Farkel,
I am with OTWO on this one. Keep writing, even if you do not share it on this board. It is cathartic to write your experiences. I definitely received my share of abuse from obtuse people for putting myself out there in the past. I, for one, would love to hear the rest of your story. It parallels mine, except inverted. My father was the bastard, instead of the other way around.
I will give you a challenge, I will show you mine, if you show me yours. I will write the true and unabridged story of my life in the JW's here, if you have the courage to continue yours.
JRK (the former JK666)
P.S. I am less than a decade younger than you, and show you all due respect.
