All that Jazz
Every move you make to forge your own path is blocked. What is the role of a parent. To help your children to rise above. Both of my parents had secrets which they did not share with their friends. As a family I thought it was my duty not to share those secrets. The lies they were living. I was shocked when I moved to North Carolina to find people I didn't know, knew all about my dirty laundry. When I made friends, I kept them miles from my family. The few times I brought friends to their house, I learned that my job would not be mentioned, but the roaches in my apartment would be. The new dress I had bought with my earned money, would be qualified with a mention of the sneakers they bought me. I learned that I had to create a network of friends away from my family. Which is really the way it should be anyway. Children are supposed to have a support system separate from their family.

Manly(ish)
Hand off your hat, Grab a beer, and Settle in. We’re off for a bumpy ride. It’s the MAN TRAIN. It may go off the rails. First off, let me note that, even without the obvious feathered embellishments and scarring ... I look absolutely nothing like the picture above. Well, I do have arms, legs, head, eyes.. and all the requisite anatomical parts that define the basic biological make up of the human male. All of which still function properly. 👍 That is almost where it ends. I am 60, a bit overweight, 5’6” tall, and no person’s definition of a … “hunk.” My beloved wife & soulmate, however, just said to me, “To me, you are my hunk.”

The Day I Told My Dad I Hated Him
