paternal struggle

annie

so my dad is from another country and doesn’t live with me. i’m in the us with my mom and her side of the family and yes we have it good, but things aren’t always great.

i recently discovered i have a blood right to citizenship in my dads country but before i found this out, we hadn’t talked for almost a 6 months and prior to the two years before that, he hadn’t talked to me since i was 8. i’m 18 now. he also never told me i could legally become a citizen in his country.

the last 2 messages i sent to him referenced he needed to step up for me because even though he has my half sister to take care of, he missed 8 years of my life and i should be just as important to him as my sister is. the other message was me disowning him over text about a month after the first one.

i was angry and didn’t know what to do since he wouldn’t talk to me for months on end without warning so i decided to block him. 6 months later and i’m trying to reach out to get questions answered so i can be able to gain my dual citizenship in 4 years.

i have a feeling he blocked me since i disowned him and me blocking him anyways didn’t help the situation. i’m not sure if i should continue to pursue a relationship with someone who’s missed so much and will possibly never speak to me again (like he did anyways) or if i should fight to get questions answered and my birth right to citizenship in his country.

i don’t know what to do because i’d have to talk with my father anyways cause i would need to prove he’s a citizen and also my dad before any attempts are made. there’s possibly a slim chance i can prove myself with a dna test and not have to talk with him but if i do, any help would be appreciated for my situation.
