Very good story Janet, there were many times I wanted dearly to do this similar event to my father but there was no one to help me pull it off so the fear of failure factor won.  I lost many years of my life over that.

There is a valuable lesson to be learned from this story...if something is very valuable to you, now (in your youth) is the time to do it.

If dad had not of been a bully, this story would not have happened. But her fear of failure made her a woman. Janet, I prefer nice guy dads in your story. But then, I am a hopeless romantic.

what a great story ...  this is up there as the best I have ever read ....  janet has such talent and insight as to what we think .

uncanny the way she writes with a flare and design that is hard to beat .....   thank you Janet for this story ..don,t ever stop writing

it can be a way of life for us ...  XO  Rone

A lovely, inspiring story about how a boy's courage in facing up to his bullying father leads to a whole new way of life.

Although I often heard shocking one father like that isn't a good way to come out, it was a lovely story. A fear of failure is something many feel.
