My relationship to a tee, except I don’t understand why did the things he did. Especially now with kids, so there will likely always be a chasm between us just from the scars of the past but he’s not a bad person and I do want my kids around him and I don’t (or at least not intentionally) let them in on my feelings toward him because I don’t want that to affect there views.

Probably #4. We don’t agree on a lot of things, but I always go to him for advice. He’s a very intelligent man, and has always been selfless in regards to his family. He’s also one hell of a grandfather. He set the standard pretty high for my brother and I. My mom’s great, and we also have a good relationship, but she has a way of getting under my skin. However, her intentions are always good. She never does anything out of malice; she just has some annoying traits even if they are always meant to be helpful.

4, He's an incredible man. He has many faults, but owns everyone. He gives the best advice, but never uses it for himself. An incredible christian and is at every event of my kids.

not quite 4 but i think it’s a good relationship.

My dad is a great dad. loving and supportive. and we’re on good terms, but we aren’t friends. Our common interests never extended past our family stuff so it’s not like we hang out.

I thought of Mr. Garrison from South Park when I saw this thread title.

Yeah, from about age 14 to 18 I was pretty rough on my dad. I was a wild teenager, and he was a single father. We butted heads a lot more than once. I straightened my arse up when I was around 18.

Apathetic, he was a good provider and taught me a lot things but I never got the sense he is proud of me or really liked me.

He's one of those old school guys that dislikes anybody that has different hobbies or works in a different career field than him. I turned out to be more successful than he is but I was always the "weird" son. I think I disappointed him that I didn't turn out to be a younger copy of him.

We still would've been close but my mom died when I was 16 and it was just him, me and my other two siblings.

He sacrificed a lot to raise us and even took time away from work to help me during my cancer episodes.

He has helped me to be the father I am today.

My real dad passed when I was 11. My step dad started in 1 until I was about 18, then he moved to 2, and somewhere around 25 he moved into 3. After I had kids, "Pawpaw" moved into 4.
