From a purely ethnological point of view, I was not a period-born Dada.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't think I was all that late in becoming a father.
Fatherhood didn't change me in the beginning very much.
Fatherhood is a very natural thing; it's not something that shakes up my life but rather it enriches it.
I wasn't against becoming a dad: I'd had a good childhood, as childhoods go, and as role models, my imperfect parents were as good as or better than most.
My father really was not the dominant person who raised the family, it was my mother who raised the family.
I was raised by my father; I was daddy's girl.
My only model for being a father was my father, an illiterate on the margin of society.
I can't say I had an ideal father, and I'm not a father myself.
At my age you don't go into fatherhood lightly.
Fatherlessness didn't strike me as being an event. It was a state of life.
