My dad wasn't around when I was younger and now that I'm in DCFS custody he wants to be in my life. I'm still trying to not hold a grudge and be glad he wants to be part of my life now.

In some ways people were there to help me up when I fell down, while others just stood by and watch and even helped push me down. Sometimes people weren't ever there because they probly didn't know how to deal with what was going on and all they could do was stand by and watch it. Maybe now he realizes that the state can help you guys come together and he can learn from them and maybe now he knows how to handle it better, I know how hard it is to not hold a grudge, and not want to understand what they were going through but it's so much better for you, you could be so much happier, don't forgive him for his sake do it for your own.
I can't say I know exactly how you feel, but I can sort of relate. My dad has been in prison my whole life. He started writing me in sixth grade, and then dropped me in seventh. I was literally heart broken. He may not be there for me, but I want to be there for him. He is my life whether I'm his life or not. I am all he has left and I can't leave him with no one. I love him, even though I don't know him. I hope you can learn to forgive your father. It does take time but it will feel good if you do.
I kinda know how this feels except my dad never tried making an effort on being in my life. I never met the guy. All I've even gotten form him is a couple Facebook messages other then those messages I know nothing of him. I'm not sure if I even want to know anything of him. It's suck but we don't need anybody who doesn't need us.
I can relate to this because my dad was not there for me my whole life. Until recently he wants to be in my life because my mom passed away.He visit me in DT and told me he wants to be part of my life.It is kind of hard to let him in my life. I don't see him as my father at all, but I'm also glad he wants to be part of my life now.I'm going to give it a try.I believe we are all humans; we make mistakes.He just made a mistake and now he wants to fix it by building a relationship with me.
I do want a relationship with him but it's going to be really hard especially now that he has a new wife. Now I have to try to make a relationship with him and his new wife both or else it won't be able to work out. It's hard to spend time with him when he thinks he knows everything about me and my past when he really doesn't.
