[quote=Anonymous]I got my oil changed yesterday in my six month old car and while chatting with the service writer about the schedule of maintenance for my car it occurred to me that this is the one positive live lesson I got from my so-called father.

Haven’t seen or spoke to him in 25 years and zero regrets. My early childhood was a nightmare of seeing and experiencing his drunken rages and violent attacks on my mother my siblings and myself. The violence subsided somewhat by the time I was in late grade school but the fear of it was always in me and the daily cruel bullying destroyed my childhood in so many ways - I wouldn’t have an happy memories if not for the weeks every year my mother sent me to stay with my grandparents.

Out of four kids only one still speaks to him so don’t go criticizing me. The child who still speaks to him grew up practicing abuse on his little sister (me) and went on to be a wife and child abuser himself.

I don’t hate my father but I feel total indifference toward him. If you told me he was being abused by a caregiver I’d think oh snap karma is real.[/quote]
