OP It is sad you are estranged from your dad however I don't think he has control on who or what you turn out to be but since you believe it does. . .what stops you from reaching out and changing the situation? You use of BETTER PERSON reminds me of a this quote Every day that you wake, there are endless opportunities awaiting you. It is up to you to fulfill your potential and become a better person than you were yesterday. Leave the negative baggage in the past and welcome more prosperity in your future. You have what it takes to become a kingdom. May the New Year bring you peace & better tomorrows! Sorry, don't know what else to tell you. |

@OP Take those words in red seriously, there are many people who were once in the same shoes as you but still weNt on to live exceptional lives so I see no reason you. Can't besides your experience should be a lesson for you to be a better parent because you know first hand what it feels like to neglect a child. |

Very understandable. But you see. . .when fate subtracts from your life. . .YOU ADD TO IT AND ENRICH IT! Divorce is a terrible wound that robs parents the joy of being with their children because THEY CAN'T BE AMICABLE WITH THEIR SPOUSES. You can't turn back the hand of time. Only a parent that truly cares will put his or her child FIRST. . . instead of being selfish. You are right. A father's love is PRICELESS! But in the absence of that. . .you learn to LOVE YOURSELF. |
