FHN,
I have always been a happy dad.........but back then I was hurting.
Today.........I'm very happy that I left that puss infected cesspool of hurt.
God..........am I pissed tonight! I never thought that a few threads could stir up shiite that I thought was gone forever.
Goes to show............some scars never heal.

Awww, (((((((((HDad)))))))))))), sometimes we need to let ourselves feel, just feel those emotions. I understand, once I got into my 40's, I had to cry over a lot of things that happened in my childhood and beyond. It was very healing though. I literally cried. It was the first time I could.

Yep. As a rebellious teenager, often the only way I could get through the meeting was to have smoked up before-hand.
So here's a funny one. I used to store my dope (rolled up joints) in a Sucrets tin (for those who don't remember Sucrets, they were a throat lozenge that came in a sort of Altoids-like tin; like Altoids, they had a very strong smell). I stored the joints in the bottom, put the wax paper over them, and the second layer was Sucrets.
I can remember sitting in meetings between my mother and grandmother and passing Sucrets to them, with joints right underneath! And they had no idea what I was doing...I just seemed like such a mellow, happy kid.

Delilah, if I saw someone drunk at their own baptism, I'd laugh my ass off!

I wasn't drunk, Min, but I was SURE not feeling any pain..... After the deed was done, I got the biggest headache I ever had.....I'm sure it was the devil telling me I'd angered him?! hahaha
