re: Being There For A Parent That Abandoned You And Has Been A Source Of Pain Your Entire Life

Live your life, make the most of it for you and be the best person you could always be for your kids, do twice as much for them to help them have more than anyone else could ever have, need or want for their own good and to heal your history and troubles.

This right here. When people ask about how I felt. I always tell them I had a great life. I wanted for nothing thanks to my mom. And as far as my dad goes the best lesson he ever taught me is how to be a father by doing almost the exact opposite of what he did and was. Can’t live life regretting the past and thinking what might have been. Don’t concentrate on what you don’t have but realizing what you do.
