Yes, but it hasn't been a bad thing for me.

Haven't seen this person since I was 8. He sent me a message to my inbox on Facebook that got lost in my spam box this year for like 6 months. If I never looked in there by accident I would've never seen it.

We're not close but I live with him. So no...

Nope

Did you reply?

As a Black male, I am profoundly offended by this question

Yah. Him and my mother were like fwb, then she got pregnant and he wanted her to go through with an abortion, but when she didn't he decided not to be a part of my life at all. I think I met him a few times until I was like 4, then he couldn't be bothered anymore.

We've had threads like this before and for some odd reason, members have been generalising the gay / male / no father statastics here on atrl and using it to insult multiple users on this forum. Avoid telling these rats anything. They've no shame.

Nope, I have my dad, he's freaking awesome, I've learned so much from him.

I also have other daddies if you know what I mean

He passed away when I was 9.

Sorry, I mean no harm or to offend anyone. I am just curious, that is all

Thanks for the warning, I am just curious to see how other people in the same situation handle their father's absence.

I have the most supportive father I could ask for. He was the one who encouraged me to pursue my culinary inclination when my mother's side expected more from me. My father was there to comfort me when my boyfriend of 7 years broke up with me, and during that relationship he treated my ex-bf well: like watching his football games in High School because his parents were in France temporarily. Despite being in my early 20s, I still consider myself a "Daddy's girl."

I lived with one but he's never acted like one so I think it's almost the same.

My father left when i was 2 months old, kind of disappointed but I'm used to it?

i haven't seen him since maybe last summer? that's by choice.

I never met him.

Nope.
