    I cut my father out of my life just about 20 years ago. He was a selfish alcoholic, drug abuser (I like to have fun like anyone else, but I’m not about pawn my kid’s PlayStation when I don’t have the money to get the goods like my former father did), malingerer and overall shitty dad.

    It took years not to let the traits I inherited from him hold me back and/or hurt others, but I can say I’m pretty fucking successful now; I have a dream job, dream home and will be marrying the love of my life next month.

    Everything I have now is in spite of him and my shitty upbringing.
