Tonight we have discussed the impact on fathers in our lives. Fathers day means something different to all of us, some love the idea others see it as another day. Regardless their is no wrong or right way to view fathers day. We have appreciated that it can be a hard day for some that grew up without a father figure or have lost their father. Fathers make us laugh, they love us, they care for us and most importantly they look out for us. We might not all see that in our fathers but we have to remember the different relationships we share with our parents.
Getting our fathers gift can be easier than imagined, father's are usually content and happy with anything. From the odd socks, ties or 'best dad' mug to something as simple as spending time with them.
We agree that a Father ideally would be loving, supportive, breakdown gender sterotypes and overall a role model. We bond with our fathers in different ways, some enjoy bonding with their dad others just do it for everyday peace. Whatever your relationship with your father or father figure we have to acknowledge that no two people will ever have the same opinion on their fathers and that is totally fine. We all experience life in different ways and have to build our own path from what we are given. Although it can be hard to talk about your father especially if you've lacked having a good relationship with him it can also help you overcome that.
So this Fathers Day whatever you might be doing, or not doing, remember to appreciate your dad or father figure and remind them how much you love them or enjoy the beautiful Sunday with friends or even just spend it like any other Sunday.
Thank you for joining tonight have yourself a good night

@stonepixie such a nice surprise he'll get!! @j95 sorry that you didn't have these experiences growing up, maybe try thinking of any other male role models and how they have made you happy or smile at one point in your life.

How do you bond or get along with your dad or other male role models in your life?
My dad sees me as the son he never had. So growing up we would bond over sport, me having an interest in his business and both our love for food!!!!

@j95 thanks for your input i would definitely agree a father should defintely be a role model and as @stonepixie he should be loving caring and breakdown gender stereotypes! Its a very important role

I think a father should be a carer, protector, and most importantly a friend. Someone who looks after you when you're growing up and lets you eat junk good when your mum says no :)

Sounds nice @Myvo I think we have all been culprits of the tie or socks we would get from schools fathers day stall. I think the best would be just spending time with your dad doing something he likes that's what I believe would most make him happy.

What makes your father – or a father figure in your life- special?
My father is amazing I'm so lucky and blessed to have the streotypical ideal of a father, loving, caring, strong, honest, soft hearted and hard working. A provider and carer!!!

@sunflowers sorry to hear of your friends loss. Losing someone close to you is very hard in any case but with fathers day coming up I can't imagine how hard it would be. As a friend all you can do is be supportive and try your best to keep their mind off what has happened

Hi everyone thank you for joining us tonight!!! For me fathers day is very important, I've been lucky and blessed to have such an amazing father and a day dedicated to him means alot to me. I know not everyone has a good relationship with their father or their father wasn't present during their life but hopefully we have a father figure in someone.

Hey @j95 I can asure you that you are not alone and at some point in others lifes they feel as though they have to fit in with an ideal or portay some sense of "perfection". I think it is a whole lot of crap there is no universal definition as perfect, because what you might see as perfect I mightn't or vice versa. I think you have to really get passed the idea of perfect and accept yourself, that is when others accept you. If you are happy and content with you as a person both inside and out that's when what others say can never be a put down. Reflect on your good qualties and embrace your imperfections that is when you as a whole can grow as a human with feelings and emotions. Never compare yourself to others, you'll never be pleased always remember the beauty of a rose is different to that of a tulip.
Stay stong

Hey @Creativegirl12 I'm very sorry to hear of all the negative emotions and events that you are dealing with. It is so unfortunate that you have to deal with crappy things and feel as though they are never ending. How are you doing now? Have you tried incorporating a positive mindset and reminding yourself of all the good things in your life. It may seem hard at this stage and you feel as though you can't deal with it but you have to stay strong and fight the negativity. Take yourself to a place in your life when you have been really happy and strive to get to that place. It is possible because you have been therre before and can get there again! We are here for you at RO, please chat to us whenever you want
Stay strong hope to hear from you

Hey @ptv_lover like the others have mentioned well done on your bravery and sharing with us on RO! Seems like you have had to experience unfortunate situations in life! Bullying in any form or shape is disgusting and shouldn't be tolerated, you having to put up with it is quite horrible. At this stage in your life it sounds like you are doing well, sticking with your treatment plan and really looking forward to a good future and forgetting all the negativity will be the best thing you can do for yourself. Others will always try to put you down in life but you must not let them!!! Don't give them the satisfaction they want and crave, stay strong, be positive and be kind to yourself.
I hope for you nothing but the best, stay strong

Hey @Kakio3 that is such amazing news! I'm glad everything is taking a turn for the best. I hope everything continues to go up hill for you and you find the strength and happiness to deal with anything. Always remember that good and bad things happen to everyone, we don't have to understand why just know that they happen to everyone! At times when you are feeling down and feel like it's getting too much just remember the good placce you are at and know you can get there again with time.
Stay strong and wish you all the best.

Hey @annedert
Thanks for sharing your emotions and story with us on RO! Sorry that you have to deal with so much, uni can be so full on optop of that you are dealing with schizophrenia. Your strength and determination to make it as far as you have is amazing never forget that. I would also recommend seeing your career counsellor at uni to get an idea of what you want to do and strive to get there. If you want to drop a component of the degree because you feel you don't need it then don't be afraid to, if you're 110% sure of it then do it to ease your stress levels. Also seeing your gp is a good idea they can offer you support.
Your boyfriend moving in with you could be a very good thing for you but if isn't ready for it give him time, there is no rush. You seem to have a good relationship and you don't want to push him the wrong way. You said you don't hide your symptoms from your mother, she seems to be an important firgure in your life don't be afraid to reach out to her i'm sure she would do anything she can to help, as any mother would.
Stay strong

Hey @Kornag like the others i wanted to recognise what a good friend you have been!!! You have shown to be a true friend when someone was in need that's amazing. Maybe now that you are back from your trip and will be spending time with him he will be spending less time with the female friend and maybe the feelings will pass. Just try to keep your friend busy and introduce him to others so he can interact with others and not become dependant on one person.
As @Myvo mentioned you have to remember to also take care of yourself and ensure that although your friend needs you, you need to take time for you.
All the best
