I wish you had had a different father. I am so sorry.
I am glad you stayed safe even through the visit of your father's friend!
My mother isn't as "bad" as your father, but I know a slight touch of feeling so conflicted about one's parents.
You have done great, becoming a successful person and a wonderful parent who is nothing like your dad.
These lines you wrote are so, so true: 'Monsters look like regular people. They can be quite charming. The greatest liars can be very difficult to figure out. Bad guys aren't bad all of the time. "
