Thanks Sifu Leung for this message board. I need to relay a message to my Dad. I was asked/told to rate my Dad... i guess in his preformance as a Father. This is tough but the truth is the truth. I give him a 9. He did his job, he had to. I am sure he didnt want to do some of the things he did, but he had to. Having not been the greatest Son it is hard to say that he was a good Dad. It is hard to talk about this with everyone watching, especially when I did not ask for all this attention. I hope that I never have to teach anyone the same way he taught me.... it has taken YEARS to understand what he was saying YEARS ago. Just because he said it to me doesnt mean I understood what he meant. Best of all I now realize he didnt have to say what he said. He chose to. He may be a friendly dragon but he brought me into a world I did not want to see, and I think he knows this. Little did I know I was already in it the whole time. Having been psychologically crushed by the brickbuilders I still state that the world they tried to make me a hostage in is a lie. Putting the last 6.5 years of my life together and realizing the situation I was in, my Dad knew I was getting screwed but all he could do was watch... I wonder what the whole thing looked like to him. Lastly i would like him to know that I would like to talk to him but not at his house or mine... maybe Church is a good middle ground... maybe not.
Thanks again Sifu Leung for the message board!
