Christina Dominguez Yes, my dad stayed away “for me” as a young teenager, because he was using, and it backfired. I ended up looking to older men for attention, and ended up getting turned out. At the same time I know people who have smoked crack or meth with their parents since they were 13, so I can see why people think they should stay away, too.

I disagree. He ruined his life, his marriage, and potentially his relationship with his sister in the process. He had more than enough evidence to get that guy put away for longer then the time he himself did, and the other prisoners would of taken care of that guy in prison. His relationship with his sister would have possibly been better, and he would certainly probably still be married and had a few kids and a good job

I have never watched someone speak to a large audience and give me the sensation they were speaking specifically to me. It was truly a life-changing experience to have someone so different from myself speak directly to the deepest parts of my consciousness. I have also never felt this level of compassion for a person convicted of a violent crime, he has opened my eyes to the grey areas of my moral compass.

Opiates though, totally different story ... When you're addicted, you don't "get high" anymore. You're just constantly looking to "get well" and feel normal. The fear of withdrawal controls every aspect of your life. Picture if you had an oxygen tank, and that was the only way you could breath. You'd be completely consumed with keeping air in the tank 24/7, and you'd sell your soul to get it if you had to. Opiates pretty much the same thing.

Just be honest with your daughter, tell her your story; so no one else does. My father passed away when I was thirteen, and now at thirty, I’m finding out that everything I thought my father was, he is not. It may not all be true, but i will never know. Talk to her, she may shut you out, but keep trying. You can’t rewrite your past,; However, you can make an amazing conclusion. Tell her the bad, the good, the ugly and the pretty. I found myself with a man just like my father; smh, or at least what I thought he was. I didn’t know the warnings; but if he had been honest with me, even at thirteen, maybe life would be different. I am now in a great career, and life is good from what it was. Talk to her, this is coming from a daughter to a father. Drugs, jail, and all the messed up things in between, my dad did that, and you know what? I still love him; I just wish he was honest with me, no matter how much it hurt him, because now I’m the one lost,hurt , and left to pick up the pieces of his past; so that I can understand my present.

Later after he passed I put two and two together about a story of his and asked my aunt...my father in a fit of rage beat his pregnant wife before my mother and killed his unborn child. It messed him up for the rest of his life. He never could forgive himself enough to live a healthy life and he missed so much with me because he was afraid to hurt me.

There have been times where I didn't talk to my dad years at a time and the only thing I wished for was for my dad to call or come see me. I chose not to call him because I didn't want to interfere with his new life with his wife but all I wanted was for my dad to be around. His daughter can be feeling the same way and there's probably confused as to why he's not around. I wish Tony all the best and hope his relationship with his daughters work out.
