MY FATHER IS SCUM (don't worry, no more caps lock)

Post Reply New Topic

I don't really feel like I can type much, but I'll try to get a basic picture across. My father has left my mother for another woman in another country, I can't actually write the details at the moment because I feel so trerrible, but basically, he told my 13yo (soon to be 14) sister first. On a train. To Paris (this "new" woman is French, though she doesn't live in Paris). They were going on holiday. TO CELEBRATE HER BIRTHDAY (oops, sorry for the caps+ her birthday is tomorrow, they were going away for a week, not that you care, obviously). She came straight back home and he's still there. He always seemed like the most loyal person on Earth, this is the last thing anyone expected. There are loads of other details which make him SCUM even more so. I want to slit his throat.

Your father is an as*hole of the dirtiest kind. My condolences to you and the rest of your family. :\

Due to something my brother has done we (my family) are going through extremely tough times. And then he f*****g runs away like it's nothing. No care for f*****g anyone.

I was once in the same boat when my mother was with my father. He spent all our money on booze. We were in a lot of debt, and he managed to drop most of it on the rest of us when my mom divorced him.

We were poor to homeless for a long time.

I do hope your family gets through those times. :\

The thing is that he seemed like such a stable person, he was a bit weird mentally, he COULD NOT ever understand how other people would see things, he couldn't put himself in other people's shoes, but he seemed stable. And absolutely loyal. Not that he was a good person, he always complained about my mother (to her) even though she ALWAYS stood by him. She's the one who's suffering the most, and out of all of us SHE'S THE ONE WHO'S DONE THE LEAST (i.e. nothing) WRONG. Perhaps I'm partly responsible, I did criticise him for certain things and he really hated that, but he was so insensitive I felt I had to. Oh well. f**k everything. f**k f*****g everything. f**k it all. f**k THE NO CAPS LOCK s**t TOO. f**k IT.

I suggest you all start spending time together. It'll lessen the anger.

When you're all ready for it though.

I still can't believe someone would do that though. Especially when his family is facing tough times. Bloody coward.

I am sorry this is happening to you.
I have never been in this situation although my father wasn't the greatest in bad situations and didn't tend to be very involved with them.
I hope you can calm down and spend time with your family.

The stupid lunatic will probably end up being seriously screwed over by this woman, who will turn out to be a con artiste par excellence. Try not to worry about it, OK? You'll be in my thoughts.

Where are you from in this turgid continent, OP?

Don't feel too bad. My father sucked at being a dad too. Lived in the same town, and only talked to him 3 to 4 times. When I graduated from High School, he was locked up in prison. And he had the audacity to show up uninvited to my grandmother's party, trying make it seem ask if he was doing me a favor....sorry, rambling again.

Although he wasn't nearly as bad as this predicament, I sympathize....

You're too good for your father. I wish you the best with your future in hopes that he doesn't intrude in your life anymore.

This is horrible! I`m so sorry!! SCUM is an understatement!

Thanks for your support everyone.

Things will get better YourMother. My Dad acted in a similarly horrible manner (when he split up with my Mum) but I know from my experience that the pain and feeling of betrayal will ease with time.

I feel really bad for your mother, YourMother.

Seriously, I hope she's okay.
