I am so upset...

[Kristy]

Well, after I found out that all my cresties were girls I was alittle bummed. I hoped to have at least one male.

Well my Dad and I had been mending our to say the least, rocky relationship. Talking alot and getting along pretty well. I mentioned the cresties to him, he said he would buy me a male. Well I worked out a deal with the breeder, my dad said he would put the money in my paypal account two days ago. Haven't heard from him since, never a deposit in the account. Nothing. Don't get me wrong, it was supposed to be a gift I am not mad about the money. I am mad because I will have to yet again apologize to someone else for him, and he lied to me. Its going to make me look bad, because of him again. Now he doesn't answer my emails. It makes me really sad. I was hoping maybe for the first time in almost 10 years my dad and I could really have a relationship, apparently he is just the same person. Its really depressing to say the least. Sometimes I wonder how parents can do this to their children

empty promises huh?.........yup they stink, i hope it all works out for you..........it's not fun when these things happen, and now you seem like a middle man on top of it................

have some sunshine

[Kristy]

Pretty much.. thats the way its always been.
Thanks for the sunshine, I could definately use it.

[Snakeman]

some people just arent meant to make promises. i get it all the time but i know how to deal with it. im sure it'll work out for you in the end.

Empty promises always feel crappy, but when they come from parents, it always seems to feel worse.

Hope it gets better for you. Here is some more and

Sorry your dad disappointed you. But it sounds like you still put faith and trust in him. I think thats a good quality for a person (you) to have despite past happenings. I hope you feel better.

I'm sorry things fell through with your deal, but even more that the bridge you'd been building with your father has collapsed beneath your feet. It sounds like he wanted very much to give you something special, but wasn't able to come up with the money. I hope you are able to mend things with him.

[Kristy]

Thank you guys. I have a lot of faith in him, but unfortunately its running short after 10 years. I think I have just learned to forgive, but never forget. At this point and take everything he says like a grain of salt.

Thank you guys...

Too bad I can pluck that little sun off the screen and toss it up into the sky... its already getting really cold here.

the ones that dont care dont matter

[mlededee]

sorry about your dad.

the bright side though, is that NO ONE ever gets ALL female cresteds! you must have good karma or something.
