DNA is the only significant thing my father ever contributed to my life, and I'm not even sure of that. He died 4 years ago. I didn't go to the funeral nor do I don't miss him. Found out that he had written me out of his will anyway. My identity as a father died 12 years ago when my son died from medical malpractice. My daughter abandoned me back when she was a teenager in the late 80s. I only hear from her if she needs something like helping her deal with her totaled car and DUI. (I was a paralegal in a law firm.) So, Happy Motherfuckers Day everyone.

Lost my adult son and have had long stretches of prickly-ness in my relationship with my daughter too but had a pretty intact and functional family of origin, and a great father. Sorry for your loss -- not just your son but the loss of the sort of childhood any child deserves to have.

On the other hand I'm acquainted with a LOT of family dysfunction coming from my wife's side of things so I have a better idea than you'd imagine of what a very sad and conflicted time father's and mother's day and birthdays can be. You're definitely not alone.

Sorry to hear about all that. You are not the only one who had a deadbeat father. Me too.

Some of us had less than ideal families. I'm very sorry to hear about the death of your son - I, too, have dead children. My only advice is: pamper yourself all week for being a survivor - you deserve it.
