Toria agony auntWe are all stronger than we realise and it isn't until we are thrown into these situations that we have to be.

I know its hard to accept that your Dad has done this again but you are going to have to accept that your Dad isn't and probably won't ever be the person in your life you was hoping for.

I would try and concentrate on what you have got in your life as that is what is really important.

Good luck :o)

martini agony auntI second what DrPsych has said. Talk with daddy and listen to his side of the story. Don't forget to tell him your feelings too.

DrPsych agony auntTry not to be scared, but don't raise your hopes so high that if he does leave then it will be devastating...take it slowly to get to know him. You should try to find out why he left in the first place - your mother may have given you her version of events, but he may have another explanation. You should just hear him out really. If he does disappear again then you need to realise that he maybe your biological father but not a particularly good 'Dad' - another words, he is not worthy of your attention since you have kindly given him a second chance to be a good parent. I hope that you have other family members around who do offer you consistent support however.
