That was one of the shows I watched when I was a child! I also watched, Leave it to Beaver, Ozzie and Harriet My Three Sons and other shows with a normal, healthy family lifestyle! I always wished my family was like that! My father was much older than my mom and we just didn't communicate! He lived in his world and I lived in mine! I had friends whose fathers were involved in their lives. I could tell the difference between their fathers and mine! Oh, I could tell you about his drinking and the few times I ran from him when he wanted to spank me with his belt or stick! My father died of heart problems in 1968 on my graduation day. I was only 18.

I hope you are coping well today. What you experienced growing up is the very definition of trauma.
