I was ...I really know where you're coming from. I was showered with withering abuse by my father for my physical shortcomings. I had a pretty bad speech impediment and I have always had very poor physical coordination. I was seen as "defective" by my dad and was seen by him as an embarrassment to the family. <br /><br />I've learned, in adulthood, that we forge our own families and the people we consider "family" don't necessarily have to be people with our genetic code. <br /><br />My father is a millionaire. He's a fundamentalist Christian. He thinks he is so much better than me. He has not spoken to me since 1995. But I think there will come a time in his life -- and probably sooner than later -- in which he will wish he had a devoted son by his side in his declining, twilight years. <br /><br />I won't be there.Butterfly Magehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170862876599953345noreply@blogger.com
