Will you be my dad?

emshae,

I can truly sympathize with what you are going through. I am an only child as well. My step father was verbally absuive toward me and physically and verbally abusive to my mother. It was not an ideal way to grow up. I found that focusing on studies and after school extra curricular activites was a good way to focus my energies. FOr the most part I tried to stay out of sight of my step father that his impacts on me were minimal. I got a job at 18 and moved out of the house shortly thereafter. He died about 15 years ago, so thankfully he is no longer even a consideration in my life. I paid for my college education using a federal pell grant, and after that a tuition reimbursement program my work had. Now I have a great job, and own my home. I think any parent would be quite proud of that.

I wish you luck. In the meantime, this is a great place to hang out with father figures and bother figures.

bother figure...

now there is a position i might could handle.

part time, of course.

All us fathers are darn proud of you and everything you have achieved mm.

emshae you are a fine young woman. You dont need to make anyone but yourself proud.

dp, I think you'd make some young wallaby a fine dad. really i do...


(please allow someone else handle the geography, however)

a bother figure huh? Is that where you attempt to annoy me? Won't work. I don't get easily annoyed.

awww..... thanks dadpad!
