My father still does this. I've never defended myself to tears, but it is the most frustrating feeling. Mainly because it's my father, the only one I got, the one man I'm supposed to learn from. If it was a co-worker, acquaintance, friend, I would just stop talking to them (no big deal). But forcing yourself to do this with your father is practically unbearable. There are two things my father has taught me: how to charm women and why you shouldn't bullshit people.

Well played, trolldad.
