slipknotpsycho, i'm really sorry to hear about this. i want to tell you that you're dad's a coward, but you already know that.

men like him don't deserve respect until they've earned it, wether they're your father or grandfather.

my mum, sister and I left my father when i was 8 because of his addiction. i'm 20 now and he has yet to show his face. so i know what it's like to know theres some dude out there who claims to be a father when he's anything but. i feel so bad for you and your family, because not only is he a horrible father, but he seems like a horirble human being as well who had an involvement with the death of your brother.

i dunno how you feel about a man-hugs, but if you were a mate of mine who lived locally, i'd give you a hug.
