I guess being a dad was all part of a fad. 

Dads don’t only play and change diapers.

What happens when they are teenagers?

You check out?

You don’t have any responsibility?

Why is that? because they are older.

because they don’t need you.

because you don’t feel like it anymore. 

 


21 years later your marriage falls down the shute and its still not your fault.

it’s never your fault.

because you have daddy issues, 

just like me. 

Your dad bullied you,

And your way of coping is ignoring your own kids.

Daddy issues are a genetic trait I guess.

Actually, the inability to be a Dad runs in the family. 

I have no part in this except I suffer because your actions. 

because this,

because that,

because he,

because they,

because YOU. 

No excuse. 

No way out.
