Okay I have some unresolved father issues, my step dad who really isn't my step dad anymore is a dick and my biological father faked his death many years ago only to turn out to be alive. Here's the thing, I liked him when I was a kid, I didn't know he was my biological dad at the time. He was just my mom's boss (shut up) who really liked me. When my mother went alcoholic around the divorce she told me the truth but by then I haven't seen him for a couple years.

When I was 15 my sister passed the message he passed away, and a couple years later my mom tells me he's alive and working as a cook at some other restaurant. Now this would be the first time I see him in years and also the first time I see him while knowing he's my biological father. He was surprised and asked how I was, but it was nothing special. I'd occasionally visit him for another year before he moves to Texas so he can help his other son out.

Now I'm going to the RTX this summer, I have enough money already so it's a guarantee. When my mom found out about my travel plans she called and asked if I was going to see my father. He'd be a couple cities away but I don't know if I should put the time and money to do so, I mean he is my dad but he never gave out that vibe to me, and I'm still pissed about the whole oh I'm not dead thing (I never dared to bring the subject up). But at the same time I don't want to end things like this, Idk maybe I just want to feel like I actually had a dad or something, but I'm already turning 22, I'm going to have a teaching career next year, I don't know if it's immature for me to feel that way, that way being me seeking a father figure this late in the game. What do you guys think?

tl;dr going to Texas, dad who I didn't know who was my dad at first faked his death, is alright and I'll have the means to see him again this summer. Should I and try to connect familial bridges or not because he should be the one or it's already too late for that

Asking the flood a question like this will only return in bad responses.

I feel for you here, but yes, maybe you should'nt as such be seeking the father figure, more the person who you should meet and to be on decent terms with. But its what you want to and don't feel pressured by any other family members for any reasons.

It depends. If you have that much need for a dad go for it, but I feel things you didn't grow up with aren't really needed that much. It's the only life you lived and it's the only life you know; and it was all without a dad.

Man go see him. If you liked him then why not, he sounds like the only nice guy in your family.

yeah I kinda want to just to ask him questions. Mainly what the hell. but I know neither of us will bring up the subject that we are indeed family, and then I'll just end up going home having the same incomplete feeling. That likely scenario is what's stopping me
