Hello everyone! I just realised how wholesome this comment section has been and finding out there are many people who also felt the same about the relationship with their dads has warmed my heart. It's never easy to maintain a healthy bond with our parents throughout the years, specially when you feel they have failed you in any way. But I also think there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, a final chance to redeem ourselves and that is only possible through communication. I hope you all had a nice and cozy holidays!
this is making me cry fr. my dad has been in my life physically, but he’s always been emotionally distant. expressing emotions around him is hard. i learned recently that he had a pretty fucked up childhood; an abusive alcoholic father and a manipulative narcissistic mother. yet he’s been the best father to me he could be. he was never taught how to show emotion and told his feelings didn’t matter. im sorry your childhood sucked, dad, but im so glad you’ve been here for mine. i love you, dad.
Man this fucked me up. I'm 15 and I saw my dad for the first time in a while this weekend. Had to buy him food because he didn't have the cash. I love you dad, I wish things didn't have to be so complicated
Hope it all gets better man.Im 16 and my dad passed away last year.When my parents were together we were kinda in a good financial position but fron the divorce ny dad just kinda I think lost hooe.His last few years was tough.I knew how it was when your dad doesn’t have money and all.To be honest I did nit really care abt money but more about seeing him.Can't say theres a day I don't miss him.Good luck
You don't..'Without another chance to tell him off right to his face '... when you do get the change to tell him in his face, he will not want to hear it and pretend he had no fault. 'I know you never meant to put him down And even if you did, he sure deserved it Well sure it would be sad but not really different'
@@robroux6074 It's almost been two years since I wrote this comment and I keep coming back to this coming back to this song. My dad isn't getting younger (no shit) and I'm growing more and more bitter off the thing that happened. The relationship I have with my dad is a complicated one. He has always been there for me in my tough times, yet at the same never have I ever met a such a troubled person who is so un-self aware and waits for a moment to throw his anger. Now, he is trying to change his personality in his early 70s or what he calls change. Rob, you summed up these two years perfectly and I'm dreading the day he's actually gonna leave, on one hand I want to settle my grudges with a man who isn't even aware that I had grudges, and on the other hand I want to be there for him. P.S sorry if I came across as venting and/or verbouse.
@@vetonrecica5558 haven't spoken to my dad in 5 years. I feel the same. I think we should reach out though. Life's too short for this type of thing to live inside us. It's like a cancer. I hated him for a long time. But I hate having the animosity more. I'm learning to forgive myself and forgive him. It's a powerful thing man.
My dad is now 70. He has done bad things, but deep down,, he is a good man. He has always supported my family, even though he has made poor decisions. He always makes sure to tell my siblings and i that he loves us and that he cares. He has told me he regrets a lot of his decisions. And while i've kinda lost sympathy and just affection towards my father, this song really put things in perspective... and i'd hate to miss out on what's left of his time around here. He has changed a lot, but my traumas make it so hard to talk to him. But i think,, after listening to this,, i'll try to talk to him. I wouldnt want him to go before telling him that despite everything i still love him.
My pops passed away two weeks ago he was in and out of my life I’m really glad we got to talk before he left this realm. Missing you forever 11/6/74 - 2/28/21
it hurts because no matter how much of a terrible person he was, one life, one father, and theres nothing we can do about it, its exactly this that makes him even worse and precious at the same time
i usually don’t comment on videos but this song means a lot to me, lost my dad a couple months ago and ive never heard a song that perfectly encapsulates how I feel, I miss you dad
this song is so therapeutic to me. I have an absent dad I see him once a year. he treats me badly and says hurtful things to me. I feel like we’re strangers. he never calls, barely texts back, doesn’t make time to see me. it’s really sad he was such a good dad but now things have changed. I miss how he used to be we were so close. now that i’m older I’ve confronted him so many times about how I feel even though it was hard and he would always give me a bad reaction. This song hits too close to home.
My dad has been.. so abusive towards me and my siblings. He hurt us, physical and emotionally. He'll always say "That never happened" "You're making stuff up to paint me as the bad guy" "I don't remember it that way". When I finally got the courage to get away, he tries to play victim and convince me to "come back home". Right now, I'm watching him slowly fade from my life. It hurts not having a good father figure to look up to. A part of me wants to run back so bad because when he says "I can be better", I want to believe him
my dad always makes up excuses. I feel guilty everytime I think about how I still love him, no matter how many times he's hurt me. I hope the best for you. :)
Fuck him, punish him and put him in his place. Raise your kids right and give them great memories and treasure them instead. Feeling sad for your abuser is a very meta but real thing.
Listening to this song makes me think of my dog that just recently passed away in June, a song that has cemented itself as my favourite song of all time and one that I will never skip. Rest in peace sweet Daisy girl.
He was for me but I still feel alone. He didn’t have the girl talk with me or nothing like I had to grow up alone I feel lonely I feel left alone like I’m a deserted island and it’s just me and I gotta find a away out
I relate to this song deeply even though my circumstances are different than Mac's, it speaks to my situation just as well in my eyes, because I truly did watch my father fade away. He was a great father and always did his best to treat me right and raise me so. He made mistakes in his life but everyone does, however after his battle with cancer started he made more of those mistakes. And it's clear why there was a sudden change as he had one of the most evil forms of cancer, a brain tumor. You can't treat brain cancer like you can most others, as a simple surgery doesn't quite have the same end result as removing a tumor from say the liver. Yes both have adverse effects/possible reactions, but where as the liver you could expect to remove it and have mostly predictable recovery processes, the brain is different for obvious reasons. You cant take out a part of someone's brain without effecting who they are in some way. And the meds you get put on are just as bad as they directly effect your brain entirely in order to work properly. After his first surgery he wasn't too different as far as I can remember being so young at the time (8) and he became more religious and down to earth, probably for many reasons. However after the tumor came back a year later and he had a second surgery, that's when the most apparent changes happened. He was a short-tempered person prior to cancer but after his second surgery and being put on different, stronger meds; he was noticeably more angry in general. Things ticked him off easier than they ever have and the only time my father laid a hand on me in a negative way was after this second surgery. He slapped me pretty hard (I was 9yo at this time) and I remember very distinctly him leaving my room after that and going into my parent's room where he started to cry. I overheard him sobbing and walked in to find him completely broken down on his bedside. He apologized so many times and I forgave him entirely, because we both knew that wasn't the kind of person he was. However I don't think he ever quite forgave himself, as after that and other incidents such as being physical with my mom as well, he made the decision to refuse any further surgery if the tumor came back (which of course it did). So after that it was occasional chemo and staying on meds until the cancer was growing too rapidly for him to make it to chemo anymore and he became bedridden in our home as he started to truly fade away. He was still alive, but he wasn't himself anymore, and he started to become unrecognizable. He couldn't even walk to the bathroom on his own eventually and we had to hire a caretaker to stay at our house for him while my mom worked. His muscles started to waste from lack of use and he couldn't stomach normal foods anymore, let alone feed himself. So my mom made the decision to have him taken to a Hospice, which is a nice word for where sick people go to pass away peacefully. Most people don't come out of Hospice care as it's mainly to aid in the family's well-being. I didn't know this at the time and of course us kids weren't told that. We visited him very regularly and I continued to watch him fade away there. After a while he could no longer talk, see properly or even recognize us. I don't know how I managed seeing him like that every time, a bed ridden shadow of the father I once knew, no longer able to recognize or speak to his own family. It's terrible thinking back on it and I can't imagine what my mother was going through at the time, and I look up to her for being so strong during that period. I'm eternally grateful for all she did to make our situation feel as normal as possible to us kids. But eventually after 2 years and some change of battling the cancer, he lost his fight on June 9th of 2010. I was 10, my sisters were 8 and my half brother 15. The anniversary of his passing was 4 days ago and father's day is coming up so he on my mind a lot this month every year. This song makes me not only think of those 2+ years where I watched him fade, but also the things I missed out on growing up during the most seminal years of ones life. All the things I wish I could tell him, ask him, or just vent about. All the conversations I missed, all the shared memories of his past that I can only now ever learn of through photographs. All of the activities I missed out on with him, all the things he would've taught me that I've instead had to learn on my own. June of next year I will have lived half my life without him, and that's unreal to think about. After next year I will have spent more of my life without a father than with one, and that's never going to change again. My person and memories will continue to grow past the years I had with him. It's been rough and it still is, but I encourage anyone who reads this, estranged father or not, to call them. Talk to them. Be honest with them, don't beat around the bush have a heart to heart conversation with one half of the reason you're on this planet, as one day you will no longer have the chance to. And none of us know when that day will be. I love you dad, forever. And I promise I won't forget you no matter how many years go by. Peace love everyone, be safe please.
Haven't got the guts to call him up Walk around as if you never cared in the first place But if you never call you'll end up stuck Without another chance to tell him off right to his face [Chorus] And even though we barely know each other It still hurts watching him fade away, watching him fade away Watching him fade away, watching him fade away [Verse 2] I know you never meant to put him down And even if you did, he sure deserved it The thought of him no longer being around Well sure it would be sad but not really different [Chorus] And even though we barely know each other It still hurts watching him fade away, watching him fade away Watching him fade away, watching him fade away
I was walking home from the bus stop this came on and it was just kinda white noise then when I started listening to the lyrics it immediately made me think of my dad slowly getting older and I cried on my way home just typing this makes me tear up I hate my dad but I love him so much
My dad is still in my life somewhat, he's an alcoholic and we never truly understood each other relationship wise. I came to the realisation lately that the only relationship we'll have will be a surface level one. Always has, always will be. As the alcoholism gets worse I fear that one day he'll just go and that'll be it. So at the moment all I can do watch as he slowly fades away. I do have hope that one day things will get better for him and he can find happiness. Unfortunately, it is what it is and you just gotta roll with the punches.
Crying atm . My dad was an alcoholic and he died a month before i turned 5. I remember being scared of him cuz of the stuff he'd say and do while he was drunk and now at 16 it hurts cuz i really wanted him to be alive and a good person not just someone who's reminded for his bad decisions
same with me, my dad was also an alcoholic and died 1 month before my 15th birthday, although he had his flaws i wouldn’t wish for anything else besides him still being here. its such a horrible pain no should ever feel.
Every time I listen to this song, I can only think of the lyrics in a different context. I relate them to the brother I used to have. We were close, but drifted apart as we got older. Then next thing I knew he tried to take his life. He failed, got some help from family and decided to go back to college. But, he tried again a few months after, through other means. He took his own life in my neighborhood, less than half a mile away from our house. All I did was ‘watch him fade away’. I wish I would have spent more time with him as he got older.
My grandpa recently passed away. I miss him so much. He was so kind and sweet. I miss him. He always brought me cake when it was my birthday. He brought tulips when it was 8th of march. He drove me to school since I was in first grade. I miss him so much. I love you grandpa. Rest In Peace 🕊️💗
Man this song made me cry because even i love him and he loves me we dont really know good each other, i wish he took me to watch football or fish or do some activity together like when i was a kid,im 20 and hes 65 and to think someday he will gone one days ,breaks me
Even though this song is about not having your father around or being at a loss without a dad i can't relate to that but I do have a brother that perfectly matches the lyrics and it stings whenever I listen to this song but in a way its comforting
It’s so weird when a song describes something you’ve experienced perfectly. My dad was an alcoholic and extremely abusive towards my mom. I never had a connection with him whatsoever, i don’t remember a single happy memory with him. He lost a partial part of his memory due to his alcohol addiction a few years ago, and now he barely knows who i am whenever me and my mom visit. Even though we’ve always felt like strangers, it hurts to hear him think i’m someone else completely. I can’t help but feel bad for him. He grew up with a father that endured the same fate. I wish there was a way to change everything.
My grandfather was recently hospitalized and i was scared cause i wanted to ask him about his past but hes ok for now and this song really portrays my dad and his relationship.
My dad has recently passed away to an overdose a few months ago. We used to be very close. I’m only 19 and our relationship had been deteriorating since I was 15. He was addicted to drugs and had been addicted since I was 11. Because of his addiction me and my siblings went through hell. From starving in a cold house with no electricity and no water to being homeless and sleeping in a car every night. He had also become very abusive. He’s been through over 20 overdoses which resulted in him having very serious health problems. I hadn’t seen him since I was 17 and when I heard he passed it hit me like a train. Because I knew who he was before the drugs. He was a good man. I could’ve visited him, talked to him, I maybe could’ve even saved him. But I didn’t. Because I was afraid. I didn’t want to see him in the state he was nor did I have the guts to confront him for what he put us through. But now he’s gone and I’m left with deep regret and grief. This has severely worsened my depression. Life feels so off now and I feel that it always will. I relate to this song because I also watched my father fade away. The man that gave birth to me. Loved me. And taught me things no one else could. Slowly lose himself. I didn’t have a very good relationship with him in the end, but despite that I still heavily mourn his death.
I don’t know how to feel about him anymore. I lost him when I was 12 and I’m still so confused. I hated him so much, but when he was gone I felt guilt for feeling relieved while my entire family was grieving.
My dad committed suicide five years ago. We had been really close when I was younger, but as his drinking got worse and my mom became more abusive, I began to spend less and less time at home/around them and we began to drift apart. The last time we spoke was over the phone and it was an argument. I had been meaning to call him again that weekend, but was too upset. He killed himself two days after. When my brother and I were going through his stuff, I found all sorts of things I never knew about. A newspaper clipping about him from when he was a kid. A photo of him as a teenager, with his friends trying to look tough and him in the middle, pulling a silly face. Pins from Soviet Russia. All of these were completely out of context to me. And the older I get, the more I realized I never truly knew who he was. There’s so much I never got to ask him or never even thought to ask. There’s so much I’ll never be able to tell him. I wish I could introduce him to my husband. He’s a lot like Mac and I think the two would get along. If you have a good relationship with your parent(s), please give them a hug for me and tell them how much you love them.
i’m 16, my dad and i aren’t close at all really, we have the same interests and same personality, in a nutshell i’m him in almost every way. yet i don’t feel anything towards my father. it feels like i’m living with a stranger almost. i relate to this song so much because i know i’ll be sad when he passes but it won’t feel very different from how we live now. it’ll just feel like there’s an empty space where someone used to be.
@@Angelzfoodcake thank you! since this comment ive bonded with him pretty well, i can finally understand when he's being funny, i can have a proper conversation with him, and i feel comfortable around him in almost the same way i am with my mum. it gets easier. that relationship wont be strained and distant forever. if you want it to, ofc. we didn't know how to talk to each other, but there's always time to change that
man no matter how much i listen to this i can’t get enough of it, so relatable and a very good music video, everyone reading or listening this much love and good health y’all ❤️
it’s been a year since my father died, i use to listen to this song constantly after his death, i don’t know why i felt the need to comment but i just want to, we never had a good relationship, we’d argue all the time but he did so much for me, so much that my young ungrateful self didn’t see, i wish he was here, i wish this was a nightmare, i miss my father, i miss how happy he made my mum, i miss his cookings, his scoldings, his stories. he died at 41, he was still young, we had so many dreams, he’ll never get to see me get married or graduate, he’s gone forever. appreciate and love your loved ones, don’t be afraid to say i love you to the ones you care about, live everyday with love and contentment
I haven’t lived with or seen my dad in 2 months and this song made me cry thinking of the memories of us throwing the football in the backyard and watching games with him he was always in my life and loved me but never supported me and did a lot of stuff behind my back and I ran away
My parents got divorced when i was 3. My mom moved us across the U.S, away from all family, including him. I never saw him except once he visited, and my parents did nothing but argue. It took about 5 years to learn both of my grandparents on his side died. No father figure for 10 years. Not even a grandpa or uncle. Thankfully now I have a step-dad, but its hard. Hes a purple heart vetren, he got shot in iraq and has severe back pain, PTSD, and emotional problems (god bless him). But its not the same (whatever fatherly love is), it was too little too late, and theres still ice between me and my stepdad after years. I am thankfull for everything I have, I just wanted to share with yall, god bless.
I randomly found this song and search it here on RU-vid. I'm at the moment of my life where I'm starting to accept that I fell in love with someone and I am contented with him being happy from a distance. I heard of this song before and meant nothing for me that's why I don't remember listening to this before. And in times like this, music becomes personal, this song found me and I finally clicked it this time because it touched something deep in my soul, and I'm slowly fading to this good feeling.
It’s so fucking hard to think about the good memories of when I was little and know there’s nothing I can do to repair the bond between me and my dad. We simply have different lives
Haven't got the guts to call him up Walk around as if you never cared in the first place But if you never call you'll end up stuck Without another chance to tell him off right to his face And even though we barely know each other It still hurts watching him fade away, watching him fade away Watching him fade away, watching him fade away I know you never meant to put him down And even if you did, he sure deserved it The thought of him no longer being around Well sure it would be sad but not really different And even though we barely know each other It still hurts watching him fade away, watching him fade away Watching him fade away, watching him fade away
In a span of a few months, my dad lost both his parents.After we came back from my grandfather’s funeral (m’y father’s father), my dad just drove in silence. Until he just said: « We never celebrated my birthday. I was always on my own. » I swear that day my heart cracked
Since everyone is sharing their stories I lost my dad at 3 in an accident. We were very close even for my age and I would do anything to see him again.
I get this is about a dad and son. But to me this song is about watching my boyfriend fade away. He passed away and seeing him in his mental state was horrid. He was fading away, and when he passed and I found out later on I was heartbroken. Been so for a year. He was the beauty of my heart, and when he passed. He took it with him. I love and miss him everyday.
My dad and I had a good relationship but he died of lung cancer 5 years ago. I listened to this for the feels and ended up crying in my coffee. Damnit Mac!
My dad's not gone yet and he still has many years ahead of him, but it wasn't until a couple of years ago that it really hit me, he's aging, he's getting older, and so is mom. I wish I was even closer with him, I wish it was easier to be emotionally open with him. I love you dad.
this brings a different kind of pain to me personally because my father left when i was really young and my friends just keep saying how they wish they never had a dad but they don’t know what it’s like not having a dad
my grandfather was such a hope, he was the best grandfather in the world, always checking me up and always caring, one day he rushed in hospital due to many complication because he was a smoker, after 1 week he released in hospital, he was completely change, he's really skinny and weak, he can't stand-up and really weak, one day he called me from downstair, i usually don't go but the urge and feeling was completely different that time so i go to him and i shocked because my grandmother is crying, my grandfather said to me is "it's already 12 noon go eat" i ask my grandmother why she's crying, she said "your grandfather is tired, he don't wanna take medicine anymore" i was sobing that time and i wanna burst out, then after that day my grandfather can't speak and so weak. then he died after that day. Rip to my grandfather. I miss him so much more than anything else, and I'm sure that he and I will meet again.
My relationship with my dad was rough, I'm not meaning to say he didn't cared for me & my sister, but he didn't knew the damage he constantly made us go through by making it seem like we were the main source of the things that were wrong with how all the bad unfolded in his life. He died not so long ago and in the last couple of years prior to his death we met once a week for about an hour or so only, this was in my early teenage years so I'm not confident to say that I got to know him but he seemed defeated and he wasn't willing to take care of himself anymore. I wish I got to know you now that I look back, thanks for everything ❤
I haven't spoken to my dad in over 4 years now. He wasn't a very good father from the start. Sure he was here and there but he moved away and after a while I felt alienated from him. 4 years ago he did something my sisters and I cant forgive that lead to us no longer speaking to him anymore. This song really makes me think about how different things would be if was just a better man not even for us but just for himself. I'm honestly not even sure how I will react if he was to pass away.
My grandfather, who was as close to me as a best friend, passed away earlier this year from a heart attack... I wish I could've at least said one goodbye to him... Wish he were here at least one more time to tell him that I am finally dating a nice girl(he always told me I got no game lmao)... Hope he's proud of me up there 🙏🏻❤️
My dad had me when he was really old he’s now 73 and I’m 15 I’m his last child and the only one who stays by his side this other children don’t communicate with him. It’s sad to see him have no one. Im still young and don’t always want to have responsibilities but I know that no one else would. He has been tru a lot, he has done a lot too but he’s my dad and even if he wasn’t always there for me I want him to know the I will no matter what cuz he’s my dad ❤️
everyone's talking about their dad so im assuming that this is what this song is about, but this reminds me of my old friend. i haven't heard from him since middle school. we found body-shaming notes in his locker and he just stopped coming to our school because he was so good academically that everyone put so much pressure on him. i remember one of my other friends and i asking him "are you okay?" and he just shook his head and said "no." i still feel guilty that i didn't have the guts to reach out or him. he's one of the kindest, smartest people i have ever met. and now it's like. he's gone. miss you man.
I like the fact that I'm here listening to this song again to see what it sounded like. As I had saved it months ago because I had thought of an apocalypse story while listening to it, and I'm finalizing some designs for it. And everyone's here like "I love my dad, I'm gonna go tell him" or that they lost their dad... Y'all I just made some OCs I'm not the target audience-
When I was younger I always found my dad annoying, and i regret it. My dad had nothing when he was a kid, he would sleep outside and he wouldn't have enough money to buy his lunch for school. But now I realize my dad was trying his best to provide the goods for me, he didnt want me to feel what he felt when he was a kid. He would always say to be thankful for the things I had and he would always say sorry if I didnt have things I wanted or if he wasnt there for me. Now that hes growing old I wanna do the best for him, i wanna make him happy. Happier when he raised me. I love you dad
Song hits hard tbh because my parents care for me but are emotionally abusive and don’t care how I feel and only care that I’m still alive and breathing
My dad committed suicide on Christmas a few years ago. Most of my childhood he struggled with schizophrenia and a heroin addiction so he wasn’t really around much and what little contact I did have with him was difficult to bear because I had to witness him slowly dying of aids and losing touch with reality. It really did hurt watching him fade away, but I came to accept that he was going to die, I just never expected him to take his own life. Today I found a picture of him holding me as a baby and I just burst into tears. I miss my dad, I miss the few times he was sober, I miss the way he used to call me babydoll, I miss listening to music with him, I just fucking miss him.
My dad died last week in a motorcycle accident, I can't get over it, I accidentally came across his accident photos, and now I feel traumatized. I want to go with him.
This song hits different for another reason. I was really close to my dad when I was young and never left his side. As I got older we grew apart and he didn't know how to talk to older kids. He was always better with younger ones. Both my parents have been abused, and my dad shows that the most with the way he acts. I miss being so close to him. But everytime I try to get close again he is so deep in conspiracy theories that it drives everyone away from him, says something backhanded or downright insulting. I still love him to death even if I get so angry at him. He's hit his 60s and I can see how age is catching up. I hate it and I wish could just let all my anger go towards him. But as much as I try I can't. I feel so guilty because he's trying his hardest even if he doesn't express it in the best way. So here I am sitting here after just turning 18, about to go to college and crying because we just got into an argument and I hate arguing with him so often.
aw i’m sorry love my dads the same way it effects us more than we know😕we can’t stop it but we can love them through it all i hope you and your dad’s relationship can grow and learn from each other
It hurts watching this because it doesn't remind me of my dad it reminds me of the person my mom dated before he always put a smile on my face and had great memories together. Today I found a stuffed animal that he gave to me when I was 5. My siblings ripped it tho I'm still upset about it. My dad is barely at the house and when he is he's in his room, It feels like he doesn't care. This made me cry and realize how much more he was a dad in that short time then my dad rn
My father passed last month. I had not spoken to him in some 13 years, half my life. I had to go to France to collect his things and settle his affairs. I was in the coffee shop in my hostel in Lyon, and this song came on. I rushed outside and just broke down. My father was a deeply troubled man, he was not good to us, but he came from terrible circumstances. I wish I had tried to understand him more, I wish I hadn’t been such a coward and reached out to him, it is only after I lost him that I realized that all the trouble in my life since he left was because of his absence. So much happiness, so much love missed out on, all the good things I could have had I turned my back on, all because of some misplaced, judgmental notion in my head. How wrong I have been my whole life. Now I will never know him in this life, I will not know how the French Sun looked on his aged but still handsome face, I will not know the smell of his hair when we hug, I will not know of his life and struggles, what his spirit spoke to his heart. He is gone, and I am left broken hearted, and it is all my fault. May God forgive me for not being stronger. Love you dad, I would give the world to embrace you again. I am sorry I rejected your love.
Instead of associating this song with my father I associate it with my brothers. The fact that we barley will get to see each other kills me, And I’ve noticed that the reason why I have my lashing behavior is because I’ll miss them so much. I feel like they’re growing up without me being by their side and I never will spend enough time with them for family circumstances and it just makes me feel so bitter. “And even though… We barely know each other, It still hurts; Watchin’ him fade away. I know you never meant to put him down, And even though you did he sure deserved it. The thought of them no longer be in’ around, I’m sure it will be sad but not really different. And even though you barely know each other, It still hurts. Watchin’ them fade away.” Life better be a happy ending. And if there isn’t I’ll make one. I love you boys.
My teacher who I saw as a parent figure quit today, they were the only person in school that actually listened, and it already feels like it's been a year
