 BF> [chuckle]  I have to comment... ain't we a grand group?   My 
 BF> father was a drunk who deserted my Mother and I when I was 7,

I wonder if we took the general population if we would get the
same frequency of parental horror stories. I have seen excellent
families, but they're not by any means universal, and they often
had really ugly stories a generation or two before. My own
parents had their soft spots and might have been fine if they'd
married other, more secure, more understanding partners. But
then my situation would be even more bizarre, as I'd be split
in two myself. Plus, who knows if I'd have had a sister, who in
this universe turned out to be a remarkable and wonderful person.

 BF> Have to admit I had it soft though...I don't remember any 
 BF> putting down from him, or abuse of any kind.  He just disappeared.
 BF> Never saw or heard from him while I was growing up.
 BF> Listening to you guys I guess I was lucky.  [g]

Absence hurts as well. There are those who say that any kind
of attention is better than no attention. I'm not sure which
I'd have preferred. Did you know that my father's father ran
off and abandoned his family, starting another one that we
didn't know anything about until maybe five years ago?

 BF> He showed up one night at the house when I was in college.  
 BF> When he told me who he was I opened the door in a threatening 
 BF> manner and he ran away.   
 BF> It took me many years to decide that I really hadn't done an awful
 BF> thing.   He had it coming.

You hadn't done an awful thing. Though you might have hurt
him doing so, nonetheless, that was really bad timing on
his part. If he'd waited until you were settled and an
adult on your feet, maybe you could have had the strength
to forgive, but a college kid, with the pain still fresh?
No way.
