My parents live 5 minutes away so we see them pretty regularly. I don't necessarily talk to my Dad everyday but he's not a big phone person. My Mom I talk to every day.

I probably talked to my Dad four or five times a week up until the day he died (seven years ago). Man it hurt for a few years not to talk to him, then life sort of takes over and the hurt goes away a little. It comes back every Fathers Day, but now I focus on my kids on that day. Still wish like heck he was here - can't imagine how proud he would be of his two grand kids and what they have both grown up to be.

I'm 27. Usually talk to my dad on the phone 1-2 times a week, and text him more often than that.

He's a great dude. My role model and hero. Very blessed to have him in my life. Love him to death.

Here and there. I'm always reaching out. He's called once (this past christmas) of his own doing. I went about 8 months without talking to him. Got really tired of being the only one trying so I wrote his new wife a fb letter saying I wasn't calling anymore. Somehow she turned that around on me as I was the problem. So I said frick all of you then.

He called a week later all apologetic. I took it with a grain of salt. He left the south with his new wife to start a new life. When he left told everyone but me on his side of the family to never contact him again. Same man walked out of the funeral home while we were making arrangements to bury his only biological child after starting a fight over expenses. Then left before the funeral back to the Pacific NW. Is what it is.

Oh and for father's day he went to a logging museum and ate beans and cornbread for supper. Why he left the south I have no idea.

Either by a phone call or text, at least every other day. He's by far the person I talk to most.

95% of the time it's about sports.

Rarely. The man is still alive and left when we were 13 or so. As a father now i realized that he really wasnt a part of our(my siblings)lives. I dont hate the man but realized how he really was never their. I havent spoke to him in over a year and that was like a half hour. He doesnt reach out to us so i'm good with that. It has made me a better father to my kids. The same with my siblings.

I talk to my dad about once a week. However, I was raised from age 15 on by my aunt (mom's sister) and uncle, so my uncle stepped into that role. I talk to him about 2 to 3 times a week. I talk to my uncle more than I talk to my aunt

I haven't spoken to my father in a decade. He's a piece of shite.

It used to be once a week. Maybe. But now he is older and I took a job away from home so I call both my parents every day. I am a big family person even though we are terrible at showing it.
