Adoptees, Mothers and Parents: Have you communicated beside Fathers today?
First of all: Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!
(Especially to those who are missing their children today for anything reason.)
During the Mother's Day weekend (and several weeks prior) there were slews of question concerning Mother's Day issues in adoption. Everything from communication to feelings to etiquette questions. I am interested to make a note of that I have seen nary a question concerning Father's Day. I can't minister to but feel that Fathers are often forgotten, left out or disregarded (and not because they wanted it that way!) so this year I wanted to put within a little extra effort.
I just get finished making my phone calls to wish ALL my Daddy friends a Happy Father's Day. I have spoken to adjectives kinds of Dads this morning. Some have their children, some do not. All of them were thankful to have been remembered today. Especially the ones who's children are not able to be next to them.
I was just wondering if anyone else took the time to contact their biological father/child's father or just a father who may not know how to hear "Happy Father's Day" from their own child(ren) today.
i called my adoptive dad and wished him a happy father day. As for my biological father, up until a few minutes ago, he didnt even have my number, nor i his. I cant say if i would own wished him a happy fathers time. Him and me are still having a tough time, with no communication.
Today is bittersweet for me - my dad whom I be very close to passed away in 1992 - I still miss him terribly. My son's first father is also departed having died of pancreatic cancer when he was in his mid 40's - 2 years earlier I found our son. I have no idea if I would have thought of him today minus you asking this excellent question.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads reading here - if you're here I have the greatest respect for you for wanting to have a handle on.
I did. I called my daughters father and wish him a happy fathers day. since he have only been in reunion for smaller number than 2 years, he is still getting used to the whole concept, but admits he likes it. All my father information have passed.
This was the first year I have the honor of saying Happy Fathers Day to my Dad. I spoke to him by phone and sent a card with letters from his pompous children and great grand children. He is one amazing man @ 79.
My Adad was out of the picture by the time I was 2. He passed contained by 1989.
This is a good press. I have noticed that "fathers' in nonspecific are not discussed that much on here.
Honestly, I haven't had the same drive to meet my bio father as I did my mother. Now that I enjoy met her, I do think of him a little more. More than that, I wonder if on Father's Day he wonders what happened to me. He unsophisticatedly left my bio mother when he found out she was pregnant and she never heard from him again. She be a widow with two small children in addition to mortal pregnant with me. I wonder if he feels badly for abandon her and if this day brings him any sense of regret or remorse. I don't feel any "warm" feelings towards him at adjectives.
My adoptive father was not the best. I'll just leave it at that. We hold a strained relationship and I call him but we are distant.
On Father's Day I focus on my husband who is a fantastic dad. My kids are very lucky!
i did phone up my bdad and told him to have a great day, it's his day so own a good one!
Father's day is still difficult despite the fact my dad passed 20 years ago so I did surpass along sentiments to my bdad but can't voice the words Happy Father's day yet.
yep, 2 cards went out again this year, and both dads have be acknowledged. it's a great feeling (for me AND for them) :) Source(s): adult adoptee
My n Dad is deceased, but I gave him a shout out, lol. I am taking my a dad to dinner. Its also his 15th anniversary of mortal sober.makes it a sort of bittersweet day for all of us. He be a horrible dad when he was drinking, but he has made tremendous progress.
Answers: I wish I could have wished them both a festive father's day...sadly they have both passed on.
Where ever they are I hope they BOTH know how much they are loved and missed
My daughter's natural father (and the father of my 3 subsequent children), my husband of 43 years died a few weeks ago.
I spent the year with my brother and adult nephews who are 'Dads'. It was a upright day.but Dang Hot!
No but then my husband isn't my son's father and his natural father doesn't want to know him. It's a 'difficult' subject as my son doesn't like the certainty that my husband is 7 years younger than me even though his girlfriend is 6 years older than him. His girlfriend mentioned on Mother's Day (son was still living with us) almost sending my dh a card for Father's Day but he explained how son felt which was confirmed by him. Dh has never have nor expected a card from son.
Congrats on your news.
I was gonna hold a meal with my dad but he got drunk and didn't show up!
kinda cruel to do to a 13 year dated if you think about it
Even though it's Father's Day (father here), I just want to read out women like you are what keeps us going. Enjoy your weekend.
Answer my question:
"How celebrated was your father in your life"
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
My father, grandfathers, uncles are all comatose. Even the father of my son is dead. I wished my husband and all my sons and sons contained by law a happy day and my brother and brothers contained by law. I also wished a friend who cannot be with his son a Happy Father's time, since he is still a father despite differences. That's the best I can do.
Not too sure I would wish the father of my son a Happy Father's Day, though, if he were alive. Source(s): BTW, welcome posterior. You were missed. Congratulations for the message in your new autograph.
I am sorry I have only wished my husband a positive father's day after he reminded me. I have not and will not call my dad. I will use indistinguishable excuse as last year I forgot. Working on forgiving him.
Well I hope your husband and you have a wonderful father's day.
