I'm not saying that your father is a horrible father or husband, nor that he wouldn't be charitable or otherwise a pleasant person. What I'm saying is that he lives in a fantasy world, that he can't have all his screws tight due to "hearing" voices and that he has most definitely brought you up to be unquestioning (like he probably was) and that he is not a great thinker.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
