Have a dad that helps me out. Fixed my car. Wants to hang out for father's day and is text messaging me about meeting up. Said I would.

...And I ghost him. I just can't be bothered.

Your course of action here will depend on whether you love to hate life or if your hate to hate life. Chaos is the natural state of our inherently evil universe. Harmony requires active effort to be upheld. Don't feed your parasites by continuing to do cosmically wrong things. Uphold the harmony between you and your dad and God will go *thumbs up*!!!!!!

I remember being this way. It’s just my dad could be a lot. And it’s easier to avoid things sometimes. But he passed away a few years ago. And now I really regret not spending more time with him while I could.

>>40529882 (OP)
Would you look at that, OP is a faggot again. Every time!

>>40530069
This. Enjoy what you can when you can OP you little shit

Well, I’m the dad in that scenario right now.

My kids are mid 20s and do their own thing but I try to be helpful and ask about their lives, etc. they pretty much ignore me.

I text them and always say how proud I am and the most I get is thanks. This is great. But they never come see me. They don’t initiate any chats.

They always forget my birthday and maybe text a week later. Nothing ever for Father’s Day.

And I loved them more than anything growing up. Did all the school runs, school assemblies, helping with homework, crazy school projects.

But now I’m just a shadow to them. I know I will die alone and I accept that. But I really do miss them.

If anyone out there is like OP, please do think twice about it. The older your parents get, the more you mean to them and just being interested can mean the world.

In my 30s and have a great relationship with my parents. Call them once a week to just chat and check in. Visit them twice a year (they live in another part of the country). Call on the birthdays and mothers/father's day, send them gifts. Was not like this in my 20s. I was very sick mentally and pop mental health is all about blaming your parents for your issues so you dont have to take responsibility for your own bullshit. When I finally healed I learned to accept my alcoholic upbringing and now I have a strong relationship with my parents and dont blame them for anything. I love them for who they are.

My brothers are in their 20s right now and treat my parents like shit. I have faith they'll grow up eventually like I did. And my older friends with adult children are experiencing this same thing with their kids in their 20s.

I guess what im trying to say anon is dont fret, your children will grow up eventually and realize how important you are. Thank you for being a good Dad. Theres not enough of them in the world.

That's not evil, just tell him what is going on. He will understand.

>>40529882 (OP)
My dad is a disgusting faggot who sexually abuses me and tries to insinuate that any woman with a similar skin complexion to him is the same as him and uses this as an excuse to say disgusting faggot shit and generally putrefy the existence of women because he's a disgusting faggot tranny

>>40530592
Are you the anon who is always blaspheming 'God'? Was it really just your father all along?

>>40530251
Some people don't learn to appreciate their parents until they've matured, which in my experience happens in the early 30s. So, who knows, you kids might see you in a different light one day. I wouldn't lose hope just yet.

you don't sound evil, you sound like a useless faggot bitch

>>40529882 (OP)
Just call your daddy and go be with him. I miss my daddy like you wouldn’t believe!

>>40529882 (OP)
You strung out OP? Force a change in your daily routine. Something significant that forces change and there’s no going back on.

>>40530251
Sounds like you aren’t being truthful with yourself anon. Sounds like you feel bad for yourself and see yourself as a silent hero here. What would your kids say if we asked them?

Everything works out the way it is meant to.
Your choices are an illusion.
You either choose to do the right thing or you don't.

>>40529899
That’s wrong. You don’t force harmony. Forceful action has a forceful reaction.

>>40530969
Probably that I’m annoying and cringe and overly sentimental.

Can’t help it. The older you get, the more you think of your own mortality and all the things that are genuinely important. I think of all the things I wished I had done better for them, the times we all had stupid arguments over nothing, etc.

Maybe I am just overly sentimental. I lost my parents while I was young so it always stuck with me of how much more I wished i I could have done with them

>>40530251
My dad doesn't do that for me. He thinks simply buying me food so I don't die is enough. But it's not enough! He could care less about anything about me

>>40529882 (OP)
You’re not evil op just a human.

The boomers and gen x had parents who were too busy to give them attention so they didn’t know how to give attention to their kids even though they could.

You’re just continuing the cycle of apathy.

It will take a while but just feed the good in you by making easy good choices and little by little you’ll naturally do the right thing.

>uhm OP please reconsider because breeders like me have a really bad time when our fleshpets don't entertain us!
