no Rick, more like growing up thinking you have a dad, and when the divorce happens, at age 13 receiving the happy news : btw, he's not your real dad...

Or sending me to a child psychologist... and then bedding that psychologist...
Very good for my trust in his profession btw..

No wonder i was impossible to manage, how could anybody have expected me to comply with anything, there was nothing i feared , nobody had any leverage on me...
threats with punishment, detention , expelling me from school, meant nothing to me...

How can you threaten a kid that he'll be kicked out of school, when the kid doesn't want to be in school in the first place..
in retrospect, that's the biggest joke of all... That nobody could figure out such a basic contradiction...everybody felt they were so smart when dealing with me...
Educated folks , teachers, psychologists... Only thing they could come up with was "you have to go to school, it's the law"... pretty lame point to make to a kid who doesn't care...
Only other point was "you gotta study now in high school if you want to get into university"

Study now? so i can study more when i get 18 ?? Why would i wanna study then, if i don't even wanna study now? duh!?

It's like telling a kid, he will skip dinner if he doesn't behave, when the stink of brussels sprouts and liver is coming out of the kitchen....
