My father totally controlled my mother. And they were both very authoritarian and strict in every way. Around 1975, when I was 16 or 17, I smoked, drank, quit going to church. Everything he hated. I didn’t realize it at the time, but it was anger over his need for control. I couldn’t wait to get out of that house and I did At 18. Didn’t make for an easy few years but I don’t regret it.
