Who has issues with their Pops?

[no.]

My father is a great father

Sometimes we gotta be easy on pops. There are two sides to a story. We grow up and see what pops had to go through. It ain't always easy and some are stronger than others. Some of our mothers were liars, thots, or jus plain stupid

At least you have a father

If you were in my shoes you wouldn't say that.

My Mom and grandma were my father figures growing up. Dude was locked up 90% of my growing years. I chad to find out how to be like a man through my mentors, and it was after I graduated HS.

Please see my reply above. Everyone's story is different.

I used to be angry as fukk but not anymore.
I saw him about 3 years ago for the first time in 17 years and it was looking in the mirror.
He's just an old dude to me, he used to be superman in my eyes as a kid but he was never there.
A lot of shyt I had to learn on my own or from old heads on the block that kept me out of trouble because they saw potential in me.
After that visit I cried like a baby, I just didn't understand why he didn't want me or why he couldn't apologize for the heartache, I just wanted some answers.
But since then I've come to accept we all have demons and reasonings/circumstances in our life that make us do things. His pops died of cancer at a young age, so he didn't see it growing up so how was he to raise me.
All I know is the cycle stops with me and I will be the best dad if I ever have a seed.
We are not close but I hit him up once in the a blue moon.
Wish we could be close but tis is life

aww.

The last time I saw my dad, it was about 10-11 years ago. To that point, I hadn't seen him in about ... 7 years? He was around for like, the first six years or so of my life before he and my mom split. From that point, it was mostly just him sending birthday and Christmas gifts to my brother and I from that point to the time I turned 18 (my brother is a year and a half older).

I told my pops what I was up to (had just earned a full-ride scholarship to college). He cried and said he was proud of me and gave me the strongest hug I've ever received from him.

I have some dormant resentment toward him for not being there, and as a result being a better father to my future kid(s) than he was to me is a HUGE goal of mine, but having asked my mom about that relationship ... it was best they split. I do want his side of it, though. Just want to have THAT conversation with him, for real.

My dad was a pretty great father when I was younger, but when my mom decided to leave him, he decided to leave me... haven't seen him in 10 years, and I've only talked to him on the phone like 3 times in that time period.
