And this douchebag was a pastor! I can't remember a what age, but my mother commented "I don't know what girl would want you. You're not even good-looking."

Somehow, I knew that comment was about how much she love-hated my father for leaving her in favor of a younger woman.

And I recall thinking "Yeah! But you're boring and pretentious. I'm fun and have soul."

Obviously, I was much more like my father than my mother - which was part of the problem.

Anyway - I survived. Still, I'd like to punch your uncle in the nose for you.
