Thanks for sharing djv/AzRusty/BigJoe
djv, thanks for you for your write-up and AzRusty you better thank God for your Dad
He Da Man
BigJoe sounds to me you already may have taken the first step toward locating your father or at least express some sort of feelings to maybe reach out towards him.
I don't believe it would be an insult to your mother unless of course your still living with her or maybe you using her as a excuse not to come into contact with him.
(No I'm not a psychiatrist nor do I play one on TV
)
Its never too late to personally reward your mother.......
Cards, dinners,cinema, mow her lawn,
TELEPHONE CALLS,flower/smokehouse deleveries there are numerous things you can do to tell her how appreciative you are and how much you care about her.
About the $$ situation I can relate.
I don't use my Dad for any of his bucks
and actually the only time I will is when he passes.
Take care of your children they grow fast.......
unfortunately I find myself more and more like my father was to me.
I'm definitely on the comp to much when I could be passing the ball around with them
and rarely tell them how much they mean to me.
Best to you all
