Had my Pops continued to work a steady job and not rely on his wife to pay the lion's share of the bills, I'd prolly be a bit farther on with my secondary education, but he got real comfortable in being supported, which in turn turned off whatever drive a man is supposed to have to keep his family safe and provided for. Pushing to the side all the emotional shyt I had with him growing up as an ineffective disciplinarian who sought outrageous knee jerk punishments over ones that would have me atleast learn from whatever he felt I needed to be punished for, he wasn't that good a father and at times a person either.
The only pros I can say about the nikka is that he ain't get a chance to abuse us short of a few outrageous beatings and he was never immoral towards my sister, but that's shyt you ain't supposed to get points for, that's shyt you as a decent human being and father shouldn't even have on your record. I grew up alright off the strength of my Mom and her side of the family and interacting with my Aunts/Uncles on his side, pound for pound, my Dad's the weakest sibling since they ALL provided with their spouses to not only provide, but nurture whatever interests their kids had while putting things in place for them to succeed or at the very least, be taken care of via businesses/trades. Eh.
..fukk that muthafukka
