You know, I was actually thinking about his story for months... Then one day I thought : What if his father objective was to make him the toughest person he could be. Like... He wanted say to him "Look, son, no matter how hard you work, there will always be people who will treat you like shit". I mean, chances are slim, his father was probably a jerk. But if his objective was to raise a resilient kid, he succeeded. As Thomas said, all he knew was work

No the father resented him from birth, that he had to provide for him. No doubt his own father was that way to him. You can't teach what you don't know and you can't give what you don't have.

His real father, God, his creator, his true supporter, has always been proud of him. This guy he calls "dad" was just a sperm donor and didn't deserve to have a son as good as him. But God is proud of him. God is his true Father.

"The words that follow 'I am' follow you." Thank you.

My Father was a very broken man. He was the toughest man I've ever known. He got that way; because his life was so hard. He had epilepsy when it was considered a mental disorder. He was sent to a hospital for the mentally insane on several occasions as a child. He was kicked out of school because of his seizures, yet was an amazing student. Had a sharp mind even into his final days. He wasn't able to drive and was never hired for a normal job. He worked odd jobs for anyone he could. For years, the only thing he lived for were my grandparents. Once they passed he had nothing to live for. Going to church and meeting my mother, I believe, saved his life. They had me when my dad was almost 60. He was not good at showing emotion and was very frugal with words of praise. I'd only seen him cry twice. As he grew closer to his death I'd learned a lot about how little love he'd received in his life. Even though my mother, brother, and I would tell him we loved him, he always had a bit of doubt that we meant it. He almost had the attitude that no one could genuinely love him. He was convinced that he was the reason I grew up with physical issues. I learned all of this from other people; because he never talked about what he'd been through. Towards the end of his life, I told him everything I had felt as a kid. I mentioned my frustrations about our lack of time spent playing together. I told him that I loved him and that it wasn't his fault for my physical conditions. After that conversation, we bonded as Father and Son for the first time in my life. As I said he wasn't emotional, but I knew he loved me. He started to say he loved me first, and expressed his pride in what I've done in my life. Once I learned to understand him better, and expressed it to him, our relationship became so much better. I'm very thankful we were able to become close at the end. I know, not everyone has that opportunity, so I realize I have reason to be grateful. I love him and miss him and Mom so dearly to this day.

I'm just happy most of the commenters realize how abusive and horrible his childhood was. When I saw this on Facebook a while back, most of the comments were about how he should feel lucky his father taught him such a great work ethic. No consideration to the fact that his work ethic was solely a cry for his father's love. The man had time to sit in the car but couldn't watch the hockey games. That tells you everything you need to know about how his dad saw his son.

Your father's approval is like the Little Rascals goat cart. Hang a carrot on a string in front of the goat and he pulls your cart trying to get it. He will never get a bite of that carrot, but the cart is always pulled. Sort of like the hamster wheel of a job.

I can't think of a sadder thing for a child to hear.

I think one of the biggest lessons any father hopes to teach his son is the importance and reward of hard work and how far it can take you. But do so in an uplifting manner. Sometimes there is a need for being stern, but it shouldn't overshadow encouragement. Belitting, degrading insults do absolutely nothing to "toughen up" kids from a young age, if anything it breeds resentment and anger which is counterproductive. Give discipline where it is needed, but always remind your son that he is loved.

This story really resonates with me. I often look at my young daughter and it makes me want to cry for the little girl I was at her age. The things I had to deal with at such a young age make me want to hug my daughter so tight. I love that both my kids have spirit and have the confidence to just be themselves. At their age I was frightened of my own shadow and still haven't found my peace but seeing this has inspired me to keep going. Making sure my children grow up knowing they're loved, wanted and supported is a start.

Had a stepfather like your dad. His favorite thing to say was that I was too stupid to tip over a bucket. I too moved out when I was 17. Now I have children of my own and I vowed to try my best in giving them confidence and to make sure they love and believe in themselves. The other day my eight year old came in the kitchen and just told me what a lucky and happy child he is and how much he loves me... I got so teary, bless him... I think I'm on the right track... Much love and happiness to you!

This makes me appreciate my father so very much. He is far from perfect, but he is so much better than the man this guy is describing.

Lord, can I relate to this. My father committed suicide when I was four, and my mother was a narcissist and clinically depressed. She never once said, "I love you" or "I am proud of you." She was cold, critical, and broken. I thought my dad was in heaven watching over me, and I strove for perfection, trying to be a perfect daughter, ever seeking my mother's love and trying to make my dad proud. When I was 13, she said, "You are nothing and a nobody and no one will ever love you." I will go to my grave hearing those words, never once hearing "I love you." For years, I set about reprogramming my brain. Those who didn't know me probably thought I was the most conceited person in the world, but I felt like the smallest person on the planet. It's amazing the effect that broken parents have on a child. More amazing still is the resilience and strength of character that it can build if that child as an adult can overcome and rise above it. The cycle must be broken.

Why do people have kids if they don't want to interact with them?

if his father did not that , he wouldnt be here today

At some point in grad school, I had a professor talk about how the way we label negative behaviors will dictate how we view ourselves forever. One of the examples they used was about a child who takes something that doesn't belong to them. Instead of them developing the understanding of "I am a person who has stolen," they are taught to believe "I am a thief." Society teaches the person to label themselves with a permanent stamp. That then lingers as a factual belief in their minds, so it will be used to excuse their future behaviors. "I'm so sorry I stole again, it's who I am." Rock's story here is a perfect illustration of what that state of mind can do, but it's also proof that beliefs can be un-taught with the right support. Everyone should have at least ONE PERSON - friend, family member, counselor, doctor - whom they can turn to for support and feel is on their side. If you dont know who that person is for you, start sharing your story with people and see who responds; it only takes one good support to make all the difference.

All I can say to anyone who ever asks me about my dad, well,.......when I think about it, He was the Best dad Ever...even when I don’t think about it...well, He was the Best dad I could ever hope for. DAD, I miss you sooo much. Thank you . The world didn’t see you as perfect but my heart knew who you really were. All I ever needed to know from you is that you LOVED me. See you soon!

I decide who comes into my life nowadays, I decide how much I disclose about my life now to anyone. I choose who gets to walk along side me in life now. And if one day I decide to let my family back into my life, they will know my boundaries and they will respect them and I will demand respect from them. Or they will just get cut off, and not just them, anyone who passes my boundaries on purpose is not family/friend nor someone who has your best Interest. Keep sticking up for yourself.

You're doing great, You don't need to change, I'm don't really know you..,, I don't know what you look like but you're perfect the way you are, I'm so sorry you had to do things alone, You deserve help. Sorry this wasn't much though.
