I stand by what I wrote, except some of the insults towards my Dad. I wasn't exactly, err, sober when I posted the OP. That's not an excuse: I wrote exactly the way I was feeling that night, and now that I'm back to "normal" mode, I've calmed down.
I don't have kids, but I can only imagine how terrible it would feel to be called a "retard" by one of them. So for that I feel bad. but it's not like I curse out or hurl insults to my Dad's face; I'm honest with him most times, but I do it respectfully. And yes, calling your father a Tard in front of a group of strangers is rude, but it's a forum: the whole point of posting in one is that you're given more leeway to express yourself than most times in real life.
Call me a dick, or a spoiled brat, whatever: I agree with you to a certain extent. But the situation is much more complicated than any of you, or even myself, know: I ain't my Father nor am I my Mother.
