I have 3 adult children who I love very much although things between me and my daughter are not very good as she lives with her mother and her mother tells her every mistake I ever made etc etc and poisons her thoughts of me. I have helped them all buy their own homes so I have honoured my duty as a father in educating them and helping them start their businesses. I am scared to have new children as I know the amount of hard work it takes in bringing up a child. That is why I admire and respect your father so much
