Facebook - to friend or not to friend?

[Alchemyst]

Today I just got a request on Facebook from my father to add him as a friend. I haven't spoken to him in almost 20 years.

I always thought I would tell him to suck my *expletive* but now that I am actually faced with that decision I am torn. I do want to talk to him but I also want to pummel him for not acting like he cared all those years.
What would you all do?

At least be the better person and see what he has to say, if it is nothing in regards to him trying to re-establish a better relationship with you, part ways

I'm not sure what the circumstance for why you and your father haven't spoken, but people change and 20 years is a very long time.

But regardless if you plan to give him a second chance or not, Life is too short... and even if you hate is guts, you should at least contact him for yourself, to complete whatever unresolved conversations or issues you might have with him.

Just my opinion though. Hope it helps

I had this happen to me on MySpace.. 3 or 4 years ago. I sent him a message saying, I appreciate you trying to be in my life. But I don't really have room for this right now. Sorry.
I haven't heard from him since.

To the OP,if it makes you feel better,my dad almost had me killed when I got pneumonia as a small kid a long time ago. He kept assuming that it wasn't a big deal,when he finally took me to the hospital the doctor yelled at him because my condition was really serious. Don't become friends with your dad.

I never realized how many dudes had *******s for fathers. You better hope that **** is not genetic.

Of course, it's always subjective.

That's a sad story... but... what does that have to do with Facebook? Or this thread? And what does what your dad not taking you to the hospital have to do with your conclusion that you shouldn't be his friend?

I only threw what I said out there because the OP was talking about a major issue that he has with his dad.
