Dadbeat Dad

My father has been a deadbeat for all of my life. I never got a single penny out of him and neither did the rest of his kids. My mother divorced my Dad when I was about 6 years old as she had found out he travelled to Malta to have an affair with another woman. At around the same time, I had started first grade in school and had separation anxiety. I was a "daddy's girl" and seeing all the other kids with their Dads on their first day of school, I wondered where my father was. This damaged me as a little girl.
