Many Saturday mornings of my childhood found me watching in awe as he pretend-conducted orchestras while completely lost in a piece. Volume all the way up!
I remember in the late 70s/early 80s, sitting with him and my sister on her bedroom floor, headphones on my dad, and playing Night at the Opera for him. He was floored - by the composition, the variety of music, the layers, that VOICE, all of it. We did the same with Led Zep IV and Houses of the Holy. And the Martin-produced era of the Beatles.
It was so cool to introduce him to "our" music as he did with his. It is now part of meAnd yes, what they passed on to us, stays. We are our fathers daughters
I must be doing something wrong.

So I asked her if she'd like some help.
Her answer: "Just stop talking."
Sometimes, I wish you could still slap the ever-loving shit out of them.

Yeah, the relationship evolves, just as your girl. Not always easy.
Your other thread got me thinking a lot about my own relationship with my father - the good and the bad (thankfully, never ugly).0 -

I never wanted to be responsible for anyone but myself, and even that's incredibly difficult.

Their mom will probably try to keep them close forever; but the entire family knows that I'm splitting town the moment the boy graduates high school. And, of course, they are welcome to visit anytime.
I remind them of this every once in a while so that it's not a shock when I start packing my things when the time comes.

My daughter is a twat to everyone right now, not just me. In fact, I think she's twattier to everyone else.
Anyway, she's been in therapy since 6; she'll be better off than anyone.Post edited by dankind onI SAW PEARL JAM0 -
