Good for you. And maybe it'll be your real father that has the regrets, not you.

My grandpa went to visit him and told my dad that he would be back the next day to see him again. When my grandpa went back the next day my dad wasn't in that room anymore and the nurses wouldn't tell him where he was. I have no need or desire to speak to him.. My step-dad has went above and beyond what my real father ever could have and I am okay with that.

I had the same kind of situation, only my Dad wasn't at Walmart, he was holding a sign on the side of a freeway onramp downtown Reno. He wouldn't get in. That was the last time I saw him. I feel the same way though, step-dads can really step up, ya know.

I'd call your Dr, any Dr that you've seen that have taken blood tests can get you that info.

thats what my kids think of me somewhat.
two won't speak to me...the ball is their court.
i was there then some, and paid their mother child support, then some.
i'm still the dad that left their mother.
i feel i did more than my part.

my parents are divorced. thankfully, i'm able to understand that sometimes people don't last "forever" and that each of them can be happy without the other. as long as you're what a father/mother should be to your children, it shouldn't matter if you get along with your ex-spouse or not

Kids will be protective of their mother (or whichever parent they live with the longest)

My mom left my real father when I was 6 months old. She had me, a diaper bag and $60 in her pocket. She got a bus from Oklahoma to Missouri and moved in with her parents. My real father is a drug addict, a drunk, a woman beater, a cheater and a liar. I contacted him for the first time in my life when I was 18. He was drunk in the middle of the afternoon. He contacted me last Christmas. We talked for about two days.

I could really careless if I hear from him ever again. I didn't know he even existed until I was in fourth grade. He was just a passing thought once in awhile, a conversational piece now and again. My mom married when I was 3 years old. He's the only dad I've ever known. He pisses me off but I know he loves my mother and would never dream of hurting her and that is good enough for me.

I've done just fine without Gary Martin. I'll be just fine for the rest of my life without him.

I miss my dad. I wish he could have lived forever.
He was the best.

My father wasn't there and never paid a dime of child support. He is my father by blood.. but he will never be my dad again.

I couldn't ask for a better step-dad yeah he pisses me off now and then and I have bitched and complained about him but in the end I know he cares. He loves my baby just like Thomas was his blood grandchild.. and Thomas absolutely adores him. He would give me the coat off of his back if I needed it. I know that on Father's Day and his birthday this year.. I was the only one there out of his 4 children and step-children and that means more to him than anything. I appreciate everything he has ever done for me and he knows it and I know that when he is gone one day.. I will be the one who gets most of what he has worked for all his life because he knows exactly how I feel!

I give blood regular I have my card, blood type right on there "O NEGATIVE"

I hear ya Roxy. Feel your pain. My childrens mother is the reason I have the problems with them I do. She painted that picture, and it was her fault that the marriage failed.
I'll never stop loving them, if they choose to walk away, it their problem. It won't be because I didn't try to be the best father/dad I could.

usually a child will have the same blood type as the father, but sometimes a recessive gene will slip in from both parents and your blood type may be totally different. if you have a blood type that is in great demand, such as O-, believe me, the blood bank will worry the hell out of you...especially around the holidays. you can always ask an MD or maybe even the health dept to run a simple ABO type blood test to find out what type you are...
