If there's one thing I have a lot of, it's stories. And I haven't even started lying yet.<br /><br />Andrea - thanks so much. Some intervention would have been great. Lot's of time since then spent in quiet rooms with therapists, made the difference.<br /><br />ABAO - Thanks so much for the supportive words. You gotta wait a little bit longer for more about my dad.<br /><br />Robyn - Yup, she was crazy as a loon. I wish there had been a social worker around when I was young.

He bursts into tears when he forgets to say goodbye to me when I'm leaving to get dinner from the drive thru. I can't imagine how you must have felt as a child, having your father walk out that door. <br /><br />35 years.... You heard from him again? <br /><br />The check from the military, were they support?<br /><br />I need more information Pat!California Keyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09105598836618841680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-52585597212619433492010-03-29T12:13:46.591-07:002010-03-29T12:13:46.591-07:00I can't imagine what life must have been like ...I can't imagine what life must have been like - I can't help but feel deep and utter disgust sometimes as I read - not meaning to offend - just that my heart breaks that any person, greater still, a child at any time would ever have to go through some of the things you did. I have two of my own - and to even imagine making one of them feel worthless and unwanted is gut-wrinching! You seem to have come out - through much hard work mentally and emotionally - on the better side as a better individual. Thank you for making that decision, couldn't have been easy, and for sharing with all of us.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955185309086728925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-58051133023433803662010-03-29T09:02:27.520-07:002010-03-29T09:02:27.520-07:00I enjoy reading your stories - you are a great sto...I enjoy reading your stories - you are a great storyteller!
