Cali my dear! Well, first of all, I feel for ya sweetheart. Second of all, my advice could swing a couple of different ways. It sort of depends on how old you are. I mean if your old enough to be on your own, I would suggest that. I guess the main concern, no matter how old you are, you don't want this deal to run your life anymore. It's a difficult situation. I may sound harsh, and it's certainly easier said than done, but you need to get over it. It's a black and white issue. There's no gray area. You either let it run your life, or you don't. I was raped when I was a kid. I have no problem telling anyone that. Do you know why? Because you feel a little bit better now than you did 2 minutes ago. You're not alone, and you know I know how you feel. That makes ME feel good. If my experience can ease someone else's discomfort, then I'm all about sharing my experience. Trust me darlin. You are so far from being alone it's not even funny. There's a lot of sick people in the world, and you got hooked up with one of them. That's the thing though. He's just sick. Don't hate the man, hate the sickness. Don't really even hate the sickness, because hate will get you no where. Let me tell you a little something about resentment. Having a resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. You have a resentment against your old man, and it's destroying you. It ain't hurting him any. If I were there, I'd give ya a big hug and tell you everything's gonna be ok. Someday, someones gonna be in a lot of pain, and you're gonna be there to give them a big hug and tell them it's gonna be ok. They're gonna know your telling the truth, because they will know you've been there. They will know in their heart that you understand, and their gonna feel a little bit better because they are not alone. You're gonna dig it when it happens, trust me. You've had a bit of darkness in your life, and having that experience is just gonna make the experience of the light THAT much brighter! Do what you have to do in order to separate yourself from your dad, but you gotta get rid of the hate or it'll put your life on hold longer than it already has. Best of luck to ya sweetheart! God Love Ya!!! Dave
