Corrections of Fathers' Sins, is a 68,000 word narrative fiction of repetitous torments from a Vietnam veteran to his family, and the elder sons' plight to not fall in those hereditary foot-steps. What can be gathered from this is that the thought process: the plotting, conniving efforts, the underhandedness of the acts for personal gain, the selfishness of what is being done or attempting to do, all stemmed from what can be observed at home with Father Figure and how he lies, cheats and steals to have everything his way until family, the judicial system and even death catches on to his game. Good Fathers are made, not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective Father to your son. Good Fathers develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience. But, there can also be a negative impact congruent to having a negative influence. These passages are of a child that is transitioning into adulthood and reflects back to the choices made by his Father Figure and the paths taken to self-fulfillment. This story will help you through that same path of what NOT to do.
