Somewhere Some Devil's Mixin' Fire And Ice Together

Thank you DU,

My father did not pay for my undergraduate school. My father did not pay for my law school. I completed all by the age of 25.

He never made me feel unaccomplished until I graduated from law school.

It hurts...more than I thought, I guess...

1. There's much more to the story if anyone is interested...

2. Please share..

Your post was sparse. It was interesting, but the lack of words made it really hard to respond to.

3. Thanks for the response...

I ought to take a bow...

My father left when I was 12-15 (I don't remember when) and I never held it against him. He provided for my sister in many ways (rent, tuition, etc, and it never bothered me.

Until I graduated from law school and did not even receive a card...

And on Father's Day, I didn't get the card to him on time - paid for his dinner - and he mentioned how "hurt" he was to my sister.

Like I said, it never affected me until that...

4. He is a dick... Harsh, but true.

I would be pissed if I was you.. But, it sounds like he doesn't care about you that much. He cares about himself, that is about it.

It sucks, but we can't really choose our parents. I would spend your energy to take care of yourself first. Everything else will fall into place.

I'm drunk.. grain of salt and all that. I wish you the best of luck.
