i did. it's disheartening, to say the least - not because people are looking at reject in a different light, necessarily but because it highlights the reason why, for example, a defense attorney encourages a murderer to shave, cut his hair and take a shower before his day in court. physical appearances and aesthetics really do make a difference.

Because seeing them happy makes you happy ... and that is why you are a great dad.

i do put my family first in most respects but i'll tell you - i've always harbored a vision of where i would be in life at a certain point. of late, i've had to re-evaluate my aspirations and belief of how and where i intended to live life.
no matter. time to clench my jaw and close my eyes. maybe later, after the kids grow....

i'm glad you reacted the way i believed you would. if you'd felt any differently, it would have confused me about the person i've come to believe you are.
and to be clear - i harbor no ill will toward reject. i don't agree with the way he sees the certain things in the world but that's his business, not mine.
