Father and son never saw eye to eye, too much jealousy on the patriarch side
He constantly put his son down for everything he did, competing incessantly
One day the son had enough and walked away, there was nothing else to do
Father and son reunion
you can't peel an onion
without crying a few tears
Ten long years passed with neither one saying a word to each other.
Then one day he found a loving woman who opened his heart, he forgave.
They re-connected only to find out his father had left him out of the will
Anger is a monster
wearing a holster
with a loaded gun
Abuse kept creeping in just like the old days. Verbal abuse returned
Then the day came when Father got sick and he drove him to the hospital
Son tried to make amends and tell his dad he loved him, he was rebuked
Death can devour ego
and teach you to let go
or pride can win
"Get out" he screamed to his son at his death bed. Adam was left, broken.
It takes years to come to terms with abuse, He died November last year
An empath at heart he cries at the drop of a hat. Most gentle man I ever met
I should know, he is my future son in law and I am proud of him.
