I have a lot of friends with issues with their dads. Mainly because they drink too much, or they treat their mothers badly. We have a couple of friends who don’t even know their dads. And someone very close to me was molested by his father. When I found out I wanted to take a brick to his dad’s head and instead opted for the windshield of his car. I have no respect for parents that hurt their kids. Its true there’s no handbook on raising kids. But they could at least take the effort!

I love my dad. He gave me my love for non mainstream music. He got me interested in cars, tattoos and stick airplanes. And helped me along when I got into computers. He taught me to skate and that I’m equal to any man, and that no one can put me down, just for being a woman. We get on well. He makes me laugh, a lot. I've always been on good terms with my dad. And he's helped me through some tough times with my mom. I used to be really angry at him for not helping me, when he knew what was going on. But I know that he couldn’t. If I’m ever stressed or there's something on my mind he starts the conversations off. It hurt me to see how my cutting affected him. And it was part of the reason I had to stop.
I’m moving out soon and I don’t wana disappoint my dad. So I can’t tell him. THAT bothers me.
