Dad,What Dad? Oh that guy that isn't here anymore?
My dad has barely been here the last almost 3 weeks. I'm used to being with him all the time. When he is here which is never more than maybe a day he doesn't talk much. He sleeps and argues. Thats it.
First he was flooded in a few hours away for a WEEK. He had gone away for 'work'. Then he has to go to St. Louis for 'Work'. And then he has to go back once again.
Each time we get a call we hear slot machines in the back ground.
Is this how my life is going to be now? Fatherless? In my most vulnerable years. When I need support. Is it going to be arguement after argument?
I'm not sure how to deal with this. If I talked to him he'd get mad. He wouldn't take me seriously. Maybe in a few years he would.
I honestly don't know what to do. Hes acting like somethings wrong. And I know there is. So does my mom. I've been sick for 2 months now. I barely see him. He just got over Phneumonia. He just tells us call and tell him waht the Doctor says.
Thats all. He just argues a lot. Over small and non-existent things.
I just don't know what to do.
Am I forever doomed like this?

Well... Maybe things will eventually work themselves out. I'm not the best person at this kind of stuff. My parents got into a big fight when I was 7, and my dad left, but came back a week later after Shauna and I cried so much about it. So, I'm always thinking that things will work themselves out.
I really hope things do work out, though.

He was supposed to be home this morning. Hes not home. Its 5 pm now....Who would be here for me if mom didn't get back in time? I guess my mom would called my bro's friend since my bro as with her.

My dad was never around much either when I was a teenager. He was so wrapped up in his work, still is really. But thankfully, now that I'm older, we've been able to reestablish the relationship we used to have. Just keep trying to break through to him. Maybe he will listen.

Hang in there. Maybe you should try talking to him. Maybe he'd listen to you. And if he doesn't, one day he'll regret not being there to watch you grow up.
