Is a goth supposed to have a bad relationship with her or his parents ? In that case I'm no good goth, because I dearly love my father. My father was born in the year 1939, the year Poland was dragged into a war with Germany. I do not have to explain what this war meant for jewish people, I only say that my father was the sole survivor of his family and this thanks to a polish policeman who 'took him away' during the razzio of the warsovian getto. During the war he lived on the polish countryside, hidden with many more jews (my father does not recall how much) in a barn. They survived the war, all of them and when the war ended a jewish woman married to a non jewish male adopted him. This jewish woman, who to my father is his real mother because he hardly remembers his natural mother, my dearly beloved grandmother 'babcia Rebecca' is still alive.
My grandfather (the husband of babcia Rebecca) died shortly after the war from an 'unknown disease', I guess it could have been cancer. He and babcia Rebecca were convinced communists and my father was also raised a communist. He became at young age a partymember and made his carreer as an economist working in many functions for the gouvernment. But he also saw the flaws of the communist state and developed a liberal attitude towards the system. When in 1989 after the round table conferention was decided that Solidarnosc and other political parties could enter the elections of 1990, my father was very happy.
How to describe him ? I think he is a very ethical person with a great need to understand other people. I think I'm very similar to him, but I'm a bit more 'tempered' then he is. I guess, although he is still a member of the formal communist party, he is mainly a believer in peace and equality. I can talk with him about almost everything, (with my mother for example I cannot). I have a better relation with my father then my sisters have, but that's the advantage of being born late : My father was not busy anymore with his career when I was a child and he had lots of time for me.
