Dad and I had a unique and amazing bond that on some level sustained us for a lifetime, even through the darkness that became my life. Although he was the cause of my darkness and detached himself from me emotionally, he remained a figure who was larger than life to me. He wanted to love me; I am certain of it. He simply did not know how to fix what was broken inside of him.
My journey has cost me a lifetime thus far, but now that I have crossed through the darkness and into the light, I want to share this experience with as many people that I possibly can. I hope to remind parents just how critical it is for our children to know that we love them unconditionally even when they make mistakes. I hope to remind parents to say the words and to have forgiveness in their hearts.
If I can succeed in doing this, then my journey was worth the ride. Every child should learn to spread his or her wings and fly.view less
