The Definition of a Deadbeat

   Teenagers need father, authority figures to be in their life because from my experience my dad did the opposite of being a father, my dad didn’t do nothing for me like when i needed pampers and he had money he just didn’t buy me anything i mean I didn’t ask to be here but as I was a baby he didn’t do anything for me. I always asked myself was it me or my mother?, I feel that I had no one but mom and I hated that my mom had to take care of me by myself I also, hated that all my siblings had father figures and I’m the only one without a father. My sisters dad came in the picture and start taking care of me it lasted and I was a little happy but it would have been better if my own dad was there because if he was here I wouldn’t be so much like my mom. Smart mouth, don’t think about what I say, speak my mind, outspoken and plus I act like a lil boy can’t nobody handle me, not even my mom I just feel like if my father was in my life putting pressure on me and being strict I’ll be more as a woman and wouldn’t give my mother no hard time. Another thing when me and my got into it she put me out I called my dad to go live with him he told me “NO!” and I  was just looking like he was bogus because if I’m your daughter why would you make me live on the streets because you want the house to you and girlfriend and I wasn’t staying there for good but gladly his girlfriend said i could stay she told him he was bogus as well. Now I’m grown and pregnant he try to talk to me now because I’m getting on my stuff but I’ll walk pass him like I don’t know him because still to this day my feelings hurt about the situation but it’s a lesson learned watch who you lay down with because my mother made a big mistake I just hope I didn’t either.
