I’m 26 years old and i have a 6 year old son who will be 7 in august. Ive been in his life since he was born as much as I can. Its been up and down since I had him and my dad has only seen him 2 or 3 times. He doesn’t call me or my son and he doesn’t love us at all. I broke down last night after an argument I had with my mom that stemmed from her arguing with my son’s mom. I just wanted to call him and tell him I need him, but how can he help me when he abandoned 3 children. Every once in a while, he’ll text me on a holiday or birthday and I guess he thinks i owe it to him to reach out but i wont anymore. I have before. He never told me he loved me, doesnt initiate hugs and never was nice to me. I havent heard from him in 6 months and I just need help being a father. Ive made mistakes in my life but ive owned them and ive changed a lot. I just need help staying on the right track and im lost … raising a son without ever having a real relationship with my father is killing me mentally. I dont have any father figure in my life. Its just me trying to figure it all out alone and i feel empty submitted by /u/nayneks
