So the question is….who's YOUR daddy?
Sorry, just had to put a little humor into this.
This is REALLY long & please have the heart to read it.
I’m 18 years old & my dad passed away 10 years ago (when I was 8 years old) from a heart attack. In the last 10 years, my mom has had 5 long-term relationships (that I’ll admit to, anyway).
The first guy "Bob" lived (& still does) in another state & we only had 3 real visits w/ him. He would’ve been an okay step-dad, except for the fact that he made me very uncomfortable & still does. When I was 10 years old, he kissed me on the lips twice…one was before he left for the airport when he visited us & the other was really random & for some reason we were alone in his room. I have kept in touch w/ him through the years, simply because I’m friends w/ both of his sons (who are 18 [almost 19] & 13 [almost 14]) & also, I have a hard time saying goodbye to people. This man began dating a woman who had a daughter who is my age (2 days older actually). My friend (his son) & the woman’s daughter became quick friends & I somehow befriended her too. We have remained really close friends throughout the past 3-4 years & I’m actually more close w/ her than I am w/ my mom’s ex-boyfriend’s son. We have talked on several occasions about this man & she said that when she was 14, he asked her what her bra size was. Also, he took pics of her & her friends swimming & barely paid any attention to his girlfriend (her mom). "Bob" has said some things over the past few years that are leading me to believe he’s a potential pedophile. The biggest one was I told him a while back that a former teacher of mine would often stare at my chest & "Bob" goes "Well, it’s kind of hard not to notice…". I have told my mom about these things, but she says it doesn’t matter now since I’m 18 & if he was a pedophile, he probably wouldn’t want me since I’m no longer jailbait. WTF?
Okay so then she dated another guy (this isn’t in the right order I don’t think) who was an alcoholic & a rocker. I was pretty close w/ him, though my mom didn’t tell us until way after they broke up that the guy was slightly abusive.
My mom dated another guy who ended up breaking up w/ her because he couldn’t handle us kids (I have 2 older brothers), which was dumb because he raised 2 kids of his own & had a granddaughter.
The next guy ended up being a total a**hole & completely ditched her after she was diagnosed w/ epilepsy. She almost died in summer 2005 & whenever she’d call him from the hospital, he’d make up excuses as to why he couldn’t visit.
In June 2007, my mom started dating a guy who is now my step-dad. They dated for a little over a year before he proposed to her & they got married in a judge’s chamber in December 2008, but we moved in w/ him in August 2008. Things were fine from the start, but soon went downhill. The best way to sum it up is now they’re about to get divorced because they argue every single day (almost literally from dusk till dawn), my step-dad is a former military man & an alcoholic & just recently started becoming abusive & my mom is just as abusive back. This weekend, my step-dad went to stay in a hotel (he’s currently there) because my mom had to call the cops on him for abusive, except they didn’t arrest him.
I have been looking for a stable father figure for the last 10 years since my dad died & I’ve really been lacking. This has caused me to have crushes on & even love a handful of authority figures (I’ve loved 3, crushed on MANY)…teachers, administrators, police officers, etc. People get onto me about it, but they just don’t understand.
Where can I find a stable father figure? because it’s really started to affect me emotionally & I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever have anybody I can look to as a potential father figure. What would you do if you were in my situation?
Hi Soccermania, very sorry you had to gp through all that at such a young age. I imagine your father would be rolling in his grave if he read what you posted. I lost my father when I was five, my mother never remarried but I often wonder what would have happened if she had. There is and always will be a gap in my upbringing by not having a father around. I am 52 and I really do enjoy helping people, so if your looking for someone who can give you advice or you just want to chat with about life in general please feel free to look me up anytime. You can click on my profile to contact me or send me an IM. I have a soft spot in my heart for helping younger people because I can relate to not having a father. By the way I like your sense of humor, lol.

Wow, that’s a lot to deal with, and I’m sorry you had to go through all of that.
The answer to your question is that there is no good answer. Sometimes, not all people are blessed with a loving home life. It sucks, but it’s the way it is. My recommendation to you would be to accept that you most likely won’t have a normal father figure, and try to move on from there.
You have moved in the right direction already in that you recognize and understand that you have been traumatized - the tough part now is applying that to future decisions you make. You need to actively think about the people you are getting yourself involved with, and ask yourself, why am I attracted to this man? It will be important for you to truly analyze a person for who they are, as opposed to what they do/how they act.
In addition, I would recommend that you stop "looking" for a father figure or potential mate. The best ones usually come upon you without your searching. You’ll eventually meet someone who makes you happy, and it probably won’t happen the way you expect it to.
Keep your head up, and try to focus on the future, instead of the past.

You got a lot to deal with. Im so sorry about everything. This must be really hard on you. I would suggest you tell you mom. You’ve been alone for 10 years. It’s gotta be hard. Think about your mom. Thats all I can really say. Once again Im really sorry.

So sorry what you had to go thru, men ( and some women ) are jerks. U have not said any thing negative about your biological father that is so great. Do not try to look for a replacement, keep him in ur heart as your one and only Dad. Ur Mom on the other hand , can really pick circus freaks. Do not do what ur Mom is trying to do, replace ur Dad ( her husband ) .
