Abandoned relationships

Originally I was going to title this "Fathers" but relised that mothers can too abandon their children. My mother had a relationship with a married man, and got pregnat, the only picture I can see is him shrugging his shoulders, and walking out. I've never met my father, and I haven't seen a picture of him. I know his name, and I've met his daughter (my half-sister.) I don't know how to contact him, or I would, I've searched his name, found that he works for his town, but couldn't find a listed number to contact him by.

I'm curious, who else has a relationship in which they were abandoned, could be by a father, mother, both, etc. How do you cope with it? Do you have stress over it sometimes? Do you ever imagine seeing them? For those who don't know what they look like, do you try to picture them?

Discuss here!

 

My brother had a similar experience but he was abandoned twice. His father got my mother pregnant and just left. He just met his sisters last year and I don't know how his relationship with them is. My father and my brothers second father raised him and took care of us until he turned into an alcoholic and my parents split. The only reason I found out my brother was my half brother was because one day my father came over to visit and we ended up fighting and he yelled out to my brother "You're not even my son", then my mom explained it to me. Up until this day they hate each other and I hate to see it like that especially when all you really want it for everyone to be close and just be family.

 

Yeah, I'm glad my mom was always modest enough to tell me my step-father (at the time) wasn't my real dad. She divorced him over the reason that he had two other kids he didn't tell her about, it didn't make him a horrible man, and I still love him to this day. I'm glad I'm still welcomed to his home, and his son is my halfbrother. My sister (who lives with me) also has a different dad, but I've only met him twice. She is currently dateing a Bodybuilder, who i fear may be on steroids (Not trying to joke either, I happend to peek into his medical cabinet.) So I hope she isn't getting herself into anything too bad, he seems nice now, but I don't know what the future holds.

 

My Dad had an affair with another woman - he moves out and I'm currently living with my Mum. I was only 9 when he left, and I really struggled. It gets better as time goes by, and you need to stay strong. I became the man of the house at the age of 9, it wasn't very nice.

 

Do you have a good relationship with your mother? I struggle, as It's the same way with me, I've really been trying my best to keep on a good behavior since my mom, and her ex-husband split.

 

Dad left me when I was 3. I don't remember him very well, but he tries to be there for me. He was cheating on my mom for most of the marriage. He then had a baby with that woman. He was cheating on that girl as well. He went to Iraq and brought back an Iraqi Wife. He has been cheating her too.

He's a fucking player man.
