I was raised by my father as an only child. My brothers and sisters hated him.
Seriously though, you have my sympathy.. I have mixed feelings about my dad too, I think I blanked out a lot of the bad stuff from my mind as a kid and focused on his good points.
After he and my mother disowned me, my life improved and we hardly ever spoke. That situation remained up until he died a few years back..
It's funny though, I find myself describing him as a good bloke, and like I say remembering his good points rather than some of the shitty things he did.
