Ur dad sounds like a fucking nerd
Anything good about me came from my dad.
My dad was an alcoholic who spent his entire life at a bar. When he was home he was either passed out or trying to fight someone.
First your dad came, then you came from your dad.. sounds gay.
My dad taught me being an abusive alcoholic faggot doesn't get you anywhere
My dad is a fat, overbearing Jew who used to threaten mom, siblings and me with violence when he lost his temper. Divorced and ruined my childhood lording over me with fear and shame tactics.
When he dies I will not be at the funeral.
I'm a mixed bag. I love my dad and I agree that many of the goods things about me came from him, but I also think the good came with a lot of bad, and a lot of issues for my family.
So was mine, but it taught me everything. I'm nothing like him. I coach 3 kids sports. Bring them hunting and fishing,. Spend all my time with them and it's awesome. Sometimes I'm still in awe that my old man was willing to miss all that.
I hate my dad. He's an awful, very short-tempered, childish and plain stupid person.
My dad was a Marine in the 80's and waved at Soviet guys who waved back when he was deployed on a boat that patrolled "contentious" waters. Come early 90's he served in Desert Storm and one of the few infantry guys that saw combat. Apparently he did some really fucked up shit; and one time I overheard him talking to his cousins (also former Marines) saying "I've seen .50s and MK-19s tear guys up, not fun". He went into law enforcement later, and when I was around 15 or 16 I questioned him about how he can deal with not immediately perforating POS street scum and not go insane. He responded with "We've just gotta try our best to be the good guys". His brother was one of the original members of MS-13, and he occasionally ponders how much his life would be different if he hadn't joined the Marines and became a cholo. He fucking hates illegals, and his gang brother actually got deported. Cool guy, really smart, but he's got the boomer mentality of browsing political Facebook memes.
I wish I had parents.
Love yours, anons. Unless they're flat out abusive, they mean the best, even if some of them don't get it.
My Dad taught me how to play the guitar when I was 8 years old. Changed my life forever. He also tried to teach me to be kind to others, even when they are not kind to you. I'm still working on that one.
Forgive them. Many parents suffer from cycles of abuse and/or addiction issues. It's usually not a choice. Rarely does a parent make a rational, sane conscious choice to abandon their children or maltreat them. It's natural instinct to love your children and want what is best for them. Forgive and you will feel better. Your Dads Loved You All.
My dad taught me how to kill and not get caught. He's been dead since 03 and I'm still free. Thanks dad, you were the best.
>Forgive
STFU with your made up Christian bullshit.
My dad taught me how to do jack shit. Still love him tho
My dad didn't show me much while I was young but it's no big deal because I was a huge piece of shit kid and became addicted to hard drugs at 15. Now as a working and clean adult we've made up all passt issues and have been going to hikes every week for the last 3 years. I helped him pick out a dog which he is in love with and we always have a great time together. I love you dad
My dad taught me most of the things he knows about swords, a bit about electronics and how to fix stuff like broken handle, door etc
Also how to make pizza
He's sometimes dumb but still i love him
Thinking family is special just because they're family is heavily flawed thinking.
Family is extremely important, don't get me wrong. But, like with any relationship or friendship, if someone finds that having their family around is toxic to them or the life they wish to live, it's a valid course of action to distance themselves from said family.
Keeping people around just because you 'should' can lead to some extremely toxic and harming relationships between people.
If someones father or mother is abusive, it's stupid to stay around with them at the expensive of ones one mental health and hope they change, which they most likely won't.
If you or someone else here is a abusive or otherwise fucked up parent, then sack up and change. Your child is not obligated to stay with you just because you raised them. If they're too young to move out on their own and distance themselves away from your bullshit, you are more leaving lasting footprints on their psych and by extension, potentially their future.
My father was not the smartest guy out there. Total CHAD tho. In his younger days he was a chef, drug dealer, and a womanizer.
My favorite memory is whenever he cooked that bomb asf breakfast. I'm talking the perfect Hashbrowns, steak, sunnyside up eggs, sausage links, and bacon. The best fuckn meals I've ever had.
Forgiveness has nothing to do with any religion.
I simply said forgive them. It's not for them. It's for you. And I added a bit about how these things work. They happen in cycles. You're correct about toxicity, but you can distance yourself from someone for the rest of your life and still find it in your heart to understand that they "know not what they do" usually. Forgive them and you'll feel much better.
Your Dads Love You All.
OMG I fucking hate you? How did u become so stupid?

Oh, my mistake for misunderstanding.
Reading comprehension doesn't seem to be my strong suit this morning.
I fully agree. This can usually be extended to a lot of crappy people who come into your life, though obviously parents may make the largest obvious impact.
Give it a few more years, you'll understand.
It's ok if you hate me. I understand how this shit works. Your Dad Loves You.
Im 39. I have little time for ppl like you who know nothing about life
>39
>ppl
You have time. Why do you think I know nothing about life? Can you explain anything I conveyed in a more pragmatic manner?
Zero appreciation, my mother was a dumb bitch who got to fucked up at a party and was brutally raped in a basement. She could not even find her way out of there untill dawn.
I met him twice in my life, Once when i was three which i do not remember, and another time when i happened to cross paths with him in public, I attempted for whatever reason to introduce him to my wife? Because she had never met him. He said some rude shit and walked away. To this day he has no idea who my wife is or anything about me.
He can die in a fucking fire for all i care.
I love my Dad but I gotta say that I simply feel sorry for any guy who becomes one.
It must be horrible to be in that position. I often think with horror about what would happen if I knocked up some slag.
Forgive him, he's just acting out his conditioning.
If u want to forgive go ahead. Nobody else has to. Forgiveness doesn't work for everybody. What's it like to be completely brainwashed about life?
Dude. Your just wrong. He knows exactly who your wife is because you introduced them.
that's one hell of a run-on sentence
Pls stop
What does this image convey? Smiling happily while being eaten? Is this a vore thing?
Forgiveness may not, but user has a point about acceptance. If you're human it will work for you, it's not about the other person, like he said.
Where did u get the idea that u need a dad to have a "good" life?
t. product of a single mother slut
LOL found the fucking faggot.
She never made it within 20 feet of him, it was a HEY i think that's my father. by the time she got to where i was he was gone. Plus your a troglodyte. Im afraid its terminal son.
My dad had an amazing work ethic.
He taught me to always be kind.
He was a horrible husband, but he repented and changed his life around and mended things with my mother. His ability to change, work hard on changing, and turning his life around was my biggest inspiration to get myself back up again after he died and I went down a spiral of depression.
looks liek a super yung ass patricia arquette to me? she was hot as fuck back then during the freddy krueger movies
Not everybody is like u and nobody should live their life to your standards
I wish my dad had taught me these things. I had to pick them up through other people. If it wasn't for sites like the Art of Manliness I dread to think what I'd have become. Sounds like you had a good Dad OP...
Never did, I said i had zero appreciation for him. I turned out decent without a father, im happily married and have a fantastic dog. work from home with my wife who lets me fuck her ass when i want to. I aint complaining, but my father is a steamy pile of shit.
>Amazing work ethic
Why is this good?
I'm not that user, but he has a point. I learned about this topic in psychology courses, in marriage and family specifically. Humans, on average, respond and react in generally the same way. Think about it, if they didn't, conditioning, imprinting, and reinforcement wouldn't work across the developmental spectrum.
> I learned about this topic in psychology courses
Stay brainwashed kiddo
Ooook then
I have you beat on this one haha I have it signed by both actors from the 1980s when I was a kid
Well he fiddelt with me as a todler then he began to steal my money when i was around 6 years old. When i was old enough to have my own bank account he demandet control over it with the mention that i would never see my family again if i refuse. Then he started to "lend" money from me for the next 10 -12 years every month. From my brother and later on my younger sister too.(because obviously i couldnt let go of my mother and siblings)
All these beautifull beautifull memorys. Dads are agreat!
Hopefully all of that fucked up 68er generation die slowly on cancer including yours. :-)
If I am wrong, then please correct me. Can you back up your stance with evidence? I can. Try Zimbardo, Asch, Milgram, Skinner, Freud, Pavlov, etc etc etc...
I met mine when I turned 24 years old. He left my mum while pregnant. He was very invested at the beginning but then his interest became a daily text message. I just don't get it. Congrats to all my Yea Forumsros with useful fathers.
"Know thyself"
I just think it's something very admirable. He was an amazing leader and taught us so much through example from his work. It just stuck with me and my siblings and is something we constantly work on.
When I hear stories like this I just feel like some mother's are just unbearable to be around. Maybe even got pregnant on purpose to keep a guy around.
I like this maxim.
I'm sorry I don't know much about life. Why is working hard admirable?
dad taught me that people are pieces of shit..not by being a bad guy he was cool..but he had went to war and always told me not to volunteer for anything and dont let people take advantage of you..if they want something, they have to give something...a great man...
I thought about it. She was already successful in her profession, had savings and a place to live. She just requested his last name for me. Dude bounced, he just wasn't ready or so he told me. Only they know.
I think I should rephrase it to working hard to meet his goals.
It's very easy to take the shortcut, the easy way, the fast way. But he had a huge clear goal. He worked hard not for a means to an end, not to get the day over with, but to reach his goal the right and honest way. Which he did, which was amazing.
Same person btw
my dad taught me how to fuck
Post story. Sounds interesting
That’s no way to talk about a Supreme Court judge junior
I found this from a channel that's sometimes on the /x/ board:
I'm sorry but I still don't understand
Welp I'm sorry. I can only tell you my subjective input as to why it is admirable to me.
I can tell you that it's admirable to me because he didn't have to work hard since he was already born to a wealthy family. Yet he chose to work hard to achieve his own dreams despite having all the opportunities for an easy and dishonest way.
In turn, I am born into wealth and I don't have to work hard. But I have my own dreams and goals, he taught me that honest and hard work is the best way to get there.
But that is my subjective personal reason. I don't know how to further explain as to why it's important to me. I cannot tell you how it's important in general since I cannot speak ethically for all.
what is this deceitfulness? moot is your dad now and you'll all take his dick like good boys
So it's good but u don't know why it's good...are u 12 by chance?
You autistic mate? I literally explained my subjective reasoning and told you I cannot give you a generalized ethical reason because
1. The OP question is subjective
2. What's so hard to understand about the word subjective that I've said it twice before?
3. If you want an objective answer, google is a thing mate.
good and bad are relative and subjective and also social constructs and also man-made bullshit
My biological dad was never there and the guy my mum married after him bullied me mentally and physically until I started standing up for myself at 13. He let my older step sister bully me an steal from me and let a druggie live in mine and my brothers room who bullied and stole off us to pay for his drugs. Fuck them both.
I hope you stub your pinky toe.
Your dad is Brett Kavinuagh?
>Can't explain shit
>Everybody else is autistic
Are you 12?
Ur bullshit
My dad was certainly abused too.
However, my dad has been unwilling to seek help for his trauma, refuses to face his demons, takes no responsibility for his actions and is unwilling to change his abusive behavior.
Both my parents hit me when I was a kid, but my dad did more physical violence than that and did a LOT of mental abuse. In my mid 30s he still needs to put people down all the time to feel okay. He also lies and manipulates to get what he wants.
My mom on the other hand has apologized for her violence and has done a lot of good things in my life to make up for it.
Ive cut contact with my dad, and I can see myself forgiving him when Ive healed enough of the wounds he's given me but I really have no need for an abusive person like that in my life.
Ive concluded that he's a covert narcissist.
if i was your dad I would have came inside of your little boy pussy and made you drink your unborn siblings
What's a dad?
prolly
...
I love you dad
Dad was in and out of my life until I was a pre teen.
Living with him became unbearable. His big brother actions led me to not have any respect for him.
He worked hard for me. Especially since he made so little. I never went without food but a few times.
Never really had anything else I needed though and if it wasn't for my aunts and uncles probably would've killed myself or killed someone or both in highschool.
I never got to know anything about him,his past, or any of his favorite things. And not fit a lack of trying but I don't even know why him and mom broke up or how they met or his favorite color or his favorite memory with his dad or mom...
I often think about when he dies, I'm going to have nothing for obituaries or eulogy. Ugh
He never taught me much, except how not to act. He acts like a child, can't take a loss in anything even his favorite teams. Wants to fight you for constructive criticism or negative comments he disagrees with.
His way or the highway kind of guy, very close minded. Maybe because his dad died when he was 16 idk.
If I spend a lot of time with him I tend to start loathing his company. He's abusive mentally, and he's confusing yelling and trying to prove his manhood.
I've been unnecessarily lectured and verbally and mentally abused for hours on in for faults not my own at times. I've watched him hole up walls, smash things break down doors break his fingers ruin my stuff destroy a good time over practically nothing.
I love him. He's my dad. But I wish he could've taught me soooomething other than what not to be.
I'm alot like him in many ways and I even look like him minus the height.
However, I will never let myself be like him in other ways.
I love you dad, wish you weren't such a brother.
