Slick, bless you for starting this thread. I hope that it helps everyone - at whatever age you are.

Let me give you a different spin here.............I lost my Mother when I was ten months old. So essentially, I never had a Mother to yell at me - or for me to buck.

I would GIVE ANYTHING to have had the experience of having a Mother. Kinda makes you think doesn't it?

Wolfsoul, I am so sorry that you had this recent experience with your Father. I can understand how this must have hurt you. Your poor Father..........he doesn't have a clue what he is missing in having a loving daughter. I wish that he could read this thread.

I lost a wonderful Father years ago..............he had to do double duty as Mom and Dad for me.
