My father was a deadbeat who beat my mum and sometimes myself. He was in a gang, and was never home. The first handgun I ever saw was one that my dad brought home. When I asked him where he got it from, he said he has a friend who's a police officer, and that he lent it to him. I was young and believed him. I don't know what he did, but he would leave the house for 2-3 days at a time, and when he finally came home, he would sleep for 16-24 hours or so. Then he would leave again for another 2-4 days. And now I haven't seen him for the past 9 1/2 years.
We were also poor because he's an idiot with money, and this is despite the fact that he had cocaine hidden in our house somewhere. Well, I think he did. Nobody ever told me that he did, and I never saw it, but I had a feeling that he had cocaine in our house and that he sold it. I can't believe that ******* couldn't have been a bit more rich so that I wouldn't have to worry about not having electricity. I didn't even turn on my bedroom light, even at night when it was pitch dark, because I was afraid it would cost my parents too much. Yeah.
CompUser's dad is away from home because he loves his family and works hard so that they can live comfortably.
If you're going to ask him to move, then tell us how it went. Tell your mum and brother/sister how you feel first, just to get their support and understanding. Then tell your dad how you feel with the backing of everyone else. However, explain why you're "complaining." You just want to see him more often, and if that means you have to move, then that is fine with you. Don't make his life harder by giving him more to worry about.
I know you want to see your dad more often, but I haven't made a thread to vent in myself, and I think you have it "lucky." However, I realize there's a fine balance between work and play, and balancing them is better for everyone. If he says he doesn't want to move, then accept it. Honestly, there's no point complaining when you have it made.
