my dad was a complete failure as a dad. surely i wouldnt fall in his footsteps but...i dont know, the thought of someone hating me as much as i hate him scares the shit out of me.

A very fair and honest answer. Breaking the cycle is part of the immense pleasure though. My dad is not a complete asshole, but he is a rather incomplete asshole a lot of the time. And when I was little he really wasn't great. I try to do everything I know he didn't do, but then I hardly have to try. My son makes it a joy to do. I did get off really easy on that front though. And I hope and pray our impending divorce doesn't fuck things up for him too bad (unfortunately it would just fuck things up more to put it off until he's older).

Agreed. Though my parents did exactly that and didn't get divorced until I was 30 (basically they waited until I finally got a college degree, they are very "mission bound" people). I actually got divorced a year before they did.

I'd like to jump up and down and say "Never Again!" but I've given up on Never as much as Forever at this point.

Given up on never as much as forever....can I steal that one liner from you my friend? It's very profound and caught me at the right philosophical time

It must be pretty easy to gatecrash a Halloween party. Just dress up like the dude on the left in Girlgun's photo. Who knows, maybe the dude on the left did gatecrash her party. How's that for irony.

no one else dressed up?

well sometimes it's good for legal purposes. like taxes. or giving your spawn the same last name as their parents. etc etc. it's just a commitment. yes.
