Yep. He was a trip. Loved to tell me that I should kill myself. Gave specific recommendations as to how he thought I should do it. Asked if I needed supplies, etc.

In public, he loved to say “there is nothing more important than for a child to be wanted” while looking right at me.

Thanks! I am really lucky to have made it to adulthood but I am married with two amazing kids. Life is good!

I think this is a good tip for people with emotionally healthy families.

I deeply regret the time I spent with my dad over the years. He has been gone over twenty years now and I have not missed him yet.

Pro tip: Life is short. Spend yours with people who care about you.
