He left about 7, 7 a .m. and came home about 5, 5 .30 p .m. And it was crucial that I, his son, not speak to him.
I could say, hi, hi dad, welcome home.
That was it. I couldn't speak to him for at least 30 minutes, probably an hour.
I had to wait probably an hour before I could talk with my dad It was crucial that I remember that every day because If I started talking too much asking too many questions Asking if I can go someplace asking for money asking asking asking if I did any of that My dad would get angry and absolutely the answer forever would be no no no no Ugh, yeah, my dad was tough, very, very tough.
It was crucial that I be very nice, be very quiet, especially to my father after he came home from work.
