My real dad

Ok a couple years back I found out my step dad wasnt my real dad.the reason my mom didint tell me cause my real dad was a bad influence and he wanted to meet me a couple years back.thats when my mom told me,my q is should I meet him since hes a drug addict/alcholic or should I give him a chance???/

Answer #1

I say give him a chance. you dont want ot go the rest of your life not knowing what could have been.

my real mom is/and has been a severe drug addict for as long as I can remember and I love her to death. I know its not your most ideal situation but my mom does drugs and drinks daily and she hasnt really been there for me ever but she is my mom and I love her and I wouldnt ask for a different mom if ij could. of coutrse I wish things were different but you just have to accept it and know that they dont mean to be the way they are. drugs really take a hold over a person and over their priorities. so all im saying is try to give him a chance and if nothing comes of it atleast you know you tried. and also keep in mind once someone becomes dependent on drugs its extremely hard for them to see what is truely important but if they have nothing to fight for then it will most likely not change. but who knows maybe you can be all the motivation he needs. drug addicts are still people and they are not bad people they just have made some bad decisions and once you fall in its sooo hard to get out.

good luck

Answer #2

well I kindof had the same thing. when I was about 9 my grandpa was a druggie. ( my mom had me when she was young) so he was only in his 30’s well he wanted to meet me and I always thought that my step grandpa was my accuall grandpa. so I desided that I wanted to meet him even tho he wouldnt evn claim me as his own grandoughter and he was really mean to my mother when she was younger. anyway. I met him and he apologized and wanted to me appart of my life I told him no. he asked why and I said because I dont wanna live withsomeone who dident even want me from the start and because your a druggie and I dont wanna be like you. a year lator he was completely off drugs alchol everything. ( this is just a short verson of what happened.) so I would meet your dad. you never know f you couldd end changing his life for the better. well its completely your desison. so good luck. hope I helped. =]

Answer #3

I think you should give him a chance and if possible meet him. as you know there times we made big mistakes, but what matters is we came back.

Answer #4

I would not meet him UNLESS he was clean and sober for at least 6 months AND he has been through rehab AND is going to AA meetings and has a sponsor AND at least the first time you meet, his sponsor is with the two of you

If he is not yet clean and sober and WITH A SPONSOR, tell him that if he wants to see you, then first he has to get his life cleaned up.

Remember that right now he was just a sperm donor. Your REAL Dad is the man who stuck with your Mom and helped to raise you with love and patience - the man you now know is your step-father.

I wish you well. Take care and Good Luck!!
