While maybe it’s not what you think, but your heightened suspicion based on reading countless incest stories on the internet, his odd behavior, loneliness and depression and the fact he said you took after your Mom…needless to say it’s understandable that you think something really wrong is going to happen.

“Yeah…Hey Dad I just remembered I have to go get something. I’ll be back.”

Your Dad doesn’t even reply he just stands there looking a little bewildered. You briskly head back to the basement and hope he doesn’t try to follow you. He doesn’t. In fact when you creep back upstairs a couple days later he’s passed out on the couch as usual. It would seem his attention turned back to booze which is perhaps where it should stay.

With this little example in mind, you come to the conclusion that changing things the way they are isn’t such a good idea and you rarely leave the basement ever again.
