Our Father has as strong impulse control problems as us kids… despite being a genius computer designer (before software engineers even existed) he Bailed. I cannot blame him for leaving, but I DO blame him for not at least spending some summers with us.

Yes, I turned out fairly good, but that came from genius genes on both sides AND it took me nearly twenty years and 4 tours in the military to finaly realize the things that I should have been taught by a father.

Heck, if I hadn't grown up addicted to Heinlein Juveniles as my 'father figure' surrogate I would be in jail right now… Not probably, but almost CERTAINLY as I have strong impulse control problems and only learning from the right books and eventually Military structure enabled me to learn the willpower that a father would have instilled.
