Today is Father's Day. My dad died a long time ago and he wasn't much of a father when he was alive. He was abusive, demeaning, and constantly eroding my self-esteem. We were estranged when he died. It left me with a lot of mixed emotions but as time has worn on, I have come to realize how critical his poor parenting was in my own stunted development. When you do not have role models to look up to, when the people who are supposed to love, support, and protect you do not do those things, it is very hard to develop into a properly functioning adult. So, thanks dad!
