I was raised by an evil and narcissistic father. Instead of treating me like a human being, he treated me like an insect. He is egoistic and has absolutely zero empathy. He felt that he was superior to most people because of his English knowledge, profession (professor), etc. I think he turned out to be so selfish because of his own childhood trauma. He firmly believed that good education (and a good job) would get him out of the misery. He was obsessively studying all the time. He didn't stop it even when I was born.

The Girl Who Loved Them Both
My dad had been dead twenty years when my French lover shared what he had learned about him. I knew some things. That French girls were beautiful. That he wanted to return to France and drive through Normandy before he died, to climb and dip over the emerald hills, the trees heavy with apples waiting to be plucked and pressed for Calvados. That death had a smell of its own. That he was lucky to live during that first wave storming Omaha Beach on June 21, 1944.

Echoes of Dennis Scott
Just when I was getting to know my father, he left us. I don't mean like he died. I mean, like he packed up his belongings in his trusty Vauxhall and went to live with his other family that he had started a few years after I was born. Those were hard times for me. The little that I knew about my father--he was an accountant who smoked Benson and Hedges and smiled whenever he saw Diana Rigg on The Avengers--wasn't helpful during those chaotic years after he had left.
