I like your poem. I had my father leave right before I was born because he didn't want me for a child. He ran away. I hated him and all forever.
I hate that feeling :(
Fathers don't know how to take care what they've been burdened with which frustrates me.

What u feel is pain not hate.
i once wrote a poem about anger. I read in a psychology book once that anger is just pain coming thru a very small hole.
I can understand the feelings u have 'cause my son feels the same way 'bout his dad. We've been divorced for years. it's really sad tho 'cause the Dad's that aren't mindfull of their children is so sad. They will never know the happiness they turned thier backs on.
hang in there and just always know it wasn't any thing u did, it's their hard hearts.
luv, huggs,
emy
keep letting it go thru your pen and someday you'll be the dad and let the grandpa by that time miss out.

I can tell that you are very angry at him. I went through a similar thing with my mom and it took sometime before I could forgive her. Maybe there will be a chance for that in your relationship too.

I feel your pain, I know just what you mean. x
