Oh phew, when he went from being sad a long time to suddenly being happier I thought "Oh shit, he's suicidal." Keep an eye on him anyway.
MoeLester69
when my girlfriend cheated on me my dad told me to buy a case of beer an get over it
TheToasterizle
From the first picture you seemed pretty happy your wife died
Feralphobia
i thought this was going to go in a way different direction... thanks for being alive OP's son!
hamdensoedefraslayer
Wait... You clean his room for him, at the age of 17?
jusxcrow
+1 for good parenting.
BANANAFLAKE
I've been single for almost 8 months now. I was with her for almost three years. I don't understand how she was able to move on.
Copricus
Why do you clean your 17 yo sons room?
ebraun99
As someone who got cheated on I totally get this. Props to yoy OP
jchawks08
My mom once offered to scratch a chicks eyes out for me when she saw I was heartbroke.
Supaji
i got that reference
whycanttheusernamehaveunderscores
Someone in my family like to think women don't cheat and men are all assholes. I'm going to favorite this for later.
RyanFrick
Fucking awesome for you and your son man. I carried a torch for a girl for a long time and it is very hard to say the least.
AwesomeTeddybear
Good for you, give your son a hug from us
WheezingAppleWannaBe
FUCK YEAH!!!!!! I JUST LOVE STORIES LIKE THESE ......GG DAD FOR NOT IGNORING IT AND BEING THERE AWESOME +1 OP

Since no cat tax in OP, you owe interest of 3 extra cat tax.

Plot for nemo 2
KalansPhantom
Didn't see the 17 at the top, just read "I'm single and my son is my wife". I need more coffee.
TheGoodLeftUndone
I was confused for a while when I read "My wife died when he was 11," I thought he was saying his wife was an 11 year old boy...
5NoteHalf
Actually that sounds like a GREAT plot for American reality shows. OR maybe some kind of Anime...
Draxverous
You are a pretty good father OP.
StocktimusPrime
"I was cleaning my 17 year old sons room" yes you are the worlds best Dad.

Her name is Brian.
nightmarerunner
He had arms and legs and hands and feet.
RobErtE87
The day you learned that your son nearly set fire to the house. Seriously, who puts that shit into the trashcan? Throw it into the compost
RobErtE87
or flush it down the toilet or whatever
LoneDirewolf
That was better written than some movies that came out this year
ImgurCouncilOfLlamas
Like The Interview?
dracomoss
Yes, that was exactly what i was thinking!
shinigamirobyn
I think you meant "most", most of the movies that came out this year.

That was beautiful.

Being a good parent is really fucking hard you guys. For you young ones, just wait. Good for you OP. Best of luck to you and your kid.
ninkujin
Being a good parent isn't really hard. It's being a really shitty parent that is easy. Not yelling at your kids Vs. screaming at them for 1/
ninkujin
no good reason doesn't take a whole lot of effort... actually being calm is less an effort and wont screw your kid up mentally.
thejollymolly
My son is one and I try my best everyday to make him happy.
abbadonsin
as a first time dad (sort of) I can confirm. Love my son to pieces.
Sacurason
We have a cat. When he got himself injured one day, we understood the horror of parenthood. We'll be good 'til we're thirty, thanks.
WhereLBJsNutsHang
I thought it would be physically demanding. Nope. Just emotionally draining and wrecking.
drunkanddressed
I'm 23 and not a parent yet. But I love reading what parents have to say. It makes me remember that were all human no matter the age.
DarkChildOne
I am not really looking forward to this. I have a 6 year old boy and a 1 year old girl.
abandandana
and here we have the reason why I dont wanna be a parent. I cant even handle my own shit, how am I supposed to take care of a child? crazy..
thingssomeonesays
Having kids got my own shit together so fast...but I know it doesn't work that way for everyone.
EhhhWhatsUpDoc
They make you want to do better for their sake, though not all parents text like that
unapologetic05
they make you the stronger, together person you never thought you could be. Also, you grow with them.
gogetahaircutyadamnhippie
How can you "sort of" be a first time dad?
PUPPIESARESOCUTEILOVETHEMSOMUCH
Thank you. I'm only 20 but I've been worrying lately about whether I'll ever be able to be a mother with my anxiety being as bad as it is
GarrettStopMotion
A year ago my mother went nuts, and started ignoring my siblings, &going clubing nearly every night while I had to watch them :( it sucked.
zombifiedchicken
Why did she do thay?
GarrettStopMotion
idk selfish reasons, she ended up kicking me out when i got a restraining order on her bf who was abusive to my sinlings.
Thajavaman
+1 for being there and showing interest in your son's life, not just going through the motions

TheGirafe
That was some sarcasm if I ever saw any.
irontom
Not just going through the trash*
Obi2Kenobi
As someone with a dad who does just that, OP is infinitely better for not being some vague presence in his son's life. +1
thewordsoftheprophetsarewrittenonthesubwaywall
as someone with just a vague presence let me tell you.....yup

AlexxPj
+1 for once more, with feeling!

I really need to rewatch Buffy, i miss Sunnydale :(
CommanderDick
Yeah, I fell off the rails a bit growing up because my dad wasn't involved in my life. Brother got involved in a serious collision a 1/2
CommanderDick
a couple years ago, families never been closer, weird how that works. 2/2
aureyh
Sometimes, it just takes something to kick someone awake. Nearly losing someone usually does the trick.
sheezyOG
My cousin was the black sheep of the family for awhile and after her accident in August, we've ask never been closer. Crazy how things work!
AmpsterMan
Sorry to hear about that. Same happened with me. I'm actually trying to get more involved in my father's life because he is older now.
Coheedgirl
My dads death brought my mom and I closer. But my moms death just furthered my relationship with my siblings. I almost never hear from them.
funkdoobi
My being hit by a drunk driver off of my bike when I was 12 ended a 4-yr fued my aunt started with my mom. Weird how shit works.

That meme. I don't think it means what you think it means.
ExpectedDickbuttGotDickbutt
i don't think this is the most appropriate father figure to add to this post! lol

McKavian
I have seen this all over, why is it not appropriate?
FatherOfFour
Are you being ironic or haven't you read/watched Game of Thrones?
McKavian
I have neither watched nor read GoT - so, no, I am actually not joking and I am honestly ignorant of it.
FatherOfFour
The character's name is Jaime Lannister. I don't want to give any spoilers, but if you want to know you can easily find out.
awfullerthanyou
Well done old man. Breaks your heart watching them go through it.
PrismNZ
And I feel helpless, because he's so sad but he's sad because I'm going through something. I just want to see him happy :( fuck cancer
TheSGH
They have to go through it though :(
SvarvSven
What do you mean with old...he could be young! Like me! (my son is 16) ...
PrismNZ
I feel awful because I'm 14 and I'm going through cancer (third time) and when my dad talks to me he cries he hates to see me go thru this.
signalswitch64
I'm saving myself and my dad the pain by never dating anyone. Yup, totally by choice...
awfullerthanyou
Sometimes you don't get to choose.
GarrettStopMotion
I feel your pain, im nearly 19, and it sucks:(
soundaholic
Just not your choice, am I right?
Supanini
Damn what a surreal feeling that must be. I'm feelin for both of them and I don't even have a kid

You have feelings tho and that's all that is needed.
