I never experience to have a responsible and good provider father in my life
I never experience how to be hug by a father without hesitation when I do have problem
I rather have a broken family than a father like mine who keep drinking beer sitting around watching tv while my mom is the main person working for us.My mom sacrifice for almost 32 years for us siblings and now she finally decide to leave my dad where we are already old and making a living.It's hard,difficult situation but I try to be tough or just close my eyes for all the things around.I think will be needing 1 book to story my life lol so I will end it here.So how about you?Is you father good provider?Where you can be proud of?Where you can feel that your his son or daughter?Share you thoughts.

hi insulin my father was first an excellent provider, but a harsh
unkind son of a bit#h.He verbally abused my mom all his life
but the reasons I feel ill just thinking of him is that he molested
me a little girl of 8 just because my dear mom was in the hospital
and he felt horney. Not that my adult expression as at 8 I knew only
that my dear daddy was really hurting me. after that once I never ever
let myself be alone in the house with him, no he was not a good father
to me but he was liberal with money.No I was not proud of him and I
would not let him be alone with my little daugher either.My thoughts
are grim, best left at that.

My father's much better as a grandfather, as he's much more open with them and I think he's learned that it's not always best to act old fashioned. He's always been a good father, just distant and he never liked spending to much. (his wallet used to have spider webs) Well it didn't but he held it very close to him and that meant we didn't do family trips or things like that very often.
I wouldn't change my father, I respect how much help he's given me and especially when it came to buying my home.
If it wasn't for my father, it would of been difficult to obtain the full funds needed and it came as a shock when he offered to help me secure the mortgage. It was a very gesture from him.

My father has always been a good provider, and he still continues to help me to this day. I am very lucky to have him in my life. He has always done everything he could to help me.

HI,
I feel so proud of your mother that she has been
supporting your family for so long and still can bear with
your father attitude.
She is a tough woman,for sure and you have to love your mother
with your whole heart. SHe is working that hard for the sake of you and
your siblings.
I am lucky to have a happy family, my father is providing me with
everything and I really have a good childhood and even now I have
my own family, but my father still care and love me alot.
I am very happy to be my parents' daughter and I miss my parents alot because
we are not living in the same country and I can only visit them once a year.

each of us is blessed to have different kinds of father.. some are good.. some are not so good. some are responsible , others are not. we're either in a family with a good parent or we're in a family where we ask why of all people in the world am i stuck with this kind of father??..
well, as for my case, my father is a business man.. and business means BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY-NESS!!! and with this , he's not around all the time. he comes home at dinner time..sometimes without even talking to us.. we're just like strangers when i was young..
i can't even remember if he did really help teaching me how to read or write.. or maybe i just learned it all from school.. elementary, highschool and college, name it, i didn't see his presence not even once, attending on my graduation.
after graduating, i started to see things which i didn't experienced before from my father.i sensed that he's already listening into everything that i said and it makes sense to me now.. that i'm older.. that maybe in his eyes before, i was just a mere kid, nothing more nothing less.. and thinking of the past i guess the thing that he did was just fulfill my needs, like with my schooling, allowances, etc. and i appreciate all that.. but then being a parent, we must love our children as well, and we must show it to them. this is very important.

my father was so-so good provider before but now he is just sitting around and giving us headache. we dont oblige him to work but he is so into money. he wants to always have money and spend and spend and spend. he counts the things he gave for all of our siblings. he says he sent us to school, etc, etc. tired of him
