Memories

[Jackalope]

Dad sounds like a dick.

The man I've described was a very bad father, but I never thought of him as a dad until recently. I sought out my "father" two years ago, and I found the man I now call "dad". We've both grown so much. I love my dad.

My father was merely emotionally absent. I can't imagine going through that kind of abuse and finding it within myself to reconcile. I haven't done so with my father, and until he is capable of meeting me part of the way, I won't.

You are a better man than I, seriously.
