My Father Was Horrible

It's been troubling on my mind lately, and I just wanted to say it somewhere. My relationship with my father has always been.. difficult. Especially so growing up and regarding some of my friends. My father always had this thing for being a worthless and faithless cheat of a husband and drunk, which on its own that would have been bad enough, but what made him horrible is he didn't stop there, he constantly would go after neither mine or my older brother's female friends. It didn't matter if we were trying to date them, or how old they were.

For what I know, one of brother's ex's was getting money from him while they were dating, but I wouldn't know much more. And then there was a mutual friend we treated like a middle sister who worked as his secretary for a bit before she abruptly quit, but I do know his next secretary he was having an affair with. And not to even get into all the various mistresses or prostitutes that at least I know of..

Meanwhile I know a few of my friends have been targets themselves.. with some actually going through with it. My bff told me a couple times in High School when my father would drive her back home he would try to make an advance, but she kept turning him down, even if she wasn't gay. Unlike the friend I took to a school dance once, who grew up struggling and found it too hard to turn down the money the one time.. I know of at least two others that confirmed when I fished around that confirmed my suspicion my father was flirting or made advances on them, to nothing happening there at least. Though I have a deep suspicion there was one other, the girl I eventually took to prom, twice. Same scenarios like the others, so not only would be surprised had it occurred, but also explains why I haven't heard anything.. or all the times she would have been alone with him. But I have my suspicion it wasn't a one off event... And it's really hard to distance or shelter your friend's from a predator of a father when you keep finding your friend home alone with them..

You can see why I had issues with my father, nor why I ended up cutting him off from my life once I moved out, hell me and brother even helped sneak my mother and her stuff out when the inevidible divorce came around. He was a horrible father and a horrible man. If he died tomorrow, I wouldn't have any remorse.
