My dad played almost no part in raising me?

My parents have been married for 15 years and got married when I was 5 years old, I remember them being a seriously in love couple and perfect for each other. But after they got married, everything changed. They argued a lot and couldn't agree on a single thing, even on where to live; and when my sister was born, she remained nameless for a week because they argued whenever they tried to choose a name for her.
My Dad had to move away to Scotland for work because he couldn't find a job, and when he finally moved back he just couldn't form any attachment to me or my sister, and whenever he spoke to me it was always a scolding of some sort. He left my mum to do all the cooking and cleaning and wouldn't find another job. He always found an excuse not to spend time with us or come to our school plays and whenever we did any childish things like make up games or have friends round, he would say we weren't disciplined enough and then proceed to spend the next few hours in the garage building motorbikes.
When I moved out to go to uni, he didn't cry or say he was going to miss me, he just said "One less mouth to feed." and went inside the house. Is it normal he's this detached from me?

  • It's common but not at all normal.

    Parents fail all the time but it's important not to gaze too often into their failures unless you become downcast.

      Please tell me you're just trolling. If not, you are one sick bastard that should've kept his flipping penis in his pants or got your stupid ass sterilized before you got the chance to knock someone up. Child Neglect and Abuse isn't cool and i hate the monsters who do that horrible crap.
