[quote=Anonymous]I grew up without a dad. He moved a state away when I was in middle school after leaving my mom when I was 5. It was hard when I was a teenager b/c I was just so pissed off at him. He lived one state away and couldn't be bothered to visit much or have me visit him. I felt more self conscious too about not having a dad for the Father/Daughter stuff. My mom did beg him to show up for a FD Dance and he did once. I think it will be easier for your daughter OP w/o having her dad in her life at all. My dad was so close but yet couldn't be bothered. That hurt a lot. She will think it has something to do with her (that's normal) but just keep repeating the same mantra. If you want to say, "Your dad wasn't ready to be a parent" then stick to it.
