Now since then i later had a little half sister from my father; he never talks to me and my brothers anymore, it seems that we arE nothing and just a mistaketo him. :( Now tell me if he should be ther efor me or not?Divorce is it tuff on kids?
Of course he should be there for you. Not knowing the full picture, it's hard to totally give a complete answer, but..


Maybe your dad is going thru a lot right now - try talking to him. Call him or go over to see him and sit down and seriously tell him how you are feeling. I'm sure he still cares and loves you, maybe he doesn't realize what he is doing.Divorce is it tuff on kids?
Yes, he should be there for you guys. My kids are going through a similar situation. Their dad walked away without looking back...the irritating thing is, I never thought he was capable of this. Just know, it is NOT you, it is his failure as a human being. Just make a promise to yourself that you will never become this excuse for a man. Always remember how you feel right now, write it down just in case you begin to fall off track. I am sorry you are hurting.
Yes divorce is always tough on the kids... But make sure to let them know that you will always be in their lives not matter what happens and assure them that it is not their fault in any way... If he is your father yes he should be there for you....
sometimes it is easier not to have the conflict of two people who are different infulencing your life while growing up... it is not that your father doesn't care for you it may be that he doesn't know how to fit in anymore either. Write down your feelings and send him a letter give him ideas on what you would like to do with him it may help the situation.
Well, he SHOULD be there for you, but that doesn't mean he WILL be. It is up to you to either accept this or let it disrupt your life. My children face pretty much the same thing from their dad. They don't like that he has nothing to do with them anymore, but have chosen to make the best of their lives without him. Maybe you could write your dad a letter, and let him know how it makes you feel that he isn't there for you. Then, leave it on him. Maybe he will respond and things will get better. If they don't, then try to let it go as best you can and move on with your life, and realize that it is HIS loss to not have you in his life.
