hi kibin. did your dad contacted you why has he been out for too long? if i were in your place i would feel sad since have been very close to my dad. my parents do argue but when i would try to intervene they would stop because they both know that they should not be doing that in front of us. my dad has always been good to us. he would surrender to my mom that's one of the best thing about my dad he would always try to understand my mom. about the money thing. my dad works, but all the money he gets from work goes all to my mom because if not we will have no money for future use as my father spoils us so much and is not really good in budgeting. i hope your parents would try to understand each other more. God bless you and your family kibin.

Im sorry for what you are going through. Most families are torn by the same problem; dad working abroad or never in the house. Sometimes, it is because it is the only way to earn some extra cash though, other dad take it as an excuse and do other things. I hope your dad come home soon. I really feel for you.

This is not all about daddy. This is a family matter esp when it comes to financial problem. I am sorry to hear this and if you are old enough,you can talk with your parents regarding this matter.

I'm very sorry your father chose to do something like that. You are deserving of a much better father figure. You deserve all of the attention you can get! However, I do know many fathers that are there for their kids, and I also know a lot of mothers who are not. I think it just depends on the situation. Just be thankful that when you have a child, you'll know how to be an amazing father because you're learning from his mistakes!

I have had a step father since I was 6 years old. I'm 23 now and my step-dad and mom recently got divorced two years ago. He was the father figure they also argued about money as well. I never got the opportunity to meet my real dad,we kept in contact on facebook, but he recently passed in november. I think whatever your parents are going throughm you should remain positive and keep your head up

I have to share you this, my Dad is always not in the pictures taken during special occasional. Seldom he will be included. In fact most of the pictures has our mom and the kids. But this means he's not around, he's the one taking the pictures of all the family occasions. He may be away but his thoughts are always on us. maybe your father is away because he needs to find the money for the family and to keep your mom from talking a lot. Men do not show emotions but they do have emotions sometimes more valid than women.

I love my dad and mom so much.I think their way of loving to kids is different.I feel so luck to have my dad and he is really a nice guy.I know that they want me to be a good girl and taught me a lot about life,now that i'm not living with them,but i do support to treat them as early as we can.

It's quite sad to know that you have parents who are always quarreling. I don't know what to suggest about it. You don't really know what is the cause of their constant quarrel. I guess there's something more than money.

Your parents are really having a problem.. I'm so sorry to hear that. My parents also used to argue with money and I hate it whenever they argue. Their voices raises and the neighbors would hear them. It's really embarrassing for me. I think, you should ask your parents to talk about it and let them know that you are affected. Let them know how you feel whenever they argue. I just hope that when I get married, I will not experience these things. This is really a painful situation. I hope your parents will be able to solve their problems. And for you, just stay positive. Do whatever you should do and take care of your mom and yourself.

Well he said two weeks it is still not for weks, so have two 1 week and a half more, maybe he got a complication, and will come back next week,give him time, I think he well come soon. About my father I can say that he is my hero, he was always there for me and still is,he is very comprenhensive and supportive father,I remember one story that my mom told, when I was a baby he didn't have money to buy my milk and he pawned his boots,those were soldier boots, because he was a soldier,that is a great example for me, because of this when I see these poor image of father that exist now, who just say I don't have money and send the mother of the baby to ask for begs and live for the begs of the walfare makes me see how bug is my hero he would never send my mom to ask for charity to anybody to feed his four daughter,he worked and worked and for us to be a responsible father, and still works being 76 years because he says that the day he stops working he would he sick and die.I love him with all my heart.

Have you contacted your father already? Try to ask him why he's staying longer than he should. That's really sad to see your parents fighting. My parents also fight but they don't throw things at each other. I guess the number one cause of fights between parent sis money. My dad is so good. He is very hardworking and shows to us how much he loves us. Though he really doesn't say it, but we can feel it through his actions.

Good evening dear mylloter friend Kibinkibin , first of all i wish to say that i really feel bad for you been in the situation that you are , i am currently twenty four years old , and when i was fivea years old my father left me and my sister , what i remember of him is that he used to be drunk all the time , i remember him stealing thingz from the house to sell them and buy alcohool , i also remember my mother and grandmother fighting with my father for wanting to sell the television and the video recorder that my mother had bought , he was drunk and had hited my mother and when i saw that i picked up a scrooldriver and wanted to stabb him , but mly grandmother started to push him out of the apartement and ever since i've never saw him untill i had fourteen years old , at that time my mother had remarried another guy and they were togheter since i was nine , so it was been five years they were togheter now , and i never knew why but my stepfather always loved my sister and i now realize that he hated me , another drunken , so i never had a role model as a male , my only role model was my mother , for showing the courage and the love that she gave me and my sister , and i've always told to myself that i will never end that like the scum that both my father and stepfather were. I wish you to get out of this impass as soon as possibile , but dont loose your fate dear friend , the sun will come up back to your street again , there will come a time for peace for you . Untill then i wish you a great evening dear friend. Hosman,

I am very sorry. But it's dad who is responsible to look after financial matters of the family. So they need to work hard . Think in positive way.
