Today, 9:12 am

My father gave me nothing at all....left when we were kids

 then he showed up with his crazy wife and invited himself back into my life

They asked me to go to lunch with them.....

asked me for a job for both of them

wanted a good salary and benefits but they told me not to expect too much from them

they wanted to slow down and semi-retire....turns out they were broke and I was their only option

I told them, "NO!"

They left the restaurant yelling at me saying, "You're not a good son!"

I stayed to finish lunch....ate there all the time...good food

Last time I ever saw them...imagine....he used to be a doctor but he liked his booze and stray ****** too much

turned into a bum out of options

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that. 

**** men cause tremendous and lasting psychological damage.

It will be to your enormous credit if you've stopped the cycle.

My parents split when I was 3. Across the Atlantic. 

For 8 years, he was a guy in America sending toys at Christmas and Beatles albums....don't know if I ever had any idea what he looked like.

I was 11 when my mother took me to meet him in a hotel room in Copenhagen.  

He was a complete stranger in wire rimmed glasses and a tailored suit.

We shook hands...
