No. 1. My dad, to everyone outside the family, was this super guy. Everyone loves, wants to do things for, etc. As to the family, he was an a-hole. Always found fault in everything you did (son, why didn't you swing at the first pitch, it was perfect, instead you struck out on crap pitches). Oh I could go on and on.
No. 2. Nothing. I want/am starting over with my own perspective. If I do or say anything my father said/would have said, my wife yells at me. I'm trying to be everything he wasn't to me.
He's now 85, declining in health, and our relationship has done the same. When I was not working (sales job that was stupid), he told me I was a loser that couldn't take care of his own family.
I'll stop, there's sooooo much more I could tell you.
