[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he have other children? You might be able to talk to them and find out more about who he is as a person.[/quote]

Different mother, yes. 1 was killed. He tried to get our dad to talk to me. The other just passes along his excuses. "Dad said he doesn't travel is much...whatever that means" and that's why he couldn't come to the babies' dedication . [/quote]

Why would you expect he could come to a babies dedication? that is a strange invite for a man you haven't seen or spoken too in 36 years. You have to let go of having him in your life as a father. He isn't rejecting you, he doesn't even know you. Who knows why he won't talk to you - guilt? pride? fear? denial?

Your half sibling should be able to tell about what kind of man your dad is. Don't go to him as a go between, just ask him to tell you about his dad and his life growing up. That might answer some of your questions. Did he compensate by trying to be a great dad to his next family? Was he an angry alcoholic his whole life? [/quote]
