My dad was homeless for a few years before he got married. No kidding. Because of that, many habits became a part of him. For example, if he is to change a light bulb that's above the diner table, he'll step on the table with his shoes on and change it (he's perfectly capable of doing this while someone is eating, stepping right next to their dish). You look at him like, "dad, really?" and he looks back at you like "hum, what is it now?". He's really lost every notion of hygiene. Also, he became extremely paranoid about thieves. Like, if he's fixing some device outdoors and one little screw is to roll a few feet away, he'll immediately say "damn it! someone must have walked by and picked it up while we were looking away!". No matter the value of what's missing, he knows he would have picked it up in his day, so he assumes anyone else would also do it.
I love him still, you know. Nobody's perfect.
Uhm... There's no "None of them have gone to jail, ever"??
I mean... is not that the most common situation?
No. I think a few of my other family members have on my mother's side have. The only one I can think of got caught trying to bring drugs in over the border. One of the kids my aunt used to be a foster mom to was "rumored" to be a drug dealer. I'm not sure if he ever went to jail, but if he did I probably would have heard about it.
The thought of either of my parents doing anything worthy of jail time is laughable.
My bio dad but it doesn't matter to me. I didn't even know what he looked like til I was in my twenties and my mom found some old pictures. Good guy. Lied about taking his guns on the honeymoon and my mom got the gift of a strip search at the border. That's nothing in the scope of his deeds though.
dad was back in the day and my mom was locked up for 16 months when u was about 8 yrs old in tr early 90s
Dad's been in and out a few times. I look at it as a blessing in a way that I have not been shown how to be as an adult, but not what to be.
No. Quite a few of my extended family have, but neither of my parents as far as I'm aware.
I don't think after I was born, no. Before I was born is a different answer.
I don't know about after I was born, though it's possible, but my father has been to jail multiple times, as far as I'm aware. He got started young, too.
He's not a part of my life.
