christina76 (861.6 days ago) It kind of all depends on why you haven`t spoke to your father in 15 years. If its something small, that really shouldn`t have kept y`all apart 15 years, then I say reach out, talk to him, but don`t have any real expectations about what may or may not happen, because if you do, you`ll probably be let down. Once you have done your part in reaching out, then you can say `you tried`, the ball is then in his court, and hopefully things will go good for y`all. If the reason y`all haven`t talked in 15 years,is something really serious, then you really need to stop and think if its worth it, that is ONLY up to you, and you alone. EditDelete
brendalee (862.1 days ago) Ive never once spoken to my father, I`ve wanted do...but I really don`t think he deserves to be apart of mine, or my daughter`s life. It all depends on your relationship with him, if it was rocky...then I`d say no, because you have a good life and a shitty person doesn`t deserve to be apart of it. If it was a good relationship while you did talk to him, then I`d say go for it. EditDelete

Str8 As (862.1 days ago) I say go for it! No matter how it turns out, you did what you needed to do. Make an effort to reach out to him. I know for me, my father and I did not have a relationship growing up and in 2001, I reached out to him and things are steadily improving. It is going to take time, but again, you did your part! Also, congrats on your accomplishments! Best wishes on your journey! :-) EditDelete
luvbeingamom (862.1 days ago) Only if you think this meeting will improve your life. Either through having him be an active part of your life, the encounter will give you closer, or you need to make contact to improve your mental health. Otherwise, it sounds like you have all you can ask for. Congrats on everything, it is far to rare that people can accomplish all of their life goals at such a young age :-) EditDelete
