For those of you who do not know, I have a very strained
relationship with my father. My father is a radical Neo-Nazi and a proud
skinhead. I used to be ashamed of my roots, but I’ve come to accept the fact
that hiding the truth will not change who my father is and was. I, of course,
no longer speak to him; have not in about 7-8 years.
Now to the point I am trying to make.
Recently I was going
through his Facebook, and came across a few very disrespectful and racist
posts, all directly relating to my 12 year old brother (who he has legal
custody of). One of which was relating to my brother’s school and how he had
been in written up for wearing a baseball cap on the premises, to which my
father responded with some very negative comments about how the school allows
students of certain religious persuasions to wear articles on their heads.
There were worse things written on his Facebook, but I’m not going into them
because it will further piss me off.
People are always asking me is I miss my dad and the answer
is no. I never have and never want to be associated will someone so vile and
ignorant. And further more, it angers me when people use their background to
back their horrible ideals saying, “well I was raised this way”. Well I WAS
raised that way, but I am NOT that way. Your beliefs do not have to be
influenced by those of your parents, especially if they are harmful. It is easy
to live without one parent knowing that I am better off without him in my life.
