Birth father: Don't know much. Don't even know where he is--he literally moved and didn't tell me where. I never lived with him. After he and my mom split up when I was one, I saw him maybe 10 times after that. Didn't pay child support. Was a part-time musician. Don't know what he did for a day job. Lived with his mom when he wasn't married to any of his wives. My mom and he were HS sweethearts.
Adopted father (married my mom, legally adopted me @ age 5):
Cons - Dominating. Controlling. Horrifying temper. Emotionally abusive. Suicidal. Addictive personality.
Pros - Incredibly hard worker. Decent manager. Good cook.
I don't plan to have children, and have been successful at that goal. I guess I'd like to pass on his work ethic to future generations of others, for the most part.
