No, not really, she was part of the reason... but she's nicer than my dad... even though a sad flashback made me realize he loves me too, but just doesn't show it in the same way...
It was visiting hours at the mental hospital, and my dad was visiting first. Some of the kids that have been there longer and who's parents didn't visit were going to visit were going to the extremes of hugging the therapists. "I would never do that..." I thought to myself, and it's true, I never would. As I get closer to my dad, I see tears in his eyes. "That can't be right... daddy never cries..." But he was. I hugged him and started crying. He said "Please stop crying..." Every time I cried. You could tell he was crying while saying these words, because he said them in such a high pitched voice. That was the only time I ever saw him actually cry, no, not just come close, but actually cry.
Such an unpleasant memory... :'(
