>>95631612I had an okay childhood, but there was this huge gulf between myself and my father. Years later, I found out it's because he and my wife separated for a while before I was born and the timing always made my conception a bit questionable to him. Regardless of the why though, he and I never got along. I tried so hard in my life to bridge that gap and be the perfect son, but it just never really happened. Years later, now, and I'm a father of my own and haven't spoken to him since before my own son was born. I tried so hard once upon a time to be his ideal son, and I always hated how Max couldn't see what a good thing he had regardless of how flawed his dad was.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that, while I didn't always get what I wanted out of life, I tried my best and I'm content with it. Well, that and the fact that I got into this screenshot with the rest of you, reddit.
