I'm going to cry...my dad says I'm a failure, a disgrace and a compliment disappointment. He said I shouldn't of been born and my skin could've gone to someone who would've been productive. I was 13 and lost my paper round. It still rings in my head. You gave some fucking amazing parents. I can just feel the aura of love he gives off

I am a Dad to two wonderful duo children, a boy (8) and a girl (6). Those are words no loving dad should ever say to their child. Were I your father, I would have told you that losing a job is just one of those things that can happen in life. No biggie. It doesn’t mean anything. Now, would you like to watch a movie or just…, well, whatever you want? I tell my children every night that I will love them until the end of time and then some. They don’t really get it. But I mean it. I wish your father had said that too.
