'But what did I know then...'
Years ago, when I was about 16, after my parents had divorced and I had learned things about my dad that made me sick, he came to see me at my grandmothers and brought me a blood red lipgloss. It was an expensive designer brand and I was convinced that he had stolen it. It made me so upset to think that he had stolen something to give me a gift. I wouldn't take the gloss and when he asked me why I wouldn't say. He was so upset that he just left. He didn't even seem mad. I know that my past has shaped who I am and I would never want to go back and change anything that's happened to me. I only wonder about what could have been and where I would be if things with my dad had been different.

Never too late to explore a relationship with your pops. Especially an honest one, where you are able to tell him about the things that make you upset -- past and present.
I'm sorry I wasn't there for everything, I only remember when your parents first split up and how hard it was for you. So I'm in the dark in terms of what happened with your dad, but I'm leaning towards Reynier's statement..
