Just wanted to say my father, too, was very, very well respected amongst the community too, with poor fathering skills behind the smile/doctor's touch. This hurts. It makes you angry to hear all the good things about him, angry the truth has not come out, and angry you hold the key to that disarming info.

I was treated terribly compared to my brother, I was the only one with an illness in the family, it skipped a generation.

I was made to feel inferior, just because I was so real and genuine and loving as opposed to cut off, snobby, and plain arrogant and rude.

It helps me to hear the same childhood story,,,it is rare on this website,,most are from backgrounds different..

Thank you
