My dad left me

Hi Christina, Well this type of situations sadden me soo much, because I myself have 5 kids and one of them is almost your age.
I have a daughter who doesn’t want to speak to her father he also left about 7yrs ago he started a new family and unfortunately for you kids, you wind up paying the adults bad choices as far as leaving the kids behind. I truely encourage you calling him, but, also prepare yourself to a response from him, please be aware that yes it can be a very nice smooth conversation, but then again it can be a deception to you.
No matter what at least you get things off your chest and you have a right to be heard. If you get the jitterbug write him a lengthy letter but let him know that you would appreciate a response and don’t give up until you get the response from him, remember you have a right to be heard. Regardless of what the whole story is and why he left he owes “you” an explanation, because it’s bologne that parents don’t have to explain to the kids. Hope something out of all this helps, good luck to you. p.s. I myself wrote a letter to my father, he left when I was 12yrs old and I continued to see him on and off throughout my life, but my letter was written when I was about 37yrs old too much time passed, so don’t let that happen to you. Oh yeah and he never told me nothing about it but his reaction spoke louder than words I can see he felt bad and guilty, but it’s ok I had a right to let him know how much he hurt me as a child. (we were at a fun family gathering and he went and laid on a couch and just pretended to be asleep).
