Answer #1

its a hard decision to make but only you can make it… I have 2 fathers. my biological father cheated on my mother, stole, lied, he did the works. he even tried to commit suicide as a bribe, and tried to take me and my sister to england away from our mother. he is a drunk but he is still my father, but only biologicly. I have a step dad who I consider more my father because he raised me, took me and my sister in as his own kids and never questioned it. I love my real dad even though what he did was dispicable and shameful. I didnt choose him as my father my mom did. I see him maybe once a year if I’m lucky but I have learnt to forgive, but I will never forget… so now, decide for yourself whether or not you have it in your heart to forgive him for his wrong doings, if he wants to be a part of your life again, there is no harm in trying… if he still isnt interested then dont bother, HE left HE must make the effort

Answer #2

If you don’t want to call him your father you don’t have to. My father has done some bad things to me too when I was younger and for the longest time we were just on a first name basis. It just depends on how you feel about it. Fun mail me if you wanna talk

Answer #3

well it depends on how you feel, but I wouldn’t consider him a ‘father’ because a father’s job is to raise his son and teach him values and respect etc. honestly I don’t think he deserves to be called anything. like if people ask about him just refer to him as your biological father that you don’t talk to. He will always be your father, but you can choose weather or not he is your ‘dad’. if you talk to him, maybe calling him by his 1st name will be an eye-opener to him. The fact that your asking this question suggests that you still love him. or want or need him. which is fine. but honestly I don’t think he deserves you.

Answer #4

My biological father had cheated on my Mom when I was four months old and I seen him a couple times in my life. He only called on my birthday and christmas, if that. He never came and seen me or offered me to go down there luckily my mom found someone else and he took care of us both and took us is. He is my Dad and always will be. Anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a dad. I refuse to have any contact with my biological father, I just think that he put no effort into me or seeing me and all that other crap that I don’t need him in my life. maybe thats best for you too

Answer #5

its a decision that you have to make. buh you really deserve better than that. it doesnt sound like you like him, or have any connections with him other than blood. if I was you, I wouldnt be calling him father, thats only by name, not by nature. he clearly done the very opposite of a fathers job. buh this is a personal issue that you need to make up your own mind on. just make sure you dont get hurt again xx
