I've had this gnawing feeling in the back of my mind lately, and I couldn't quite figure out what it was. Until it dawned on me...

User post: How can I end all communication with my father for good?

nospam@example.com ()

My parents divorced when I was 3-years-old and I was raised solely by my mother with little to no interaction with my father. I don’t remember what happened or did not happen but sometime around when I was 13-years-old my father stopped showing up or calling. Either way, 8 years went by with…

A Father's Legacy

How many times have we as men, begun to create what we feel would be our lasting legacies; only to find that what we thought was our legacy was really only a selfish reaction to the world around us? So many of us today (myself included) view our surroundings through what I like to call, “envious contact lenses”. I used to find myself wandering why did someone who was obviously doing wrong have more than I did. Why did this person have the luxury car, and here I am on the bus? How could that person walk into Macy’s and buy whatever they pleased, while I struggled to buy an item from Walgreens?

So, without further ado, I present five lessons from my father.

Should I Stay or Go?

I received a message from my boyfriends father today, in short telling me to leave my boyfriends alone because he broke up with me 2 weeks ago but is apparently too blinded by my manipulations. I cannot get through to my boyfriend at this point, but you would think that a boy/man of 21 would be able…

User post: Step-Parenting

nospam@example.com ()

I grew up in a broken home. My parents divorced when my brother and I were very young. My mom remarried soon after the divorce and is still married to my step-dad. My dad is now on his 5th wife (my mom being the first). So, I grew up all of my life with step-parents and step-siblings. All of which…

Dads Weigh-in on Health and Weight Loss for Father's Day

nospam@example.com ()

This was Men’s Health Week at DietsInReview.com, and we invited several fathers from around the blogosphere to share their personal stories of weight loss struggle and success. Losing weight carries a very different tone for men than it does women, but the end result still yields happier, healthier people. We've dedicated this week to helping the special men in our lives take control of their health so that they’re with us for years to come.
