For me,some years ago,with the briipes and triples that are supposed to disguise a burp.

I,m not as negative as him ...yet. I still expect the sun to rise in the morning,for instance...but not sure if it will give me any warmth!

I see myself in a reflection and my dad looking back at me. Not in a mirror but more like an accidental reflection in a shop window and such. It started when I was around forty or so.

I am glad that I only look like him. I won't ever think like him. He was a monster

On a lighter note I have the Debyshire dialect of my mam even though I live in North Notts

I grew up vowing praying "Please God, don't make me like her," (my mother). She was a violent, nasty, spiteful, selfish woman. I have worked hard not to be like her and think I've succeeded! Thankfully.

As regards Jomailme's post

I have worked hard to not be my Father equally as much. I think that sometimes being on the back foot as a child can make a difference as an adult. I learnt what not to do and my kids love me as much as I love them

Hello Keith

Think that's a really honest post. Call me a c=nt but was he an alcoholic? I was taken into the Legionnares Club and fed alcohol from the age of 9 and my arrogant father thought that making his childen the shadow of him was the way to go!

My father's a coward. And the sun will rise for you, believe in nature.

I will never ever turn into my mother. I'm not jealous, possessive, controlling or a bully in any way shape or form.

I swear that they based Wallace & Gromit on him. I still have his massive Industrial Lathe and fine tool precision Lathe amongst many other tools. I've even caught myself muttering just like him when I'm thinking about how to design something to get around a problem. I'm getting worried ;-)

I would be proud to be compared with my mother or grandmother...
