Oh I've been doing that for years, there's absolutely nothing there worth keeping
Through it all I have still somehow managed to remain a good, constant father in my daughter's life, but obviously I have betrayed her and let her down in a really big way. When she's old enough I'll tell her what I did and she probably won't understand, but I couldn't not tell her.

Actually, scratch that, I may not be the richest dad in the world, but I'd like to think that despite all my faults and my massive mstakes, I'm a better father than most, I spend more time with my little girl than any other father I know. I devoted and dedicated myself to her the day she was born, I may have let her down, but I will always be there for her.

Ok.
I would say, that although you are a good father, the effort you are putting in, probably with other aspects of your life, is causing you much pain and anguish. You are barely functioning, and you need to sort it, otherwise you will soon stop being the good father you want to be.

I passed that, Bart, well on my way to fixing most aspects of my utterly destroyed life and mental health
(ok, maybe just the life bit), it's a matter of coping with the single thought that bounces around in my head, haunting and tearing me apart, totally preventing me from allowing myself to get close to anyone, but I can live with it now, I can hold conversations, I can carry on at work and stick to it, I can appear normal to anyone who doesn't scratch the surface

self-pitying drivel.

You're kid will grow up to realise you're a fecking loser as well
and that's the shame of it. As much as you pretend it's all an act you're fucking unhinged and the innocent party, YOUR DAUGHTER, will suffer in the long run. Do her a favour Bert and sort your fucking head out before you ruin her life as well you selfish mentalist.

Bobby, I can see how you have come to this conclusion because of the way I act here
but offline I am a very different person, I get on well with my colleagues, work hard, earn a half decent wage and spend a lot of time with my little girl. She adores me almost as much as I do her, she is my best friend and I would do anything for her, she makes me happy, and I go out of my way to do good things for her every single day, she is my life.

The only way that I could possibly be hurting her right now is that I'm not able to form lasting relationships with anyone, whether it's with friends or women (I am seeing somebody, but there's not much hope I will allow it continue much longer), but I always have and always will dedicate myself to ehr.

I didn't once say I gave a fuck
if if she has your genes she will prob be a cunt too but let her have a chance. It may be cathartic for you to use us as cheap help but I have zero interest in you.

Offline you FUCKED YOUR SISTER.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 10 Sep 2010, 10:10, Reply)

long lost half sister, who I really cared about
and whom I'm fairly sure was only after me that way either because of GSA, or because her dad had jsut walked out on her, and I was merely the younger, nicer version of him who happened to be around at the time.

I was going to confess all this on QOTW the other week, it's very cathartic. I held my hands up to it, took my punishment and will forever use it as an excuse to tear myself to shreds on a daily basis. Nothing you could say will ever come close to what I have already convinced myself of.

Seriously though, floppy aubergine, yeah?

I wouldn't do that, ever
I made a mistake's all. My little girl is, and will grow up to be a far better, much more well-adjusted person than I ever will be because I can see the signs, I know what to look for and I know that most of my problems are inherited.

you will rape her and kill her before killing yourself. That's all I need to know about you.

probably, Monty
but at least I, despite mistakes of gigantic proportions, still get to spend three days a week being a good dad. Have you ever done that once in your daughter's entire life?
(The Cat Hater punch a cow for the planet, Fri 10 Sep 2010, 10:30, Reply)

Nah, I adore her
but unlike a long-long relative, it's a family kind of love, not a complete stranger who you feel like you already know, who you trust more than you ever should have, just because they seem oddly familiar
(The Cat Hater punch a cow for the planet, Fri 10 Sep 2010, 10:19, Reply)

Good for you.
You also clearly possess a certain wit and intelligence.
It's very difficult, particularly as a relative newcomer, to undersand, or to offer anything other than the worst kind of cliched cod-psychobabble so I'll just wish you all the best.
