<< After years of denials and lies, would you really trust your father again when future problems arise. >> To carry your analogy a little further - if the option was to leave the guy and try to make it on our own, with no skills and a hostile economy, I might stick with the guy for a little longer. I'd be leary, and probably wouldn't trust him completely, but that doesn't mean I'd leave. Especially when I know that in 2 years I would be graduating from college and could afford to distance myself from him. How's that?

Actually you palm branch offering has some interesting personal aspects. I in fact have a father that has been a real mixed bag. What I found as a kid and later as an adult is that my Dad is a real jerk in certain well defined and limited areas. At the same time, he is a dependable and reliable person in other well defined and limited areas. He is also brilliant in a few limited ways and just plain an idiot in many others. I have had trouble respecting him for his faults, but I have found that I can build a real and rewarding relationship with him focusing on the better areas. He isn't perfect and the whole situation isn't perfect. What I feel though is that this is the way these things work in reality often. It isn't a dsyfunctional relationship, it is a limited one. It works quite well in many respects and I care about him and count on him to this day. This is why I don't find Clinton shocking; just another mixed bag Dad type. Since I don't care about the bad parts; I like the relationship I can have with what is working for me. Clinton does what I need him to do. I wouldn't though have my niece work as an intern either, though I figure she will find sex one way or another and I have no control over who, how old, or how much quality. That is something I can only hope she chooses well. If she doesn't; I won't blame the guy; I'll blame her. The girl always makes the choice in sex unless raped.
