I was still young when my parents got separated..
actually my grandfather, on my mother's side,, he really don't like my father for my mother to be her husband.. but still my mother didn't listen to my grandfather..
he was so kind as a father.. we had lots of happy memories .. but all things messed up when he hurt my mother.. he was so drunk that time.. so my grandfather do all his best to get me and my mother from my father.. and that was the time that he just let us stay on my grandfather.. and until now, we don't have any communications with each other.. actually we don't know if he's still alive.. sometimes i still remember him.. and i realize that i really miss him!!

It was so sad to think and talk about father. I had the greatest one in the whole world. I love my father so much and until now I still love the man. I wish I had given him everything before he resigned from the world.
I hope that you can still reconcile with your father and see him this christmas... that is my christmas gift for you a short prayer for you to find your father. don't lose hope you will find him still. if we are able to find our old classmates from the past, what more your father.
I wish you well.

Sorry for the painful separation from your father,hopefully you stay encouraged and as you seek to find him you also consider talking to your grandpa and mother, so that they try and understand that you are your father's child, you love him and wish that they support you in reconnecting with him. From your sentiments, you love your father as much as he loved you then. Hold on to the dream of finding him and seek support from people who understand your situation. Wish you the best.

Have you never attempted to locate your father, my friend. Maybe he can be searched on FB. Or you can ask from your relatives or from any of his relatives.
I can understand your feeling. After all he was a kind father you said, until that last incident.

Why, have you stayed on the same place for the last ten years? Because if you don't anymore, then chances are he did try to locate you but on the old place that you lived when he left.

i was also thinking about that .. actually it was always in my mind to look for him..
but just imagine.. if he also wants to see me, why is it that for almost ten years he don't even make a way for us to be together again??

I hope that you can find your father someday and be reunited again. It is sad to know that your parents didn't work at all and that is really one thing that a child needs to accept.All the burdens of a broken family affects more on the children, growing up without your father is not easy and you always fell envy to others because they have complete family unlike you.

sad to hear that you grew up having no father but I think your grandfather did the best way to protect both of you. though you said you don't have any communications but still you manage to miss him and think for him.

Dad's are the greatest ! Just sad in your part because you were not able to spend more time with him but what is so impressive of you is that you still love your dad despite the fact that he didn't exert extra effort to find you or reach you. I am just so lucky because God gave me the best dad , perfect for me but sad part there is he can no longer join us for he is already in heaven. Anyways , it is okay the thing is we have dad and forever we are indebted to our dad.

I can feel how hard it is for you to grow up without your Daddy at your side, unless your grandfather exert his effort to play his role for you but it still differ. The love a father can give to his child is the greatest love and it's sad to hear from you about your story even though you are not the only one experiencing this situation in this lifetime. If it is possible try your luck ask your Mom if she can help you in some ways to find your father's whereabouts, sometimes it happens though silently...afterwards you can try different ways of searching him. Good luck!

I hope you do get to see your father again , at least for your sake . Even if the parents are no longer together , the child shouldn't have to be place in that position .
My father and I live in separate countries but we talk regular and see each other whenever we can .

he is you father forever,no matter the relationship between your mother and him is good or not,that thing belongs to the last generation.I think the lack of father's love is a big pity of your life,so find him and love him,don't leave regret in your whole life.

really?? do you think i would surely regret if i would not look for my father??
what if it would just be better if i would just keep him in my memories??
what if conflicts would happen if he would be back to our lives??

I don't really know what to say. But I can feel the longing you have for your father. I just wish that you will be able to see him or hear from him at least.

I'm so sad to hear that, I also know you really miss him. No matter what happened, he is your father, that doesn't change forever. I dont't know what to say to you, although my heart cann't be calm. I only can bless you and your family, hope everything is better. Moever, I think I should value more my family.

Yes .. family is really valuable.. among all i think..
they were just the one who will be there whenever you need comfort .. or when all the people around you already left you..
i admit i feel so envy with those who are with their father.. who has a "COMPLETE" family :'(

i don't know if i would still find him.. actually if he really wants to see me, his daughter, i think he would be the one to find a way for us to be together again ..
but so many years had passed and i didn't heard anything from him.. i think he just don't want to see us anymore..

That was so sad... ;( I was only 13 when my father passed away and after 18 years still I am missing him. I do understand what you feel. My husband wants to know his biological father. Everyone needs father to rely on... What happen to your parents' separation is really sad and I know that years passed by and I think they are now already have their own lives. But of course you are the one who is looking for some father's love and attention. Hope you will see your father soon... Let's pray for that, sweetie!

It sounds like you have a very wise and protective Grandfather. Too bad your mother didn't listen to her own father. She could have spared herself and you a lot of hurt and grief. I think it would be wise for both you and your mother to appreciate your Grandfather. He did his best to protect both of you, even when your mother wasn't listening. Your mother needs to be more wise in picking a good husband and father to her children. I hope your own father gets the counseling he needs. No man should get away with abusing other people. Too bad your own father is so cruel. Glad to hear that you miss your Grandfather so much, as he is the one who is loving and kind to you and your mother.

I am sorry for your family's state of things and hope that you will be able to find your father again.
Have you tried to look for relatives on your father's side like his parents (your grandparents), brothers or sisters (your uncles or aunts)? What about his old colleagues? (You might need to visit his old workplace to get this information) I am sure if he is still alive and working, finding him should not be that difficult. Even old neighbors of your former residence could provide you with some answers.
I don't think it would be difficult to ask your mother if she has your father's contact details because by now all that anger would have already settled down. So, you may want to consider asking her. It is really not that difficult to look for your father, even if he has remarried, then I am sure the Marriage Registry might have some contact details.
Start somewhere with what I have said and see where it leads? In the meantime, cheer up and most of all be positive.

We may choose our friends but we cannot choose our parents. So, this would explain your feelings for your father.
I cannot help reminding you of your grandfather's animosity with your father which could be the reason for your father's turning up to meet you. Parents will always need to be mindful of their children's feelings and ps ychological well being. A broken family is already so traumatizing for the both of them and not forgetting your very own who is his child.
I know it is good to concentrate on your studies but you need to remember to find a balance, learn to be independent and stop letting your parents worry about you. I suppose this is part of what growing up is about.
Take care of yourself.

sad to say but i NEVER tried any of those you have mentioned..
one of the reasons is that i was just a kid when my father left..and now, i was still focusing on my studies.. but just imagine, if he also wants to see me, he would surely find a way for us to be together again.. but too many years had passed and i haven't heard anything from him.. i was already losing hope.. :'(

Oh my, that must have been a really sad moment for you, seeing him being separated from you. Didn't your mother fight for your family? Well, probably, your grandparents also have a good reason why they didn't want your father for your mother. Now, just keep on praying that your father is in good hands, and God will grant your deepest wishes in His time.
My father is also separated from us, because of marital issues. I was 18, then, and hated him so much. I already reconciled with him before I get married, because I want to get his blessings on our marriage. Now, we are able to communicate when we want to, but never as good as how our relationship was before.

Hi friend, sad to hear that you are missing your grandpa, your topic clearly shows that he is very nice and kind person. It is really hard to forget such kind of persons, don't worry he is still alive and you will meet him soon. My wishes for it

yes, at least he is your father. You should miss him even he has ever hurt your mother. If you like, you can ask your grandfather some information about your father and try to get touch with him. You just have one father in the world. Forgiveness can make you happy. Good luck.
