Story I possibly wrote what some may have taken as a misogynistic thread the other day

But you are young right? You can try to eliminate your Dad's influences knowing that he wasn't worth listening to.

Yeah, I'm 29. Problem is, any energy I had left to change my life left me years ago. I tried with what little I had, but things just weren't happening so I gave up. My dad is pretty much a narcissist who always shifts the blame onto someone else. I'm sure that when I'm dead, he will blame my mom, like he has been doing ever since I can remember. I've forgiven him anyway.

Yes.

Substandard fathers are a very common problem in our world, and the trouble they cause is immeasurable. Mine basically used me for revenge for the fact that he was bullied as a boy. After various phases of rage, I eventually learned to get over it by realising that he's just a product of his own substandard parents/schooling and has nothing of value to offer. It sounds harsh, but in my case, I needed to permanently discard him like a piece of garbage in the trash.

The next step is to find understanding and support that is tailored to your situation. There is a book called No More Mr. Nice Guy which I can't recommend highly enough. You'll need male role models and will be working through what was suppressed in childhood. It isn't a miracle, it's real work, but the results will transform you.

Hold out 1 more year and the powers of magic will be upon you.

I've been with a prostitute before. Even the powers of magic have been denied me by my own paw :(
