 Re: Asking questions about absentee father... | |
This is why I got my son into karate. He has to answer to Shihan. Shihan is not a father figure but my son has to answer to him if he misbehaves. Shihan is also a police officer and teaches respect, self control, awareness, etc. He holds my son accountable. No it is not my son's father but he is a positive roll model and is picking up my son's fathers slack.
All my son has of his father is phone calls every other day that last about one minute and broken promises to come see him. I do not bad mouth except to say that it ticks me off that he does not keep his promise. My children know I have their best interest and I feel the same way they do. |
