[quote:Anonymous Coward 29274067:MV8yMDc0Mjk1XzM0OTI0MTAyX0FFNzIwRkUz] [quote:geminilion:MV8yMDc0Mjk1XzM0OTIzOTIzXzc4ODczNEY2] Though my father was living in the home it was almost like I didn't have a father. He was a violent, raging alcoholic with mental illness. I think it's really important to have a dad around and it's something that I always wished I had. I remember my dad hugging my just once, don't know what came over him. He died a few years ago..I forgive him for the hell he put me through because he was sick. My brother never could forgive him which was his right I guess. [/quote] Sorry to hear that. I feel like never knowing my father caused me to be more timid around people, like in high school when all the other kids in class were talking about sports and baseball and stuff with the coach I was totally out of the loop and they made fun of me for it, the "sensitive" guy". I especially hated the christian kids with their big families and church on sundays mentality. Plenty of jargon about how I'm not a real man cause I don't know who's doing well in the playoffs. And I always had trouble trying to make relationships work because I never had that modeled for me at home. Also, most of the other kids I was friends with who grew up without their dad are either on drugs or in prison. [/quote]
