is rather bragadocious to others. Kind of a one-upper.
We have sparred over many things. I don't feel like he gives me credit. That used to bother me but not anymore.
My biggest complaint is reagrding money. While he hashad a nice career, he Never had a plan for it when I was growing up. Lived a large lifestyle. Never educated me or my brothers on it either. Had to learn a few things the hard way. Its really frustrating when I bring a SO over to their house because it gives them what I feel are unrealistic expectations of me and what I have.
I fear a day when I have to help support him and my mom.

I lucked out on the dad lottery, really both parents. They are both very solid. I try not to take it for granted.

Great, Haven't talked to him in 3 years. He likes to meth around.
