Imagine, living your whole life knowing someone or something was missing, and you knew there was no way to get it. My parents have been divorced since i was four months old, and all my life, it's been nothing but child support arguments and a whole lot of "getting back" at one another. My whole life, my "father" has been just a voice on the other line of the phone, or a stranger who visits every four years or so. Until now, I've never been able to grasp the reason why my "father" could never come around more often, or keep any od the supposed promises he made. My mom made it through fifteen years raising me without him, and i love her for it, but i've always had an empty feeling inside. Every night i would picture the perfect image of what my dad would be like. However, i came to find out he was the exact opposite of who i imagined he would be. He has two more kids with another wife, as well as my sister and i, but i never have and probably never will understand how a person can be so clueless and ignorant. Recently, i visited him with my sister, and he acted as if we've known each other forever, and as if he has always been around. I can't handle being around people who act that way, and that is why i've decided to cut him out of my life. That is pretty much all of my story, and since this all has happened, i've been able to move on in my life.
