I can't begin to imagine what it's like for a boy who has a dad who is never there, one who really is there but just can't be bothered although he believes that he owns the privelage to call him ''Son.''
Even worse is a dad like this who makes false promises to that boy, gives him dreams and hopes that will never be. I don't know why you cry your tears now that your ''son'' is gone. Those tears must be for yourself as they can't be for the son you never had. . .the son who followed the dreams you never gave him. . . the son who even dreamed about his dad. . .the one who was never there. . .never would be. . .because it was just a dream.
We talked about you yesterday, the conversation was very short. It wouldn't surprise me if some of your tears are for the grandson you don't know, the one you never had, the one you can only dream about, you made those dreams yourself though I doubt you will ever wake up because you are not sleeping.
Thank you for reading my blog.

Sad sad stuff you write of. Sadder yet is this is the life of so many. Made me think of my granddaughter and well my daughter who loves to claim her as her daughter yet does nothing. Wish the world was as it should be. ~*~

These situations are so sad and make me angry. My daughter has a friend who's father abandoned her by choice, just walked out of her life. My daughter once said to me "We both don't have fathers, but I'd rather have it like my situation, where my dad didn't have a choice of seeing me grow up (he passed away when she was five..). In my friend's situation, her dad had the choice and threw it away and that's so sad for her."
He is lucky to have you in his life...

There is a lot of them out there. Mothers as well as fathers. Some people should not have the privilege of being a parent.

I would venture that the pumpkin picked from the vine so long ago, and which stood in memory as the object of rememberance,,,, has caved in on itself with rot.....
Nothing survives when not joined with the vine....
I can't pretend to understand the father who is not a dad.....
I also can't pretend to understand the mother, who has to do both jobs.....
Dad's are allowed to be nurturing,,,,,,but mom's who are firm and strong,,,, are labeled as just bitches,,,,,
A toast to the mom's being dads,,,,,and to their kids,,,,,

I can't imagine what it's like, either, Miss; but I continue to observe, with hope for inner strength from within that (those) boys. Good blog.

 My kid's dad is like that, lives only six hours away, open visitation anytime he wants but never comes. It's pretty sad, he misses all the "good stuff" but calls a couple times a year to say: I love you to them, Hmmmmmmmm. No Birthday cards anymore, or Christmas presents, I don't understand it myself, I've taken them to him four times since we moved to Tennessee, visits seemed good. Don't know what else to do, can't force a Dad to be a Dad. They are really good kids, "A" students, says he's proud of their achievements, can't figure it out. Oh well stopped along time ago trying to figure it out. It's a shame kids don't even seem to care anymore. tc Lost

Yet what of the father that is there ....
and instead of a compliment on a job well done,
or an even better "I'm proud of you",
Finds something to criticize about even the
most outstanding deeds a son might do.
