Atigam,

I always hate it when I learn of someone who was mistreated and abused as a child.  You have obviously overcome it and have become a wonderful, loving dad.   That takes a special person, as you seem to be.  There is no doubt in my mind that you will be rewarded with lots of love from your children.  You will deserve it. 

Thanks for your comments and I appreciate that you commented on my post a lot, especially about something so painful for you.

A.J.,

Thanks for your kind words.  I hope to be able to bet back to writing the rest of the fictionalized version of my first marriage soon.  Dad is doing better right now but he starts his next week of chemo again on Monday.  When he is receiving the chemo, he says he can feel it immediately and it makes him very tired and somewhat nauseous. 

 

This time around, the chemo will be a little weaker so maybe he won't feel so bad.  If not, and if all goes well, I hope to be able to start writing regularly again.  Keep your fingers crossed, okay?

As you find the time...

...I hope you'll return to writing the fictionalized version of your life.  However, I'm enjoying reading the real stuff--especially, as happy as it all seems to be at the moment!

There was only one of me, but I grew up in a home such as you described, and I'll settle for nothing less for me.

So glad that love turned out so much sweeter the second time around!

Hugs!

I am always envious

of people who had great dads. My dad was a brutal monster and his passing was more a relief than a tragedy.

I have worked very hard to not be like him, even though some of his anger courses through my veins. I never allow that anger to be vented on my kids, though, especially the violence. I hope that, if I go through what your dad is going through, or when my time is near, I will have earned a love from my kids much like you are showing.

All my best.
