I do wish my father had read this when young.

Although he probably have just ignored it and got back to work.

Yeah, you probably didn't benefit at all from his hard work.

So, if an abusive, shitty dad makes sure you have a clean home and clean food, then it doesn't matter that he was abusive and shitty, right? What if he wasn't abusive, but he lied to you daily about God and Government, therefore neutering your ability to enter the adult world with any semblance of personal control? It's good that he worked that job, rather than teaching actual practicality and efficiency to his child, right?

Valid points.
