...wow...This is a powerful story.

Oh my God, that was *me*. My father's always been an abusive ass, unable to take the blame for things he's done wrong, constantly hiding things from me, and attributing all of my flaws to my mother. He pretends to love me, but he doesn't. You captured everything so perfectly. I can only hope I have Carlie's strength when my own time to confront my father comes. This was great. Rock on, sweetie.
