The most hateful thing you ever said to Dad

Kimbercolt
when I was growing up, my dad never had time to show up at my baseball games. One day dad got me so mad, I told him, I'll never work at that damn papermill. He did the one thing that was worse that anything, slapped me.
over the years I saw he was doing his best to keep a roof over our head. I had three sisters. so making sure we had food on the table.
we use to run around in bare feet. We had shoes to go to school, and chruch.
I almost lost my dad one yrs. I got a chance to tell him just how much I loved him, and wanted him to know how much those words have been eating at me.
He told me not to worry about it, He was looking for the time to tell me his was sorry for slapping me.

    I told off my dad in a very disrepectful and harsh way once, and I regret it now. I thought he had been disrespectful towards me and I thought I was just returning it. But It turns out it was the beginings of Alzheimers and he didn't realy know what he was saying. Man, how I wish I never said thet stuff! [:(]

    I don't recall ever saying anything hateful to Dad, at least not loud enough for him to hear.

    The most hateful thing you ever said to Dad

    My father and I had an excellent relationship. The worst thing I ever said to him was I liked my Pontiac better than anything Ford was building. He had worked for Ford Motor Company in Dallas in the late 40's and early 50's, and was still very loyal to them. I could see it hurt him to some degree, and it bothered me enough to make me sell the Pontiac and buy a Ford a few years later.

    Kimbercolt,

    Thanks for making me miss my Dad ... it's a good thing. [^]

    It's easy to father a child but being a "Dad" is a different story. I lost my Dad in 2005 but his legacy is alive and well. I have nothing but fond memories with him.

    I grew up in culture in which we do not dare be disrespectful to our elders, esp. our parents. Having said that, I never said anything hateful to him. If it's bad, the only thing I wished was that my parents are more involved with me as I was growing up. However, now that I have my own family, I fully understand why.

    My parents' set of values is to provide, provide, and provide for their families (like their ancestors before them) in their hopes to make our lives better than theirs. Good, bad, or indifferent, it was theirs (and perhaps the only thing they knew at the time).

    Now it is our turn, my wife and I promised ourselves that we are going to be heavily involved with our kids and all their endeavors.

    I got rarely spanked growing up but I deserve it. [:p]


    Yours sounds like a mirror to my own upbringing.
    Trying to provide for four boys took up the time that Pop could've spent playing games with us. And it was never appreciated until we all got older. What he did instill in us was a 24-carat work ethic. Now, if times are tight or we need something we just can't afford, I'll take day work doing manual labor to make up the difference. Pop never felt any shame in an honest day's labor and neither do I.

    Like you, I'm having the time of my life with my daughter.

    And, luckily, so is her grandfather.


    Amen. Cheers! [^]

    When my mom and dad got divorced, he moved up to Alaska during the school years and came back for the summer and Christmas. He moved back down to WA a couple years ago. A couple months ago when he wanted me to come down to see him, I said it would have been nice if he would have been there for my childhood. He got really upset with me but I don't see which lines I crossed. I'm not a huge fan of him because he wasn't around very much and ever since I got involved with guns and hunting he has been nothing but an obstacle. He's gotten better and I can see he's trying to make up for not being the best dad in the past.

    I regret more the things I didn't say to him. I hope to get a chance to in the hereafter.

    If I did (and I never felt the need) it would NOT be behind his back.

    My dad died at the age of 82 back in '88. I never said a harsh word to him in his whole life. Best dad a guy could ever ask for.

    That might be in the vengeful rather than hateful category!


    I said a few disrepectful things to my Dad the particulars of which I can't remember, but I don't think hateful ever came up. It seemed he was always either working or trying to get some sleep with 5 kids, their friends, 2 dogs, 2 cats and a few birds running around the house. We all knew Dad as the provider... Mom was the enforcer!

    I wish I could take back some of the hurtful things said to both parents but they are both dead now.

    My father and I had some very bad years. We did however have 10 very good years before he passed. I don't care to remember any of the hateful things that I said to him, but regretably there were many.
