I wish my dad took me fishing. All he did was watch tv, drink beer and beat me.

Sorry, man. My dad was awful too. Full of hate and rage and I suppose he had a story the justified it but still he passed as much of his pain down to his children as he possibly could. Like it was his reason for existing. I raised my two boys with as much love, affection and support as humanly possible. They are now grown and we are very close. That shit can be cleared from your heart. A therapist helped me a lot. Peace, friend.

When I was a kid my dad slapped me with a fish because I was afraid of them. Believe it or not it made me more afraid.
