My biological father was a wife beating asshole, my brother and I actually conspired to beat him to death if he ever layed a hand on our mother again.
We had the baseball bats ready to go when MOM told us to get in the car, we left and never went back!
Four years later MOM met, and with our consent married Jake, our step father.
JAKE was my FATHER, and taught me what being a real MAN and a potential FATHER was supposed to be.
ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN GONE MANY YEARS; THANKS DAD, and HAPPY FATHERS DAY.
JAKE I. S*****, my FATHER and my HERO!
Today I wished all the fathers a Happy Oppressive Patriarchy Day. I see myself having a future in academia.
