EMSKR: if you no longer live with him, do you consider yourself smarter than your dad? Why or why not? How old were you when you started to believe you were smarter & wiser than him?
I'm a lot older now. I've had a lot of time to think about things my dad did...decisions he made, etc. I didn't know it then. But now that I have real-world experience I think my dad was a giant dumbass. I honestly don't know how I even turned out being able to hold down a job and support myself. Everybody tells me I am nothing like him. My mom says she takes credit for me being nothing like him. How do you grow up and be nothing like your father?
