I grew up in an abusive home and was told on a daily basis by my father that I would never amount to anything and that I looked like a boy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always saw myself as really ugly. My father even told me I was ugly because I would shave my head and look like a boy.
I look like my mother but behave like my father.
I look a lot like my father when he was my age.
My father is an intellectual and physical man, which is a rather unusual combination. He's great. As he brought up me and my brothers and sisters, he ingrained in us that your appearance is not your responsibility, other than that you should not be a slob.
My parents broke up when I was six. Before, I was a very active, naughty child, but after my father left me, I stopped talking. I became very good at hiding my emotions. I felt so ashamed of telling others that I didn't have a father, because that was not common in the 1960s.
My dad used to say to me, 'You look more like me than I do.'
My father was a mean, controlling and manipulative person for most of his life. He was unpredictable and unstable.
When I was a kid, I thought my dad was a little bit harsh with me at times. Sometimes I needed an arm around me instead of my dad telling me what I did wrong, but it obviously worked.
When I grew up, people said, 'You'll never be the man your dad was.' And I said, 'Gee, I hope not.'
People say I look like my father. My son is very much like him.
