[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 94192, member: 1514"] Well I think I have told my story on here before but here goes. My mom would have enabled me into homelessness, drug addiction and an early grave. She lived to see me in that shape. It made her feel better than me. My father on the other hand put his foot down and tough loved me. The divorced when I was 18 by the way. He shut the door on me and told me that when I wasnt acting the fool he would be more than happy to deal with me again. Now he did come see my first son in the hospital, and he took him out from time to time to make sure he had things, but I never got one red cent. Then when I turned my life around...and showed him I had turned my life around...he was there for me in my corner cheering all the way. I dont go to him often but if there is an emergency, he is there. If a kid wanted to go to summer camp and we really couldnt afford it and had to say no, Papa came through. If my washer broke down and I was going to have to go to the laundry mat for awhile, Papa came through. Now we always paid him back but those checks mysteriously got sent back in the mail...lol.
