A man who prioritizes money over his own children is a pitiful person whose values are out of whack. Fortunately, for me, this isn't the issue. There wasn't a financial dispute between my parents or my father and me. Nor did my mother turn me against my father or use me to "win" a divorce. There...

🧡 🧡 🧡 Yes, and my mother wanted me to know that I was born out of love; she loved my father, and he loved her. I know he tried his best to be a family man, but he couldn't do it. I had decided never to have any children until I fell in love with a man who both wanted children and I knew he would...

Thank you, Sigarms. I've read his posts, and yes, I expect to have some closure now. I'm sorry he died, but for me, that tiny splinter in my mind that wondered where he was and if I would ever hear from him again is removed. I had the good sense to realize he and I would never have a real...

Crash's daughter posting some context on these photos: My mom took those photos at the Elsinore Grand Prix and sewed his leather pants. We had a camper truck with a ladder you could climb to sit on the top. I think she took the overhead photo of the race group. She was an avid amateur...

Thanks so much! I'm currently reading the entire Bad Day thread. It's very interesting. He references a grandson coming to visit him. I think he may have been a step-grandson, as his last wife had children who were around my age, and Jim, it seems, was an involved stepfather at that time. I...

I may have other photos, but here are some I could find that my mother sent over a decade ago. My parents took a trip to the Pick 'em Up so Sid could meet me. Sid gave my mother this photo to give to me.

My mother and father took me to meet Sid when I was a baby.

I'll try to find a photo to share so you can see that it was clear he was my father. When I was born, the nurse told him, "You can't deny this one" because I looked so much like him. I'm not throwing him under any bus. Like him, I'm sharing my side of the story. Of course, it's my version of...

On the one hand, I agree there are two sides. I'm sharing what I know about Jim Johnson because I did know him personally. I think what I know (as little as it is) would be of interest to the people who enjoyed reading about this life. Yes, I'm starting with some of the more difficult memories...

It is interesting to read his posts. I do see there are some good gifts in my life that might not have happened if our family had stayed intact. I have a happy, long marriage (21 years), a great son, a successful career, and my mother was extraordinary and dedicated to her children (I have two...

Thank you for your care and concern. It is interesting to read his posts. I do see there are some good gifts in my life that might not have happened if our family had stayed intact. I have a happy, long marriage (21 years), a great son, and my mother was wonderful and dedicated to her children...

Thank you. 🧡

Well, I was shocked to find this when I was searching to find out if my father was living or dead. James Earl Johnson was my father, and he went by the name "Jim Johnson" from at least 1967 to 1996. He largely abandoned me in 1972 when he and my mother separated. I last saw him in 2006, when I...
