You Asked: I Hate My Father
Dear Sugar,
For years I've had a deep ingrained hatred towards my so-called father. I went to therapy for two years for it, but I still have a lot of resentment built up. I've never had a real conversation with him, and I don't plan on ever having one with him in the future.
Group Therapy: He's Into Questionable Porn
I have a friend that had a baby 15 months ago and being so involved during her pregnancy and after her baby girl arrived, naturally I was named godmother. Recently my friend came to me to talk about her fiancé, the father of the baby. We all know that he dabbles in online porn, but after repeated requests for him to stop my friend finally gave up, figuring that online porn really isn't so terrible.
You Asked: How Do I Repair My Relationship With My Father?
Dear Sugar,
My relationship with my father has always been rocky, since before my parents divorced 18 years ago. It has been over a year since the last time we interacted — our last correspondence was filled with nasty, hateful words through email. He's never been much of a role model or a parent to me.
Do Tell: How Old Were You When You Found Out Santa Wasn't Real?
Do you remember the good old days when you believed in Santa Claus? Every year my dad and I would put golden brownies and milk by the fireplace, and I'd go to bed dreaming about what Santa was going to bring me! It wasn't until I was 7 that I found out the truth about who ate those brownies and where my gifts came from.
You Asked: Where Should I Go to the Bathroom?
Dear Sugar,
I have been dating my boyfriend for about six months already, and for those six months, he has basically been homeless. No, no like he's not a bum, but he lives with his single dad in their garage while their house is being constructed.
His dad has gone to great lengths to build the garage himself with bedrooms in the upper floor so they can get by until the house is complete.
You Asked: My Dad Had an Affair While My Mom Was in the Hospital
Dear Sugar,
A year ago, when my mother was diagnosed with cancer, she told me that she suspected my father had been cheating on her for some time, and a few months ago, my mother passed away. My brother still lives at home with my dad and was angry when he found evidence of my dad's affair. I was pregnant with my first child and decided to try and clear the air.
When It Comes to Family, Who Are You Closest to?
Of course, I love everyone in my family. Each person has a special place in my heart, and my mind is filled with so many memories of all of them. I love them for what they've taught me, how they've been there for me, and what we've shared together.
Dear Sugar Needs Your Help: How Do I Deal With an Abusive Father?
Dear Sugar and Mistreated Melinda need your help. How can she deal with her mentally abusive father?
Dear Sugar,
Since my father grew up physically abused, he feels that he has every right to treat me however he wants.
What Dating Advice Have You Gotten From Your Parents?
After my first real boyfriend (Bobby) broke up with me in 8th grade, I'll never forget what my mother told me to make me feel better -- "You've got to kiss a few frogs before you meet your prince."
It wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear since Bobby was the only "frog" I wanted to be with, but I guess a mother's experience is worth much more than I could give her credit for at my young age. Over 15 years later, I finally see her point.
Do Tell: What's your Worst Father/Boyfriend Meeting Story?
My friend PartySugar was just telling me about the first time her dad met her very first boyfriend. Before he was allowed to drive away with daddy's little girl, Party's Papa took him outside and to test his character and ability, made him change the tire on his car, there then, right there! The deal was if he was successful, he was free to take Miss Party out on their date!
