A VERY HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

For me: I wish my dad was still here was at the age of 13.

MGTOW-minded or not, my dad is my biggest hero. Every day he teaches me how to be a better man. His story is one of rags to riches, overcoming life’s shit tests, responsibility no matter what, and is inspirational to the core. I’m forever grateful that the universe had me be raised under such a stellar exemplar of unyielding morals, realness, warmth, and unbelievable work ethic in a man.

We may occasionally have our disagreements (who doesn’t?), but my dad and I also have our countless agreements, our laughs, and our endless deep talks on life, current events, culture, finances, history, timeless lessons, and the important things a man should know and do for himself. My dad’s my best friend, and as far as he’s gotten in life, God willing, may I go even further—not as a contest, but as progress. I love my dad more than I can ever put into words—and that’s the truth.

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there who move mountains for their families and show their boys what being a man is all about. Fatherhood can be a hard, thankless job that society purposely overlooks, ridicules, and takes for granted despite all the love that goes into the labor. I’m not a father, but I know this to be true as do you.

Man to man, if your father is around and has had a hand in making you the person you see in the mirror today, let your old man know that you appreciate him. It’s the very least you can do and it’s only right. Today’s his day, a day of deference, a day of celebration. Happy Father’s Day.

MGTOW saved my relationship with my father, it made me realize the untold, hidden sacrifices he made that no one else notices or appreciates. Before MGTOW I just saw him as some bossy asshole who was always yelling at me about everything.

MGTOW has literally saved my life in numerous ways.

Oh please. I hate that fucker called father. Abusive lying manipulative fucker. Your mileage may vary.

The_Shorto · 2021-06-20T14:24:04+00:00

I see my father getting older and it fucking hurts. No longer is he the strong indomitable mans man. He is almost 70. He had a minor stroke and heart attack in his early 60s that utterly changed him phyisically. He still loves helping everyone around him but I know it hurts his pride to not be able to lift the things of his youth.

It’s not something I look forward to.

jeetz09 · 2021-06-20T10:15:33+00:00

Yep. Age 28 and I can relate. I’d hate to go through the last stage.

bigjames2002 · 2021-06-20T12:25:42+00:00

Oof, this hits hard this year for me... Lost my father back in April. I felt like a piece of me died that day, too.

Cattypatter · 2021-06-20T15:16:18+00:00

My dad is a huge simp for my mother and wet blanket dealing with my sisters, was always working long hours far away from home during the week to earn money for my mother who never worked despite having university qualifications who would talk crap about him behind his back. But I love him anyway.

He provided, disciplined me so I'm not some spoilt whiney kid and gave me gifts for birthdays and Christmas. No he didn't do hobbies with me or approve of computers or videogames but I don't blame him for that, parents don't have to be your friend to be good parents. He didn't get divorced which kept our family together which I am thankful for since as a kid I saw so many friend's families get destroyed and the kids being kicked around like a political football between 2 petulant adults.

He is 70+ now and is getting very overweight so he won't have too many more years left in him. Too stubborn to do exercise or diet, man likes his beer and fatty foods what can I say, atleast he is enjoying the last of his life. Thanks for putting up with my shit dad.

Jesus fuck, that is TOO true

ThereIsAlwaysVanilla · 2021-06-20T15:27:52+00:00

My dad used to say, "You might not like me now, but you'll thank me later." And he hit the nail on the head with that.

ProfessionalLoner77 · 2021-06-20T22:34:49+00:00

I skipped over the "I hate him" phase. He was just too good of a guy for that.

Wildhouse83 · 2021-06-20T11:35:26+00:00

Somewhere in between: I wish my mom would never divorce him.

lIllIllIIllI · 2021-06-20T13:25:52+00:00

Don't you guys also celebrate it in May?

seathsoul69 · 2021-06-20T14:00:16+00:00

For me dad wasn’t right but i do want him to remain healthy for my lil bro

Evilopoly90 · 2021-06-20T14:42:09+00:00

I'm on "I wish my dad was here" at 25. He was my hero but brain cancer got him two years ago. My mother did not treat him well at all.

TigerSkull79 · 2021-06-20T15:04:06+00:00

My old man is 72 in a few months and is an absolute legend! At 41 he still does what he can for me, if I didn't let him he'd be offended. He's a saint for putting up with my mum for almost 50yrs. The downside is I got his totally relaxed and laid back personality, which has helped me get walked all over by some, luckily I saw the light on that one, just took a long time and 10 yrs with a shitty wife 🤣🤣

yato94 · 2021-06-20T15:06:38+00:00

My dad wasn’t there half of the time and wonders why I don’t talk to him or want my own family. I respect other good fathers but fuck that guy called my “dad”.

Honestly happy I found good role models and this sub.

TL.DR: Dad was BB. Matriarchy at home. Almost suicide 2x. Love him for provisioning but still can’t bond. Will die feeling bittersweet 4eva.

Can’t relate.

Father was dead beat in the character building and moral justice upbringing department. He did do his job in the provisioning part but that’s about it. Easily replicable if my mom divorced a more well-to-do but still-beta father. So technically he wasn’t there.

Had to endure physical punishment from both mom and pop even when I went thru 6 years of being bullied back in elementary school. Needless to say that man dished out the greater 70% of the caning force. Absolutely wrecked my self-esteem and the ability to recognise and distinguish abusive behaviors.

Ended up in a gaslighted relationship just 3.5 years ago and almost offed myself twice, until I found TRP on May 6, ‘19. I’ve since it made that day as my annual solo celebration, away from anyone, not even a single soul, for taking back my life in my own hands.

I did acknowledged this day today by making dinner for the house though. As well as every other year. But that’s about it.

Mom said at least he stuck around and provided for the family. I said SUREEEE... but that’s not what a ‘father figure’ is for. Just like if a car doesn’t break down constantly, doesn’t mean it earn praises. It’s basicality. Same goes for my dad too.

Ever since I took the red pill, I’ve tried to reconcile with him and look at his hardship as a man, but his constant, unrelenting stubbornness and solipsistic behaviour had not only driven me up the wall, but there was this one day when he just willfully ignored the possibility that refusing to be vaccinated ON TOP OF refusing to take immune-boosting supplements means a HIGH POSSIBILITY of deliberately weighing his children down fiscally, unnecessarily, is a selfish and “Unfather-like behaviour” has absolutely crushed any remaining hope I have bridging out for him. Not even from an RP-aware perspective.

I love my dad for not giving up to provide for me as a parent, but the damage done from his utter absence from my masculinity upbringing equalized all benefit of the former. I guess I will live with this bittersweet feeling for the rest of my life.

My dad was ok. Spend(s) most of his life in front of the TV(or at least the 50 years I’ve been around). Pretty much brainwashed with whatever opinion by talking head on the screen. But he did work, put food on the table and made sure we all got an education. His dad was a complete ass so he did turn out a little better.

When I decide to get married (she did have some red flags), he called me stupid. Of course that made me want to marry her more lol. I think if he would have possibly given me some wisdom like here MGTOW, I might have reconsidered.

It definitely made me a better dad and made me realize what not to do raising my kids. I guess your mileage may vary.

Me age 1- i wish i had a dad

fookfassa · 2021-06-21T01:02:25+00:00

I'm so fortunate and blessed to still have my Father. My deepest condolences for the brothers here who have lost theirs.

Thirtysomething2019 · 2021-06-25T15:41:19+00:00

I'm in the age 16 bracket
