So, my deadbeat dad won the lottery a couple of days ago. He has, for the most part, ignored me since me and my mom divorced when I was 6. I even became close with my little brother over my dad neglecting him as well after my dad and my little brother's mom separated.

My first thought was "meh, good for him". However, now I am starting to feel depressed because friends and family up north keeps reminding me over and over that he won.

"You know your dad is a millionaire now, right?" I'm almost 28 years old, and we haven't spoken in years, that has nothing to do with me.
"You need to reach out to him" up until 2013, I would call him once a year to tell him happy birthday (which is today), and I would never hear back from him, so I stopped.

"He might be looking for you" he knows where my family is, if he had any interest in talking to me, he would know how to find me.

I think I may be suffering from this for a while. Yes, I work for myself, and I feel like I am on my way myself, but I still resent him for him not being there. Not being there to give advice. It makes me not believe in Karma anymore. It makes me not believe in anything anymore.

One of the things that drove me the most was so he can see who I have become, and feel bad that he wasn't there to help. Now, that will never happen. Am I being unreasonable? Am I being too prideful to just reach out? I need some help on this one.
Is this a very long-winded way of saying that even though you don't have a relationship you feel like you should get some of the money?

Even if he does owe child support how would lottery winnings factor in

The only thing the government cant touch is someone's SSI or Disability. If you owe a debt to the government(child support,, court tickets, hell even parking tickets) oh yes, they can and will come for you.

You are telling a 28 year old man to go holla at his mom about looking into unpaid child support when he was a kid:gucci:


This is why no one takes women's advice serious. They are so selfish and only want to hear themselves speak so they won't see the simple holes in the advice they are giving:hhh:
selfish? the father is a deadbeat :what: he should definitely seek unpaid child support if his father didnt pay. yall dudes act like parenthood ends @ 18.

OP remember your father's misgivings are not your fault. I went through something similar to you. Parents divorced and pops out of the picture thereafter. I was with a woman who could tell I had a chip on my shoulder because of my absent father. She pressed me to get in contact with him but I said the same thing, he ain't looking for me. Shortly after her advice I got news that my pops passed away. At least make the attempt again Breh. If he doesn't get back at least you tried. Remember it's not your fault if he doesn't reach back to you.

Contact your dad and get money.
Absolutely not.

Don't even tell him congratulations.

Reaching out to him gives him additional power over you to crush you.

However, do get a blood test. The reward is when he croaks, not before. He may be operating under the delusion your mothers are whores and you all aren't really his.

I'll be real: the only time I'd snap is if he landed a stereotypical white whale and doted on her spawn.

Most important, get professional counseling from an African psychologist to deal with this internally. Your biological ain't shyt and the universe is okay with that. You don't have to be.
