[QUOTE="Revvv, post: 16127140, member: 189537"] In all honesty, the best male role models I have are found in my father in law, and in his father that recently passed. A lot of times we place a barrier around ourselves. We set up boundaries and limitations based on early life experiences. Don't misunderstand me, our early childhood influences can, and do play a big role in who we are, but they cannot force us to become something we do not want to be. The life of your parents, grandparents, etc is not a path set in stone for you. Their mistakes are not your mistakes, and they are not your responsibility. You do not have to go through life reliving and paying for other people's choices. I did not grow up in the greatest of situations. Both parents were alcoholics, and my dad is still an addict and alcoholic to this day. My mom recently left my dad when she sobered up. She walked away from a 44 year marriage because she could finally see what everyone else saw daily. I just deleted about 10 paragraphs about my life as a child. I decided to keep those things to myself for a while. What I will say is that things were not about family. That aspect was left out. I never truly knew what family meant until I met the woman that has been my wife for the past 22 years. Her family became my own. I have made a lot of mistakes in my own life. I have regrets. I look back and see where I failed and where I hurt my little family. It isn't easy to reshape what you have molded over the course of many years, but it can be done. You are in control of your choices. You are in control of your personal legacy. Let integrity shape your life, and you will see things you have missed.
