It may be hard for some daughters or sons who were abandoned by their father to accept him again...but we should not forget that we can't change the reality anymore that he is our father...we should learn to forgive and him the chance to give back the love he had lost for you....because we don't know when he will be taken away from us again...and that will be very painful...

its an ackward situation for you...but then, just be thankful that at least you've seen your father..the question there is..what do you feel the time when you did saw your father after so many years of abandoning you? do you feel angry to him or not? well, im asking coz you need to outgrow whatever negative feelings to your father..though he left you, he did come back...what matter is the present and not the past...in him supporting your studies..let him do his part...its his obligation to send you to school....

not that i lost or my father left me, but if something like that happened to me, then i would feel like wow so thats how my dad looks like. i think i would talk to him and try and be okay either way. i was taught that no matter how your dad is and has been through you treat him like he is your dad and thats what i would do.

If I were to happen like what you've been...maybe i would rather choose to talk to him heartily. I would listen to him for you're still so young then and doesn't know the real score. Much better to let him have the chance to prove that he somewhat cares for you. As of the moment, i would prefer to advice to you to let him help you in your studies cause in the first place it is really his responsibility, right? So, why not give him the opportunity as well yours too so that you can never have a mere financial problem with regards to your studies? And besides, he is still your father no matter what happens. We can't twist what had happened in the past so just go deal with the flow for your own goodness and future...

If the same thing happens to me, I would choose my real father over my step father because he is the real one. In my studies, I think I need the support from both of them because it is never easy especially in college where financial aspects need to be considered.
