Learning

One thing I most regret about my parents getting divorced is that my father was completely absent.

There are things that I grew to know that should be done.

There was nobody to teach me how.

It's a bitch to know what you are supposed to do without knowing how to do them.

I learned, the hard way.  It took longer for being an OJT/DIY experience.

Later I learned that my father didn't know that there are things you are supposed to do, so he couldn't have taught me how.

One could suppose his removing himself from my life as a blessing since I was able to learn the lessons he had not.
