I don’t hate him or anything, but we didn’t have a bond or a relationship. Everything was about appearances. If he showed up somewhere it wasn’t because of me, it was because it was expected of him. There are a lot of people like this. Hiding behind a shield of respectability. You find them often in medicine, law etc… It’s a bullshit way to go through life.

Yeah man, obviously you know better as it was your dad. Sorry to hear you didn’t have the best relationship and hopefully it doesn’t gnaw at you. I was sticking up for the kind of dad that turns up all the time but the kid never realises the sacrifices that were made for him and how much he was loved (the dad being too old school to tell him!). I’m not sure if you have kids yet but since I had mine I discovered a new found respect for my folks and how hard it must have been for them. Peace brother

As a father myself I recognize the reality that my children will grade me and it will be pass/fail. We don’t control that. All we can do is do our best, I have faith our graders will be fair.

That grade isn’t static, nor is it one dimensional.
