As I started to right my response two things came to mind, one of which I hadn't thought about tell now. My dad hating an even trying to intervene my playing with my sister's toys and things. The other one, which I had totally forgot about, was the fact that he used to force my mom to give us hair cuts and for the boys that meant crew cuts. I hated that most of all. My distaste for that was second to none to one other thing that always made things worse and that was the fact my mom use to force me to keep my nails short and stubby. It never felt good in way and didn't fit who I am. So once I was allowed to take over my nails myself I of course didn't cut them more than I ever had to.
