: : : at least you had some sort of healthy relationship with your father. i haven't seen my dad in over three years now.
: : Shut the fuck up - that is so not something to say to someone who is suffering from a loss.
: : I'm sorry you haven't seen your dad, but that was fucking tactless.

: it wasn't meant the way you took it. i respect that he's grieving and i'm just simply saying that i'd rather be in his shoes. i'd rather be grieving the death of a man i respected than to forget a man i have no respect for. i guess i was just trying to put a little positivity into it, that's all.
I still don't agree that you had to say it that way..
I know from experience, that when someone is mourning the loss of their father, they don't want to be told 'At least you knew your dad.' It's just bullshit man. :P
