When Your Dad Married Three Times Before Having You
- By

The understanding you were no novelty
I’ve always—or at least since I was about 12 or 13 years old—had the understanding that I’m no novelty to my dad. I’ve always felt that my family was no novelty to my dad. I don’t want to say that it felt as if he didn’t cherish my family, because he did and he does, but I could just tell that he didn’t feel the way other dads felt about their family. There was a pride and a preciousness I saw in other dads, who had just one family. This was their one family. That was everything to them. That wasn’t there with my dad.
