Jurupa, you've left your past behind, but it hasn't left you. It's still lurking there, ready to pop up every time you want to involve yourself with someone.
There IS something you can do besides fight it- you can deal with it, and counseling can help. Fooling a counselor is a waste of time and money, and I'd like to think you wouldn't do that. The only real question to ask youreslf is how much more time do you want to spend living the lie your father gave you and called the truth?
