biological father

My biological father is footloose. He just sent me an email:

If my first order is 50,000 pieces, and $8 a piece, I am going to loan $350,000 from the Hong Kong Band with their letter of credit. I earn $150,000 from my first order. If I come back to China next month, my shipment of my first order is on March of 2006. Hong Kong at Oakland has decided to support my product and has lond me money for this trip. Once I have more money, I am going to buy you a store like the one of "The Oakland Pharmacy Store" in Fu Hing center.

I choose not to believe him, or in his success, since my mother divorced him many years ago, when I was 6 or 7. He argued with my mother a lot; he didn't want to work. He wanted to be an inventor like Thomas Edison; I haven't known him to be anyone who works or studies to completion. He studied at various state universities before dropping out.

Who supported him financially while he was trying out new shoes? My mom. She walked to work during her pregnancy with me, and she went back to work after giving birth to me (maternity leave not being a popular in the golden days). She worked as a programmer at a bank while her husband, my biological father, gets her further in debt with loans and unfulfilled promises.

Now he wants to reimburse my mother and me.

His family has tried to keep contact with me, especially my grandam. They asked me to ask him to stay in the U.S. because of his diabetes medicine, which the Medicaid will not pay for as long as he is outside of the U.S. As a filial son, I sent a message to him, but he hasn't answered it.

I could care less, I guess, for him to have fathered me, but did not mother me. That's a quality I admit I lack, the ability to care for someone genuinely, with no strings attached or vacillations of "but still."
