If it will help....when I was your age Twinks...I had little respect for my Dad. He was Vice President of a very large corporation (Farm Bureau Insurance....which is quite influential in the US) and everytime I would go to a bar I ran into guys who worked for him. I thought they were all a bunch of horny a$$es. To make it worse, they told me stories about my Dad....which I knew were true because he ALWAYS had a long legged blonde he was screwing around with. It bothered me because my mother loved him so very much.
I even slept with one of his married co-workers. He came to be all mad about it and I told him I guess I turned out JUST LIKE HIM. We had a few rough years after that one.....HAHA.
But as he grew older and I understood myself and him a little better.....I realized I was VERY much like him and I loved him more than any man on this earth. And you know what.....I still do....every single day. Not a week goes by that he doesn't send me sweet emails or calls me.
The point is..... the weaknesses you may see in your Dad today...may very well be....the part of him you will most understand tomorrow. Give it time.
