    Your blog link to the article,

    Childhood memories of father have lasting impact on men's ability to handle stress

    August 12, 2010

    "Sons who have fond childhood memories of their fathers are more likely to be emotionally stable in the face of day-to-day stresses, according to psychologists who studied hundreds of adults of all ages."

    Well, that certainly explains a great deal of my behaviour.
