>>115907797Really nice during "child"hood, fucking asshole and unsupportive in adolescence and adulthood.
My dad worked 2nd shift, Sunday through Thursday.
So basically from the age of 6 to 13 I only saw my dad Friday evenings through Sunday mornings (usually not even that because Church on sundays and Dad never went to church).
I'm sure my dad compensated for lack of time together by being extra "cool" on the weekend.
My dad is 44 years older than me.
He was born in '47, I was born in '91.
He was raised in rural Chillicothe, Ohio on a big plot of land. I was raised in the suburbs of Grove City, Ohio.
My dad was Salutatorian when he graduated.
I graduated with a 2.7 GPA.
My dad join the airforce national guard in '68 so that he wouldn't get drafted into the marines. My dad served a year in Korea.
He was raised by a WWII Marine veteran, and both parents grew up on farms.
Many factors played a role in a break down in our relationship.
As I said, I pretty much only saw my dad 2 days a week and in the summer in my "child"hood. So the worst I could say then was he was pretty rough with punishment with a child at least. My dad has gorilla like hands and didn't hold back, so spankings fucking hurt.
Also for like a year and a half he would use a horse whip he bought in Kentucky.
When I finally got more time with my dad, I was in the peak of my teenage years and he was in his over the hill years.
My dad retired when I was 14. So when he finally had all the time possible to spend time with me he was fed up and I was a angsty teenager.
The same year he retired, he got mad at me and my sister and said
>I'm too damn old to be raising kids! These are tenants that I can't evict!It hit me hard when he said that.
