I was adopted when I was 6 weeks old. My dad is from a Ukrainian/Canadian farm family, so I was always smaller than everyone else. The old man always insisted that I get an education, and I was the first person in the family to convocate from university, much less graduate from high school. Most of my relatives are boilermakers, and when I was going through university, I did concrete work with my dad. He's told lots of folks that I was the best worker he ever had. I'm 37, and every decision I've made in my life was wrong, according to him, from where I was going to work (I'm a teacher), to which place I was going to rent. My wife and I have 3 sons, and he told us that we should abort each one, because we weren't ready for them. How do I deal with this man? I love him and respect him, but all I ever get from him is negativity!
