My stepfather was a very nasty individual.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My father was a mean, controlling and manipulative person for most of his life. He was unpredictable and unstable.
My father had a very violent temper, and he was never home. So I was kind of a mama's boy.
The reality is that my stepfather was like a father to me and watching him die from a sudden heart attack was one of the hardest things I have ever gone through.
He was a very strict father, which in a way has helped me to become who I am today. He never pampered me, as he wanted me to live a normal life. No film magazines were allowed at home, and we weren't allowed to watch any movies.
My father was a pedant and a bully who cared about nobody, and I was not to see him until I was eighteen.
My father was a very difficult man.
My dad was a great dad.
Now that I'm a parent, I understand why my father was in a bad mood a lot.
I never had that wicked stepmother or evil stepfather thing at all. I'm very close to both step-parents and I consider them to be my parents, too.
I don't think my father was a bad man, all in all.
