yes my father was around... but I did a lot of pursuits on my own... played golf... ski racing.
but he is a narcissist who lives life as if the world revolves around him... sound familiar?
he was fairly emotionally detatched. i knew he loved me, and we did do a lot of things together... but I'm not sure there was a lot of overt love...
fig-- i do not necessarily want this career. but now it is the only thing I know how to do and the only thing I can do right now to pay the bills... and we have many.
I only wanted to have a family... I wanted my wife... but I had a hard time balancing all of that while I trained to do this thing
i went to a boarding school for ski racers when I was 13...
