Re: Do you want to beat your Dad up ?
 

There is a time when I would have answered yes to this. My dad's a local celebrity in Houston...and while I was in JH and HS he was a raging alcoholic who wasn't good for [censored]. Since I went off to college several years back, he got in recovery and now I wouldn't trade a single day with him.

Condolences to the guy who lost his Dad...while I'm hoping I outlive mine, I am dreading the day I have to deal with that pain.

my dad's life is his own punishment.

Re: Do you want to beat your Dad up ?
 

I remember the exact moment i realized I wasn't scared of my father anymore. But I didn't want to beat him up then, and I was actually a little sad about it. I certainly don't now.

He's not Mattress Mac is he? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I have no idea why he came to mind. I also considered listing all the local newsmen there that everyone knows were alcoholics but I don't really want to know. Glad he's clean now.

Wow, my dad is an alcoholic also and lives in Houston. He isn't Mattress Mac though. But, speaking of the Mac man, he had to come to my shcool when I was a kid as part of his probation and tell us to keep the "monkey off my back". It worked wonders. 4 years later I was dropping acid left and right.

My dad passed a couple of years ago at 48 with 4 of my siblings living at home after a 9 month battle with cancer. No I do not want to beat him up. I would give up most of the things I enjoy in order to be able to get his wisdom on various things in my life.

The only correct answer for me is NO.

One day, all of the under 25 crowd in here will grow up and realize that their parents knew a lot more than they thought. Once this happens the answers to this post will drastically change!

For those with abusive fathers....continue to feel the way you do!

I don't know where my Dad is but he has to be about 64 or so. I think I could take him. I'm positive I could.

Is it just me or is this messed up? (if you're just kidding continue on)

Re: Do you want to beat your Dad up ?
 

No, I stopped caring that much a long time ago. I talk to my dad once every few months or so and I havent talked to my stepdad (who I always considered my "real father") in almost a year.

Re: Do you want to beat your Dad up ?
 

why? Why don't you call your stepdad (is it just apathy or distance or what)?

I don't get parents that don't want to stay in touch with their kids. They have to have a self-centered brain-wiring thing going on there. Like a character flaw.

My dad is an ex-Rugby player so my answer is no. He could beat the living crap out of me.
