Dad stories"Do anything good for your birthday?" one of your friendly B3TA moderator team asked in one of those father/son phone calls that last two minutes. "Yep," he said, "Your mum." Tell us about dads, lack of dad and being a dad.

The Bat FortMy dad made me a fort for Christmas when I was a young 'un - it had a drop down drawbridge and everything - it was especially good as my corgi batmobile fitted through the door too! He would get home from work and go out to the shed and work on it for weeks, it must have been freezing. I'm hoping it still exists. I left it behind in the loft when I left my mental ex, she never got it out for the kids to play with.
He is slowly slipping away due to dementia that has come on since he had a breakdown a few years back - it's horrific to see the vacant looks and lack of ability to cope with anything unexpected. I sometimes think it would be better to go out quickly than fade away.
Not a funny story, but a fond memory of him creating one of my favourite childhood toys and note to enjoy what time you have with them while you can (as long as they’re not dicks!)
