They often did the best they could for you with the knowledge they had for you at the time
Like Staind said:
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
My parents both had their faults, but at least they were loving and supportive. I've met so many people whose parents weren't, that I've learned to let any resentment go and just be grateful for how good they actually were.
Rest in peace, dad.
@Saltycroc welcome to post-Sexual Revolution soyciety.
I was saying the same thing in the late 90s and early 00s.
My advice is to do what I did: adjust your expectations to get them in line with reality, and go smash some poon.
Why is every single girl i meet a whore?
Im not even joking, there isn't even any exceptions. Its literally every girl i meet, as i get to know them more they just turn out to be a slut.
Im not trying to seem butt hurt or like i am insulting girls like a loser who doesn't get any, but seriously its every single one i meet.
I've nothing to forgive. Plenty I could criticize were I so inclined,a few I'd change if I could. But it ain't the Old Man's fault the world has passed him by and invalidated a lot of the wisdom he was taught as a kid.
Mine has been gone 17 years.
He wasn't close, I chalk it up to his being tossed out of his home when he was 13 years old, which would have been 1941ish.
I don't know much about his story during those years, I do know he was self-reliant and everything I learned from him was more through osmosis than being given hands-on instruction.
He was selfless and spent his days helping others.
I'm grateful for having him as a Father and I still miss him.
If you guys haven't forgiven your fathers yet do so, at least mentally
They often did the best they could for you with the knowledge they had for you at the time
@polishknight he's in India, if memory serves
No Costco for him, or likely any of those other brands you mentioned
Also Blue Collar, and retired.
I had a co-worker that transferred to a different department, who absolutely shamed the Company for one of the "Look How Wonderful We Are" series of pictures used as screensavers on our computers.
It showed a young Woman, resplendent in her pristine coveralls and hard hat, at the edge of a body of water, on one knee, foot just touching the water and examining a plant growing there.
She pointed out that their Standards/Policies/Procedures said that being within 25' of a body of water without wearing a PFD was a fireable offense.
