    My Daddy taught me how to gamble.

  2. Caesar's wife says:

    My father taught me by his example:

    Never to drink on my own (he was a raving alcoholic)
    Always to put the family first (he had numerous affairs).
    He also taught me the meaning of rejection. In fact, he taught me never ever to follow any of his examples and to reject life lifestyle completely.

    He taught me that I could forgive him for leaving and that no matter what went on between him and her I had nothing to do with it! Have a great day!

    My father taught me to not become an alcoholic, never date a man who is abusive to his wife, and never abandon my children.

    My father died a lonely man, who had eight kids from two different marriages, the last four of which were put up for adoption and went to four different families, at the ripe old age of 64 from a failed liver. He had worked in the coal mines of WV, had black lung desease which he received a large settlement for, but spent it all on alcohol. He was found in his nasty, run down, mice ridden trailer in the mountains of WV nearly dead. He died three days later, on September 14, 2001. He had been found with 14 empty bottles of liquor on the floor beside the chair he was found in.

  11. tumbleweed says:

    My father had not only given me love and guidence, but the thing I most remember from him is that he told me to take any chance in life to gain experience. This has been most helpful for me throughout my life so far. If I had any chance to learn how to do something, I have always said yes. I may be jack of all trades and master of none, but I can work in many fields today.

  12. Diamond Jersey says:

    Hi, well my father was never around for his children because he never cared for them but this is what he taught me. Never give up on your children and always be there for them no matter what, never take the love of your life over your children, never give up on anything you do in life and the most important thing that he taught me is that money doesn’t but love.

    Take care.
