    My dad took my sister out of the country and told my mum he was taking her to see harry potter. She ended up in Derby. Nuff said.

    Nope, not at all.
    Kinda makes me despair for humanity seeing so many people profess hatred for their immediate family.

    I hate mine as well, just hearing him roam around the house in his aggressive manner ruins my mood. He's always very negative about EVERYTHING which frustrates me like nothing else. He always has to criticise everything. When my parents had an argument and he ended up having to stay at home for weeks after an operation (my mum smashed a glass into his face after he hit her while drunk..), he took his anger out on me and emotionally abused me for weeks.

    I've had a grudge against mine since I was 8 and it's the type of grudge that's never gonna end. He doesn't deserve any forgiveness for the mental and physical abuse he carried out for years on end (domestic and sexual abuse). Haven't had contact with him for nearly 7 years now and never will.

    my dad left the country to go back to his wife and kids not long after i was born (he's the dad of my sister who is five years my senior... so it's pretty much me...). he came to stay with us once or twice and used to call sometimes but that petered out. I only remember meeting him once and talking to him once or twice.

    from what i can remember as a kid life was much better having him be totally absent than it was having scarce periodic contact.

    my brother's dad was violent and horrible and i would take a totally absent father over that every single ****ing time. he ruined my brother's life, he completely destroyed my mother... and it ****ed me and my sister up for life as well.

    anyway maybe a year or two ago now (not really sure of the time to be honest) i got into contact with some of my dad's other children over facebook (hahaha)... through that the family regained contact with our dad. my sister was really happy about this because she'd been looking for him for years because obviously, she had five years of memories of him whereas i have about one memory altogether. but yeah, he spoke to my mum and my sister on the phone and stuff but i was never sure i wanted to speak to him and he never really asked to speak to me either i don't think.

    barely a couple of months after that he died. i never spoke to him. it made me sad for a while, but i'd lived without him for 18 years and much worse things had happened in between so i was hardly going to dwell on it. and i never do these days. :dontknow:

    this probably did make me **** with men though.

    sadly real life is not a bourgeois idyll and family members are frequently total ***** to each other

    Don't really like him at the moment, if I'm right in my suspicions that he's cheating on his partner (who I really like and get on with)

    My dad left my family when I was three. My mom, sister and I got to know around 10 years later that it was because he had another family. Apparantly I had a brother. I spent maybe two years being angry at my dad, but more at my mom for not telling, but in the end I forgave him as he gave me the most precious thing in the world, my life

    Don't hate your parents, no matter what they've done, as they're the reason why you're here!

    Wow, it seems that I'm quite lucky to have a family that I actually like.

    No, I love my dad he's amazing. Pays me lots of attention, always happy to help me, always there for me. Even though my mum was horrible to him when they split, we get along quite well. He throws money at me and my sister too, took me out every week when I was a kid, gave me everything I asked for (within reason obvs).

    But he never disciplined me, never told me off, I always wished he was more of a dad and less of a mate. We had a very dark patch a few years ago. I'm perfect and nothing I can do is ever wrong or insufficient. It's cloying... I never made an effort in anything and I've always been lazy, because I never had to; he was proud of me whatever.

    Sorry.

    y'all got daddy issues mayn. loveyourdads

    Of course if your dad is an abusive, non changing and hateful man... I can see why you'd hate him, or if he neglected or abandoned you, it CAN be justified tbh

    I don't understand how you can hate someone who brought you into this world. My dad can be annoying sometimes, but thats because he's doing whats best for me so I have a good future. Killing him though..I rather die than imagine that happening.

    Aw that sounds horrible xx
    I don't hate my Dad, but I did for a while, because he and my Mum had domestic abuse problems and he is creepy and a paedophile, and after my mum died he tied to get me to change my last name to his, which he tried to do when I was 2 :/ but anyway I don't hate him because I know now he should be pitied, and is geting help, and he is my dad, and the only one I'll ever have, so I have no choice but to love him.
