Hah I'm not that kind of a person that feels very comfatable divulginge too much about himself, many of my best friends have offten told me that I should learn to unload my problems upon them, but I have always been the kind to sort out my problems for myself, that I can say is a direct result of my upbringing. I have a theory that new perants make their mistakes with their first child and learn how to be better perants after the second. I know this is true for myself.
So lets just say that I recived many beatings as a child, much desrved much not so. Me and my dad get on well enough now, and as an adult I can see that there really was no maliciouse intent, but even so I have an intolerance for drunken abusivness. I get drunk like most people, but I have always had a semblance of control, I am harldy ever violent (unless I need to be) and when drunk make a conciouse effert to see how I behave and make sure that I do not misbehave. Still my life now is grand, and I really do not worry over much about anything, not-with-standing the presures of everyday life. However at the same time, my dad has always been there for his kids, as I have said elsewhere I remember him working two jobs to support his family, he has always made sure that he spent quality time with each of his childen either on their own or togther, he taught me how to fish, to put a window in, to paint, to hang a door, change a plug, brew beer, cook, sew, iron, really all of the skills I need to have to live an independant life. He forced me out to work, he made me share the monetary burden of keeping a house when I was but 14 years old, it was I that gave my younger siblings their pocket money. Over all he has not been the best of fathers but ohh yes he did prepare me for life, and I think that maybe all of the problems between him and me where due to the pressures on him having such a large family at such a young age. Ahhha but I have already divulged too much, you canny people you. On 18 Aug, 13:06, deripsni <[email protected]> wrote: > Very odd then that you would have these ongoing dreams.
