'Lots of stuff I'm unable to do cos I lack a father figure'. This confused me. Like what?
My dad drank and smoked pot a fair bit when I was a kid. There were boat races on in another state around my birthday, every year, and he always went. He never came to any of my school graduations (because he didn't want to), any family event, never took me to the park or taught me to drive or did anything. He was just the grumpy man who lived with us, essentially. I see people who are really close to their Dad, and I'm jealous, but also just cannot fathom having that kind of relationship with my father. He's almost like a stranger.
It might not be normal for every family for their Dad to have two wives and two sets of kids, but it seems to be normal for your family. Talk to your Mum about it, and maybe even try talking to your Dad. Ask him why he thinks this is ok, tell him how it effects you. They are the only people who can help you change either the situation or how you feel about it.
Is it normal to not want to talk with your natural father?
