Question Posted Wednesday October 19 2005, 1:23 pm
I have lived with my mom since i was born. I don't know my father because my mother and him broke up before i was born. It really bothers me and i have mood swings now. I will be happy but then someone will say something and i get really upset. I have talked to my mom about not knowing my father and how much i really want to meet him but all she says is "he is an asshole and you dont want to meet him" which always leaves my crying myself to sleep. What should i do because i really want to meet him?

someone else said that if he really cared he would come looking for you. that is not always the case. i know this from personal experience.
if she still doesn't let you, you could try finding him yourself. she will probably be upset about it though..so your best bet is to keep talking to her about it at an appropriate time. [ iSpEaKsPaNiSh's advice column | Ask iSpEaKsPaNiSh A Question ]

I would suggest that you tell her that is your choice whether you want to meet or not. Or you could ask your mother why he is what he is. My mother always told me my father was a jerk and when i would hang out with i finally understood what she meant. I think that you should do what you feel is right. You shouldnt have to cry yourself to sleep [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]

2. You probably don't want to meet him. He's probably an asshole.
3. If you really want to meet him, look for him. All you need is a name and anything is possible.
4. If you find him don't be surprised if he's an asshole and doesn't want to see you. Chances are he'd try to meet you if he really cared that much.
