Fathers and such

Well you can tell the album is finished and most of the summer festivals are over, because I am writing so often.

I wanted you guys to send me stories and comments about fathers.

No I have never been a parent, I think I am still too young, but some of you who are younger than me, have babies out there.

My father was great when I was a pre teen, but it seemed like as he was getting older (i could be wrong) he started acting strange. He started to yell at and beat my mother, he started to physically abuse me, and sexually abused my two sisters. Basically we all took it as long as we could and then fought him collectively and independently situation by situation.
My dad played guitar and sang nightly after he would leave work, my family was in the steel business, but music was his obvious passion. He could never take the time to try and make it in music because he had a steel plant to run, and 3 small kids to raise, a home, a wife and all the trimmings.
My father is handsome and physically built like a stone, he is strong, intelligent and women love him......but he does not seem to be a rational thinker.....his actions seem reactionary to something the rest of us do not see, he seems to be on the defense as he is offending everyone in the room.
He now lives alone and I go see him every couple of years, stay only a few hours, tell him I love him and go away......................and i do not know why.

Feel free to write and comment:
