The Greatest Man I Have Known

[stopmockingmanParticipant 441]

He was my Dear Father. He died this year at 81.
I did not like him when I was 17. He drank too much, was always at work, did not have time for us.
My mom pushed all his buttons, and I was the residential bouncer tough.
I divorced at 26, my first born going 450 miles away with wifey.
Well, my dad had kept his family together. A better man than me.
Married was I from 29 to 49, then divorce again. 3 children more, my DAD became my best friend.
He told me I was the story of Job- I read it after he passed away. It gives me no relief.
I wake up at night, and miss his strong silent face- he said little most times, and this says a lot to me.
Now I go to his house, he is not there for me.
As a child, I aligned with my mother, as a man, I was a friend with my father.
And we became the BEST of buddies.
I MISS you Dad, and will join you soon enough. I’m 57.

This prayer goes out to all the men on this site, that miss their dad and their children also.
God Bless You, and best regards, MGTOW.

I came to understand my father much better after his death than I ever did when he was alive.

EVERYTHING he did not say…. I get it now.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Well, I was a pussy, became a man after many burns on my ass, so to speak. Just to say, the strength of a man is formidable, the neediness of a woman taxing.
Hindsight is great, and now I see clear as day.
Cheers friend, enough said today.

Awesome post, miss my dad so much, I still feel he comes to be with me when I’m at my lowest.

When we are young we can’t figure out why Dad does the things he does. Only when we get older do we realize stuff like that Dad got exhausted after working all day and wasn’t always in a great mood, or that he was too tired to go play with us in the yard. As a kid we don’t think about stuff like that and only later do we compare what we do and how we feel to what our dad must have felt. Makes a lot more sense then…..

I want so much to help men on this site and feel so sheepish to do it, and I will tell you, I cry when I come here, and try to inject some humanity that is missing in women today.

I know what you mean, this home of ours here has that impact on me as well
I used to think I was being tough, not shedding a tear…I got tired of denying things that truly touch the depth of my soul and spirit.
I was also intimidated by the great giants here I get to walk among, and was even stupid enough to make a thread about not posting again because I thought I had misrepresented, and foolishly thought I had to be sheepish and earn the right to speak here.

Thank you bro! Right back at ya man!
Welcome home!

I built 2 homes, and women broke them apart, they have no scruples no dignity, and definitely no honor, they are perverse creatures cast out of Eden itself, and there is nothing I can say to better what has been said, we belong here because women have left us destitute, without castle, without dignity and without recourse in law. They show no respect for the man. They can f~~~ off away.
This is home for the refugees of (man)kind. We are the new man, the MGTOW man, the MGHOW man. My dad was that too. Men are Honorable Creatures and Godlike Ones. May Woman bow down to Glorious Mankind! Amen.

Brother, I feel your pain.

My father died when I was 18 and the very day he died was the day I knew how much I would miss him and need him down the road in my life.

He died in 2002, and I still miss him. I will miss him all my life. I know, however, that he became my guardian angel. I don’t know if some brothers believe in guardian angels. I do. My father became my angel, and he still hangs around… unlike your mother, though, I have nothing but praise towards my own mother. She is an amazing woman that has proven herself so many times. When I was young she put up with a lot of tough situations to keep our family together. My own wife divorced me and didn’t even face 5% of what my mother did with us and my father.

I am actually happy that she divorced me. I’d rather be alone than being with someone so weak and unwilling to fight for both of us.

I feel your pain. Hang in there man. You will join your old man in heaven some day.

It will be the sweetest moment of your entire existence.

I love you brother, there is nothing else to say, thanks so much for your reply. Anytime, I will hear you.

Brother… I know your pain, my father was a victim of a bank assault because he was the last client in the line and was used as a human shield.

That tough motherf~~~er is still here with me, and I KNOW that I have to enjoy every single moment with him, not only because you brothers had told how you missed your dads’ (and that is something I know I will also feel when I lose mine too), but because he is a great man. One of the giants who walked among us. Like the father of every single brother here. Giants, all of them. I cant tell this because of you, your thoughts and words, brothers, you have been raised by giants. Men of guts. Men who had looked in the eyes of Devil and NEVER backed down, stood their ground like the f~~~ing amazing giants that they are. Let their memories be a REMINDER to all of us, of how a man must be.

I have lost my son. I know the pain too. And yet, I feel like if I was not even HALF the man my father is, despite he saying that I am sometimes better than him. No, I am not, father. Sometimes, I am still a kid, who looks at you seeking guidance, and sometimes shelter from the s~~~storm that hits me in the face everyday. One day I hope to become as great as you.

Your absences, father, was never a problem. My only problem was that I missed you, your strong hand and your strong morals, you vigorous guidance and your great compassion.

I raise my glass today for the fathers, and my deepest thanks to all of them. To all men. To all giants and to all brothers here.

Seems to me, “The Greatest Man I Have Known”, there seems to be enough here DarkKenshi, great men that I have not completely known.
We are all children, wanting guidance it seems. You are not different than the rest. My dad looked up to his father, my grandfather. On and on it goes. .

Spot on, brother. Spot on.

Thank you!
