FWIW my very strong belief is that people who treat others with violence are simply manifesting disappointment in their own perceived failures and lack the bravery to punch themselves in their own face. Coming out of a relationship like that with the empathy and thoughtfulness you very clearly possess (and i base that on almost two decades of reading your posts) has nothing to do with your dad and everything to do with you.
Pat yourself on the back brother.

Well said.
BVD's post was long so I won't quote it except for one phrase, "...but he was proud of the Man grew to be."
You got more than I did.
As I've mentioned before, my dad had to be the model for the Don Draper character in
Mad Men. Actually his wife and son's characters fit pretty well, but Don and my dad were one and the same. Same fking car even. Their endings were not the same.
Yeah, Boomers are all over the place when it comes to how life worked out. I mean all over the place. Very happy to have lived the times.
