Father’s Day was not a good day for me.

Memories of my own Father were not good.

He was an abusive drunk throughout my childhood.

As far as my own Fathering experience

I was a Father for fourteen years

to three step-children no one wanted.

I raised these three children thru

four and five years in college educations

for two of them while the other

was a total lost with his brain fried by drugs.

The Fathers’ of these three children

basically abandoned them as young children.

There was no child support from their two Fathers.

When I divorced their Mother

the three gave me the finger.

Taking on raising step-children

was a joyless job.

To the children of other friends

that I gave unselfishly my time and money.
