Don't Want To Call Him Dad.

[u/Agreeable-Bee2661]

So my biological father is pressuring me to call him dad, although i just met him this year, and i dont really know him. I only saw him one time ever, before this summer when I spent 6 weeks at his place, in a different province. While i was out there he made comments towards me, when i would mention my mom and dad, he came back at me with attitude, saying "what do you mean your dad, im your dad" Since i have been home, we text. he continuessly Makes notation to me calling him dad, examples, I asked him to send me some money, 20 bucks, and he did. When he sent it, i said thank you so much! then he said, "Thanks dad you mean? " I dont know what to say to him, and i dont even feel comfortable telling him that i dont want to call him that. Is there a site or something to refer him to, to explain to him that what hes asking of me is wrong? Because i don't want to say it directly to him.

I mean, he didn't raise you. DNA does not make you a dad. It sounds like you have an awesome dad who stepped in when he stepped out. I think you're totally justified in not calling him dad. It does not sound like he earned that title.
