One of the great mysteries of the World. Figuring out what kind of parents/ guardians you have, if any! I am thankful for my parents and how they’ve raised us. No two parents/ guardians are the same and it’s helpful to make the most of a relationship than to have unrealistic expectations. Example: I don’t expect my dad to quit smoking and drinking and be social with family and friends going out at times, but I know that we can share some good meals at home, throw the balls with the dogs when he has a smoke to get mini social time, and listen/ support him when he’s ready to talk. It’s tough at times but I do my best to maximize the relationship with him in this one Life❤️ If one or more parents/ guardians are excessive with controlling time, energy, mental and emotional state, it’s an option to limit time together or cut ties altogether. Stand up for Your Best Life and keep what’s in alignment with good aspects of Life, discard what’s bad. 1 LUV ❤️

Wow, that is very profound. Such a unique perspective but also I feel like it in a way gives some insight to how messed up Sean’s childhood and dad were because to feel like you’re putting something out of its misery I feel like you have to believe the pain outweighs any joy and to believe that would mean there is no hope, which is such a heavy thought.

I used to hate my dad back then for the same reasons. There was nothing he would do that was normal in society. Everything is excessive. He wasnt the father that does dad things to his children like other kids get from their dad. My hatred towards him came to the point that I wished someone would kill him. Little did I know that he was hurting from inside the whole long years of being that kind of person. He didnt want to be that way but the lack of real love and affection he felt from his own parents caused him to become an extremely problematic person. By the time we reached adult age, we slowly understood his situation and we gave him every help he needed until he got to know God. From that time on, he constantly made efforts to bury his negative habits. Fast forward, as Im writing this comment, I firmly believe me and my siblings have the best dad anyone could ask for. I learned that the people that really need help the most are the bad people they just don't know how to communicate it to the people around them.

Guys My brother and his wife (not a good person at all) took care of abused girls. I think it was 6 at a time. My brother did this work to pease his wife (not the point). I was a teenager and it really messed with my head to hear the stories what these little girls went through. Some were from incest and then sexual abused their parents. Some were unbelievably violent, others were preteens with crazy sex drives. Was so strange because I was in my teens dealing with my hormones and remember 2 girls attacking me in the pool. I got out and remember one pulling down my pants and the other putting her hands down my swim shorts. I could not continue in taking advantage of them, I did the right thing because I knew it was not normal. I do not look down on them, I ended up finding out just how Evil life could be for me personally. My sons just can not understand the stories I tell them. They just see my anger from my frustration that it just soo big and I and soo small. Abuse to children is awful.

(In general) I don't fuck with him for some general ''statements'' he made, but the fact that he strives for change and improving his own self t's something that i respect a lot, and honestly...That's the fuckin' hardest thing (even in general), to change for the better..Because for the worse, damn, that's easiest damn thing you'd ever be able to do (even easier than pissin') This guy's something rare, something that a lot of guys in similar situations should takes notes from.

Hey man, i can relate. But what i've come to understand is sometimes ppl just give up in life because of the pain they've had to go thru. Thats what it sounded like your father was doing. I feel like every parent knows if they'll be a good parent and role model or not, and some must know that they wont be...but society literally pressures ppl into having kids by a certain age or they are made to be looked at as outcasts or failures. That doesn't help either. If society was more accepting of the fact that having kids isnt for everyone, the world would be a better place. But just know that your dad had his struggles that made him the way that he was. Try to forgive him.
