 It's just that he was so insensitive. He never was wrong. At least, I never heard him admit that he was. I never heard him say, wow, son, that's not what I meant, or I can see how you could have thought I meant that. I longed for my dad to give me the benefit of the doubt just once. I was 18 years old and had just graduated from high school. I lived on a farm and had a lot of chores that were my responsibility.
