I Have Cut Ties With My Dad (right Or Wrong)? by Slimcurtis1(m): 11:45pm On Aug 01, 2014
I have never had a normal relationship with him, it was strained from childhood, am 18 now and it seems to be getting worse each year.
my parents divorced when I was just one, am 18 now I grew up without knowing what having father was like, I rarely see him and when I do it doesn't even last upto 5mins,to me it meant a lot to me to him nah.
he never for once supported me emotionally, financially, he just doesn't give a damn if we are alive,his actions said it.
I got admission last year and things were really tough for mum (she lost her job ).I phoned him and told him about it he replied that he has no money having paid for two of my step mother's siblings, I was devastated and later lost the admission.
I interspect in all I have gone with him and concluded on 'he doesn't love me'.maybe cause am ss or some personal reasons.
I wrote him a text concerning my feelings and why we ought to cut ties, he's yet to reply albeit but my mind is made up, it's the only way I can escape his emotional torture.. life is too short to be associated with toxic and life draining people. I'M A SURVIVOR

Never make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings.


I understand your frustrations but sending him a text to "disown" him might not be the best decision to take.
You are still young though, you still have a lot to learn about human relationships as time goes on.
Until he replies you, then I guess its fingers crossed for now.

@OP
i understand how you feel but i would advise you to reconsider..... whatever you do wont change how you feel about that man, whatever you do wont change who he is, whatever you do wont solve your financial problems. i understand that you expect this man to be YOUR DAD, but circumstances in his life may make it difficult for him to do so.

the man is broke and there is nothing you or him can do about it, blaming HIM because you didnt get the money for admission is certainly not the way to go about this issue. if you want to disown people for that reason, then disown your mother as well since she was not able to help you too.

here is something to remember: whether you like it or not, whether good or bad, whether talking or disowned, this man will remain your biological father.

it is never too late for someone to make amends for their actions, so although it may not be when YOU need him, it could still happen.

sometimes YOU have to make the 1st step.... what stops you from going to meet him, to engage him in convos, to spend time with him etc? not all adult act like adults, and its ok so long as you know who you are dealing with.

I cannot imagine what you may be going through right now. It's really tough when a child feel neglected by his/her dad. Sometimes life challenges are just the antidotes you need to make you stronger. Hang in there buddy. Don't disown him. You may be nobody today but you will certainly be somebody tomorrow. No condition is permanent with hard work.

Do you really need all you did? You should have allowed sleeping dog lie,than raising unnecessary dust. You ought to prove your worth in life,by turning out successful,than hating on someone who doesn't care you exist..learn to love life.

You should focus on yourself nd forget about dad for now. Get something doing and see how you can atleast raise 30% of your school fee then ask for help from relatives nd anyone.

Don't worry so much about the SS genotype,you are not alone.

you are too defensive of him, well the said he who wears the shoe knows where it pinches him right? what haven't I done to get close to him yet he kicks me away like I have leper.. he is just mean and wicked and the best is to disassociate with him.

ok it is your life, and you are the one living it. suerte!

Slimcurtis1:
dude you seem to be crossing the line, did I ever make mention of being gay in the post? where did you get that from?. his hatred for me started since childhood not now, you can imagine how long I have endured him

you have to give us as much details about him but, most importantly about your person, in order for us to be able to give you advices as accurate as possible. the fact that you want to hide your gay status (which is an IMPORTANT factor when living in 9ja society) while this is a faceless forum and nobody knows you, can only be counter productive.

you wanted advices and i gave you mine.......dont try to kill the messenger simply because what you hear is hurtful (but true).
Re: I Have Cut Ties With My Dad (right Or Wrong)? by Slimcurtis1(m): 7:45am On Aug 02, 2014
thanks for all your all your comments, I really appreciate. for those getting it wrong it's more than you can imagine. when I was younger I was really bad that I even had to question God the essence of my living buh with age I found out that life is what you make out of it, am grateful to God for giving me life no matter how painful it is am see still thankful.. to move on with life I realize I need to get away all toxic and future threatening people like my father.. the people that said I need him the question is does he need me. my relationship with him is like a boy deeply in love with a girl but very much away she doesn't give a rat ass about him, buh he still cling to her.. it's more than you think.

Please do what is right for you, no one has the right or power to make you feel rejected.

What exactly makes him a father? Donating spe-rm? Fatherhood is a process from birth to even when the child is a father himself, its an insult to real fathers to call one who cannot physicallyn emotionally or financially care for his own child a father.
Real fathers even if they hate the mother will work and build a relationship with the child.

OP, let him be, dont be bitter, sorry about what you are going through, stay strong

Op, your dad just sees u as already half dead becos of the genotype issue, so he thinks y spend sch fees on u? U cant change this attitude towards u but u can change yours. I dont believe in hating, just accept that he will never be there for u and move on. All the negative energy would just hold you down blaming him, just forgive him as someone who doesnt know what he is doing and move on. Create a positive attitude towards everything, dont feel short changed by any situation but use it as a stepping stone. If no finances for sch, look for something to do and with time you can train yrself if no help is available. Pls u are still young, dont join the group of 'i would have being successful if only someone had helped me'. Be your own help and get encouraged by your mum who has always being there for you, wish u all the best.

you can really tell if people are gay by their countenance... it takes a thief to know a thief... am not gay and it has absolutely nothing to do with the thread, why accusing me? you have to know me to pass judgment... well like the other guy said it's a faceless forum.. looks can be deceptive ...bye

Oh ok. I just read ego's post above about your genotype.

Really sorry about that. Good you have clarified, and I do hope you don't have such negative traits, because at this point you should focus on as much spirituality as physical determination to help you pull through this phase.

Forgive your dad, learn to know that perhaps he doesn't hold the key to your wellbeing and greatness in life.

I wish you the best in your endeavours and remember to start studying/planning now for the next jamb or any other alternative you desire and put financial measures in place little by little. Much hope there is.
