I had a great relationship with my dad. he ran a small business from home after he got hurt and watched me and was around all the time. He was not into sports or rough housing like the other dads but softer and gentler and told me he loved me all the time. He always backed me up and supported what ever I wanted to do but taught me right from wrong. Yet I still wished I had been born a female. However both my parents are very old fashined and you follow the straight and narrow. They were also very prejudice and judgemental of others. I could never tell them my secret.
