I dont have a great relationship with my dad because ive visted him and seen him alot though-out my life but hes never really been a permanent part of my life.He has five kids with 3 different women that i know of and it would surprise me if some random guy walked up to me and told me he was my long lost brother from another mother.
I decided that I wouldn't tell anyone who my dad was unless they asked, because some people want to be around me just because of who my dad is and that's retarded. People somehow tend to think that being a great basketball player makes him a good person but that's definitely not true cause he's a total jerk like most celebrities.
As for how he treated [my mom], they dated for awhile but where never married, and he has always talked bad about her to me even though she raised by herself and I know exactly what kind of person she is. To quote my father "Adam I always knew your mother wasnt the kind of person to have children with... but here you are" which I though was as insulting to me as it was to her, not to mention the fact that he has lied to both of us since I was born.
He lied to my mom and told her that if she would lower the amount of child support he had to pay a month that he would always be there for us. My Mom had to clean houses, sometimes being forced to leve me alone for hours by myself in waiting for her in the car or at home, just to feed us and give us a place to live and the child support mostly went toward my education. She also had to sell a large amount of her jewelry to support us at one point. Eventually during my senior year of hight school it turned into a legal battle that my parent draged me into without telling me what was happening. It ruined my life, and also my relationship with both my parents untill recently.I was on the verge of commiting suicide, stoped eating and had no will to live anymore. It is pretty recently that I got over it and its probably the reason I feel so comfortable speaking my mind now, to my dad or anyonelse.
