Did you grow up with your biological father in your life?
 

I'm part of another community comprised of a lot of Big Brother fans and it just so happens that most of us don't really have father figures. I'm curious to know if the same applies on his forum.

Yes. Mum and dad still together.

I did....my Dad was...and still is...amazing. He has been the main role model in my sons life too.
He is amazing :lovedup:

Yep. My parents still going strong

No. My father passed away when I was 4.

I grew up with an amazing dad who I loved very much. Then he met the most toxic human I’ve known and now I have no contact with him. I think I was around 16 when that happened

Still, I’m lucky I grew up with one

For the most part yes, my Dad died when I was 15

Mine died when I was 3, do you have siblings? It affected my older siblings more than me because they actually remember.

That is horrible, did they have more kids?

I do, I’m the eldest though.

I did grow up with my Dad, unfortunately. He left when i was in my early teens (he left when i grew big enough to hit back). Have spoke to him on and off since, but not for about 5/6 years. I just hope wherever he is he's sad and miserable and suffering. I know that sounds bad and insensitive considering some of you lost your Dads, but if you knew him you'd feel the same. Used to beat my mum, beat me, beat the dogs. Horrible cruel person. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

I'm sorry you went though that, he sounds like a wicked man.

:love:

He was/is a very wicked man. And like with most people like him, incredibly selfish, manipulative and thinks the world should revolve around him. His parents/my grandparents are lovely, but he was spoiled rotten, got away with murder, and never challenged. He was born evil imo, but they didn't help by molllycoddling him, they still do to this day. He's the type of person to walk in a pub and announce he's buying drinks for everyone, not because he cares or wants to be nice, because he wants people to think he's this great, wonderful person.

Yeah, my hate for him is pretty deep seeded, im sure you can tell :laugh:

My parents divorced when I was too young to remember, but he's been a constant presence, no deadbeat divorcee :love:

Technically yes but he had very little interest in us, my mom may as well have been a single parent. They're divorced now, I was an adult then though

Yes

He was a truly wonderful man . Sadly taken too soon due to a malfunctioning heart valve

Thankfully he is still apart of my life now.

Tbh without my Dad and Brother over the last couple of years, I'd probably be in a really dark place.

Along with my Cat they've both really kept me going.

Yes Zizu :love: my dad was wonderful too. Died at 66 from pneumonia in hospital after being diagnosed with leukaemia. A true gentleman my dad was.

…Swan…:hug:..your father was the one with the true loss.…yes, I grew up with my dad, both parents have been a huge inspiration in my life …

:love:

Yeah. He used to beat me though for the slightest thing. I put it down to exhaustion bringing 4 kids up and working all day.. I always remember seeing him in his last few days dealing with pancreatic cancer, the shell he had become, I didn't know wether to laugh or cry.


I cried.

Yes.

:hug:

I have a similar experience. I guess he didn't know how to be a dad.

Ah, he was ok in other ways, like Xmas was always special, and he always made sure we will went in holiday once a year, but the pain left both physically and mentally due to the beating and more so the fear of it, has outweighed it as I've gotten older.
