I never knew my dad as a kid, don't care to know him any more than I do now. I am the man in my life.

From the little I do know about that man he is a murderer and psychopath who was with my mom in high school and left many months before I was born. She never spoke to him again but said years later that she kept up with him from a distance in case I ever asked about him so she could be honest with me.

I never did. Never even thought about him during my childhood. I was too busy enjoying my life the way it was.

Around the age of 25 I looked him up just once, out of curiosity, and just shook my head at what I saw. Closed the page and never thought about him again. Not until I saw this thread here, actually. My mom was ten times the man he was and she made a fine father figure. extremely successful in the medical field despite having no college degree of any kind. the most hard working, no-nonsense person I have ever known. Extremely smart, I always thought she would have made the best police detective in the world. You can't get anything past her and her use of logic and interpersonal skills in getting what she wants is an awesome thing to behold...I would listen to her on business calls as a kid and just marvel at how she turned things 100% in her favor every single time. Learned so much from her about people and their nature, and getting what I wanted from them. She taught me how to treat good people great and bad people horrible. Cat lover, just like me, and above all else is selfless kind and loyal to her family. As far as I am concerned she IS my dad.

I got daddy issues, I don’t hate him but he’s an ass a lot of the time. If he was normal though I’d probably not have the personality I have or the ability to deal with abrasive attitudes. So I guess thanks for that dad.
