    yo dude, no belittling felt - not a patch on others stories. felt weirdly empowering, tell the truth, I'm sure this is a classic part of masculinity and probably something people like to not admit, but there was something deep inside switched on in a tribal, baton passing instinct. Don't mean to sound heartless or cold as I love my father very much (and we are far closer after this experience) but I think your reptilian brain kicks in in these circumstances and you begin, naturally, to assume a mantle of responsibility, in case it doesn't work out rosy. And part of you wants it.

    • on. You're right - it is an integral part of growing up - in your case, you get all the 'advantages'. The rite & hope.Nairn
    • er.. I mean - you get the right of passage and you get to hold on to your dad. I guess you love him all the more forNairn
