Father's day
|
Father's day When it comes to dads, I think I have the best one ever. He was 19 when I was born, my mom had a 2 year old from a previous relationship. My dad loved us both the same. When I was about 3, my moms inner demons got the best of her and she just sort of lost her mind. Mom and dad split up and they tried sharing custody of us. We spent more and more time with dad. He learned to be both parents, baking, braiding my hair, not showing the slightest embarrassment when he showed up for a Mother's Day tea party when I was in first grade. Every couple years mom would vow to turn her life around, she was sober, she was healthy, we'd get back into each other's lives and just when it seemed like she was really ok, the bottom would fall out. An abusive partner, an unexpected pregnancy, a lost job, an eviction, it was always something. The only constant thing in her life was turmoil. When I was 14 and my older brother 16, dad got sole custody of me, and adopted him. We had one house, with one parent doing the job of two, and doing it brilliantly. He taught us everything. Both of us. We could both cook and clean and sew buttons and mow grass and change tires and starters and alternators. He wasn't concerned with gender roles, he'd done it all, we could too. He taught us about dating, how to respect and be respected. He made us into "good people." He sacrificed a lot at a young age, and there is no way I can ever express how much I appreciate the crooked messy braids when he first tackled hair care. And the way he'd greet a new boyfriend, they had to come to the door and meet him before I could leave the house, he was nice, but he made it very clear that he would teach them to respect a young lady if they hadn't learned how to already. And the way sat me down shortly after my husband passed away and convinced me that I was totally equipped with the necessary skill set required to be both parents. He'd been in those shoes, he knew what it took, and he was sure to teach me when I was a and to encourage me when I was unexpectedly pinch hitting as dad. I couldn't ask for a better dad. |

your Mom did 1 thing right it seems when She married your Dad..Whew..good thing for you I guess. I lost my dad at 13 and my Mom had 5 kids to raise,,I don't know how She did it but we all turned out OK. A good bet is a woman that loves her Dad..She is the one to find.
