Gosh Lisa this is powerful and goes deep. If it is autobiographical, as I suspect it is, it must have cost a lot to put it down in writing and share it. It is striking that it is posted so close to Rachel McGladdery's Lucy which is all about the loving parenting we should all have a right to expect. The two works are like light and dark - the two sides of parenting.
I hope you can work through the issues. A dear friend had a father like yours and couldn't - a long and sad story - but it sounds like you are doing better at coming to terms with it than he did
