Tour

I've been watching the tour and I really couldn't have imagined myself been so into a sport. Actually I wouldn't call cycling a sport, it's a lifestyle (perhaps I'm jumping the gun a bit here haha). It was interesting to read about Wiggins father and their relationship. He talked about how his father left him and his mum and how he didn't have a father figure. It's so sad that his dad was in fact very proud of him but never told him that before he died. I'd prefer to be in his shoes than to be where I am at, where I have to pretend to love and respect my dad when in fact I absolutely loathe him for what he has done, for how he has been as a father and for his selfishness and arrogance. Which husband, father or person would make their pregnant wife and children do heavy labor, play psychological games with everyone including their family and believe that cheating is justified - yet so self blinded in their own greatness to think that they are the best father out there. Life would have been and would be so much better if he had left. But why would he when he had so much free labor?! I wouldn't go home if not for my mum and siblings there, seeing him and been near him makes me sick. One day I'll stop sending him fake father's day and birthday cards and presents. I'm happy for and indeed envious of people who have loving parents and who have a childhood filled with memorable experiences. I can't change my own family or my childhood, but I'll make sure that my children would have what I wanted so much but never had. Ok, enough ranting for one day!
