Check this out; stepdaddies, mommas that are both, uncles filling in, dog dads, big brothers, neighbors, or in my case, my Quora Dad, Mr. Dave Norris.
You don’t have to go getting your panties hitched up early on a Sunday about the back child support your weak ass baby daddy owes you. Girl, celebrate your backbone, and get with it.
You do not need to specify that your piece of shit brother took off with the nanny and left 4 kids for you to step in and raise. We’re all out here applauding you daily, bruh, trust me.
Like my own momma, who, God bless her, has her own set of faults, but she fucking tried. She’ll get her Happy Fathers Day, just like every other year, because y’all already know.
And if you couldn’t guess I have daddy issues, well, you haven’t talked with any of my exes recently, now have you?
However, I don’t sit around pining for a man who never could be a father to me, in federal prison or on the outs. So, I’ll do my usual, and thank the men in my life who have mentored and stood beside me, shoot my momma a text, and kick it with my dog, without the memory of that asshole ruining my day.
And if you think that’s harsh, let’s all remember how he called me “the absolute greatest waste of potential he’d ever seen in one human being”. While at a wedding. Of my cousin.
And the resulting altercation is why I don’t get wedding invitations anymore.
Well, fuck you and your nuptials, sir, I’m gonna defend that punch until the day I die.
He had more than that coming, but you know, some of my cousins move fast for big boys. And I blame the heels.
I digress.
Look, we don’t all have great dads. Cool. I get it.
You know what we do have? Excellent rib joints, good dogs, and probably some ball on the TV. Voila. Like a dad is there already.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, Y’ALL! (Especially you, Dave :)
Here's my letter-Dear father, for so long I wanted to ask you why, but I am okay now. Some things are better left untold; some things we do not have an answer to. From you I got my temper, and I can be vicious, hurtful, relentless and vile, cruel,and afterwards I don't feel bad and I should! I am disgusted with myself. Is that how you feel, too? Thanks for giving me exactly what I expected from you. NOTHING.
As a step dad, I heartily approve this message..
And he deserved that punch. Hope you broke his damn jaw.
