I have to disagree with that, though it may have been so in the Dark Ages perhaps. No, the vast majority of people in the 21st century understand it to be a harmless superstition and nothing more, same as with black cats, walking under a ladder, and breaking a mirror. Anyway, you still haven't explained the correlation between your father's "13th that was covered over to make an honorable 12th," and how that specifically impacted your family life in negative ways. How did changing his birth date, cause all that suffering?
