I am going to go meet him, I'm just saying I'm not the type who would feel like I'm missing something in my life if he didn't call.

I didn't even have his number to call him myself up until now.

Let me preface my post by saying that redtooth is full of shit and doesn't know what he's talking about, so ignore him. It's not the child's responsibility to keep in touch with a parent who has been missing for a great part of his life.

My advice, or what I think, is that perhaps something happened in your dad's life that made him reflect back on you and that he actually is trying to make a difference. What his motives are, I don't know. Maybe he's afraid he doesn't have much of an RRSP to retire comfortably, and he wants a free ride from his grown son, or maybe he watched Oprah recently and realized that he needs you just as much as you need him, in your life.

All in all, I would say it's better to know that there is 1+ person out there who cares about you, than nothing. Your dad, based on what you've told us, seems to want to get back into your life. He may have realized he missed out on enough of your life, and that he doesn't want to miss out on anymore. Or maybe he planned this out methodically, and now that you're over 18, he can get to know you better without having to take responsibility and pay full child support. Whatever the case, at least get to know him better because this is all just speculation, and maybe his intentions really are good. Maybe he's sorry for his mistakes. But don't make the mistake of just dropping him from your life, because it can really benefit you too. Definitely check out his motives though, because if he's only using you (like some deadbeat dads), than you can just forget about him. But as it stands, you have nothing to lose.

My parents divorced when I was like 8. My dad left me, my mom and my little sis for another woman. It's one thing that you love someone else, but neglecting your kids is just bad. He's that type. He didn't give half a rat ass about me and my sis for like 10 years, no call, no mail, no financial aid, whatsoever. He only gave my mum a call when my granddad passed away, and asked me and my sis to attend his funeral. I was like "go fuck yourself" and left. My mum was mad at me because I was being rude but I didn't care. My grandparents (my dad's parents) were assholes as well. They asked my dad to quickly leave my mom so that they could get more money from him (my dad's income was initially divided into two, for his parents and for our family).

My mum had to single-handedly bring us up till I was 14, then she met my step-dad who turned out to be a pretty cool guy. I used to hate my dad for leaving us, but now to think about it, it might be a fortunate thing. My step-dad is English-educated (well, in Vietnam, not many people are), so he takes education very seriously. He did his best to provide me and my sis with a better education environment, and it worked out pretty well. Not sure if my dad could have done the same thing to us, probably not since he's a dick anyway.

It's 4:30 AM, and i can't sleep.

Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Not being in contact with your son for pretty much all of his teenage years is called being smart.

Probably from my half sister (my dad was had 1 daughter before he met my mom) who was keeping in touch with him apparently.
