I, kind of, know what this is like. My own father left shortly after I was conceived and has had nothing to do with me my entire life.

I have written a poem based on mine as well it's called "Father of Mine" and can be found here. [link]

my dad left not long after i was born as well. occasionally, whenever he feels like it, he may grace me with his voice or send $$ or somthin but that cannot fill the empty void in my heart that can only be filled with a true father....
Truth be told, i really want a father, and not having a father truly there for me or even a father figure, has had its negative effects. I need to fill that void...

I said conceived... meaning I was still in the womb. He left because my mom wouldn't get an abortion...
If it wasn't for a court order, mine probably wouldn't have even payed child support. He has never done anything more than that.
I know there are negative effects... I know them quite well ^^;
