Now I recently escaped the clutches of my tyrannical father... First off, a little background info. Me and my wife were doing fine living on our own! We didn't have much, but we had what we needed and a few extra amenities as well. Now that said, my parents (father and stepmother) essentially begged us to move back in with them and so I did, even though I didn't really want to. I did this because I believed that my father, stepmother, and (mistakenly) my wife wanted to. In short, I yielded my will to there's... I realize now that that was a mistake! I suppose I could surmise that Neitszche's Superman failed me? That following my emotions was not the right thing to do? Although I fear that may be wrong. I think it would be more appropriate to say that I followed a "false Superman." A Superman who would enslave and demands blind obedience instead of logic and reason? I'm still trying to sort this out...

In what situation would you be equally as tyrannical?

I dunno? Prison? Truth be told, he put rules on us as if we were 3 years old! Problem is that we're not 3, we're fully grown adults! So one day, while he was away with his wife in the nearby town of Granbury for a doctor's appointment, I woke up my sleeping wife and said, "Wake up honey! We're getting the fuck out of here!" I knew my mother-in-law would take us in and so I packed all of our essentials into my little sedan and drove off! Making a quick stop for fuel and drinks and asking my wife to call her mother while I drive. "You got comms and I got the wheel baby!"

I do recall our discussions when you were lamenting over this decision. Based on what you were telling me (its all I have to go by) it sounded as if he was trying to manipulate you and your wife, to his advantage. Later, you did decide to make the move, but as I recall began to quickly regret your decision in lieu of your Father's ability to control many elements of how you live, finances, and even the 'exchange' of words in the household.
In the end, I think your heart was in the right place Donnie but I do think you were overly optimistic of the 'help' it would offer.
What will you do differently in the future, when faced with another difficult decision based on your will?
Any ideas?

I will review carefully to make damn sure it's what I really want/need, that's for one thing! That's the real problem with being human... You make mistakes! Anyway, "regret" you say? That's interesting as I normally don't regret anything I do! It obviously threw me into a downward spiral, but as always, I get back up and am still standing! Regardless of what I really am, I appear to be tough beyond words!

It was the feeling and tone conveyed in our conversations. These are just my opinions of course.
Yes, you push forward regardless of what shit rolls your way. That's living. Living in slavery is just more food for the gods!
