You're very courageous. I'm sorry for your painful experience. I think your dad is awesome. As a father of three girls I raised on my own, I can empathize with what his internal torment must have felt like. He definitely has a whole more restraint and impulse control than have! I have always looked to men like your dad to guide me in fatherhood. Give him a big thumbs-up from me! :-)
