    Well, I was having a boring afternoon until this thread. 

    I haven't seen my father in 2 years. He has a bunch of mental issues and - for my own sanity - I've distanced myself from him. However, I do always answer my phone when he calls once very few weeks because I know the conversation will be short. I am now eternally grateful for our relationship, because compared to this one it at least seems genuine!

  • Dear "Donor" (because you don't deserve to be called Father),

    I'm not sure what you were expecting when you posted here but you just made me appreciate my divorced parents so much more. I get what you're saying about the importance of money but your acts are just based on your personal opinion and temper tantrums. You are a pathetic parent and don't deserve to have a relationship with your daughter.

    Don't be a part of her special day, you shouldn't even show up.  Don't give her ANY money. It's obvious you don't believe in gifts so you'd be hurting her and her FI if you took something back from them again. Don't be surprised if your daughter doesn't want to be escorted by you or have a father/daughter dance and by the looks of it; you won't be meeting your grand-children.

    Omg. seriously... no one quoted the original post somewhere!?   We need to make that a new rule somehow.
  • OP, I hope your daughter cuts your nasty, vindictive, selfish arse out of her life. She's better off without your poisonous brand of love.

    The divorce doesn't surprise me. The nearly 20 years of marriage does.

    Oh how I wish TK had a like button.

     

  • All I can say is you know they make meds to treat mental illnesses right? Also might to seek treatment for that narcissism.
  • Well, this has exploded since I started reading it.  It's scary how much the OP sounded liked my father.  I know he's not (my parents legally separated 5 years ago... tomorrow, I think and are STILL not divorced), but he illustrates perfectly why I haven't seen my father since August 2011.

    I've been a lurker for a long, long time (I had a different username but created this one for internet safety reasons) and have seen a lot of crazy but this guy takes the cake.

  • Heh, anymore now, I just TK from my phone during the day. My workplace has a super strict rainbows and fluffy kittens policy on web use. I've seen more than one coworker fired because they cyber stalk us.

  • Does anyone else think the daughter of OP, who is on TK, is the one who wanted to accept her father's money for her wedding, but then not invite him?????

    I'm doing pretty good. Had my first ultrasound on Tuesday and heard its heartbeat. It made me cry. Now I'm just trying to keep something in my stomach because I'm always starving. Lol
  • Did anybody besides me catch that insult to stay at home moms? He implied that being a SAHM is somehow lesser and that getting a college decree somehow means you won't/can't be a SAHM. My cousin has a Masters in Chemistry and chose to quit her job and stay home when she and her husband had kids. Anyway, I don't like people insulting my mother, DH's mother, countless other women I know and that lifestyle in general.

    I really hope this is MUD (or someone's idea of performance art) or this man completely changed after his divorce for the worse. I can't imagine what his daughter's life must have been like as a child.
    When I saw the DD subject, I was hoping for some beebee smackdown about why you can have your MOH carry a bucket around the reception ringing a bell and asking for honeymoon funds.

  • I felt drawn to this thread due to the title. OP not providing his child with a roof over her head at 18 reminds me of FILs. Only they didn't do the rest of the crap OP did, so FI still has a decent relationship with his parents. When FI was planning on living in his car because he was in college with 3 part time jobs that still didn't amount to rent for a month, we were just starting to date. I kind of forced him to move in with me. He was not comfortable at my parents' house, but it was better than living in the streets. FI felt awful about "mooching" off my parents. OP, I just wanted to tell you how sh!tty it was to force your daughter to move in with her bf because you needed to "re-establish" yourself and you didn't have room. I can imagine that your daughter felt awful about herself for awhile there. And by the way, You more than likely did have room. It's called a couch. Geeze! 

    I don't have any advice, OP just made me angry.
