I wish I'd been able to have a relationship with my daddy. He passed 6 days before my 6th bday. I have no memories of him myself. Just stories I've heard from others and the morning after he passed and finding out what happened. I grew up with only my Mama and 3 younger siblings. So by wanted to take on 4 kids that weren't his especially with the youngest being special needs. Sadly it tracked for the rest of my life. My 3 oldest rarely see their dad, the youngest of which hasn't seen his dad in probably 8+ yrs because of history. Youngest dad chose drugs and alcohol over us. My last ex took on my 4 and gave me 3 bonus kids but he was useless as a father as well. My taste in men is seriously shitty and I wonder if it's because I never had a roll model for what a guy/dad should be like or if I just have serious judgement impairments. I greatly enjoyed your remembering of your father and am glad you got make and retain memories with him 🥰 cheers from Canada
Heyas Clint, I'm glad you had a more complete relationship with your dad than I had with mine. My father was a good provider, he had to be, my mum made sure of that as mum was the home maker. However it wasn't a close or loving relationship and I never worked out what the relationship was ment to be like. No obvious mentoring from him. He died fairly young and so it came to pass I never got to ask/question him about life and stuff. Sadly I can speculate, but never know, his thoughts/fears, and I guess that's my legacy too, shutting people out, the comfort of an Ivory Tower. Cheers from a deeply philosophical DougT 🇫🇴🇬🇧
Thanks Clint, Harvey, Neil, and Simon Callow. Callow has a video about Orson Welles and the theater that is really good.
Very cool. I’ll keep an eye out for it. Cheers, Steve!
