When Last Did You Do This To Your Father? by LocalStandard1(m): 6:15pm On Dec 29, 2022
Let me start with this short story.

On Christmas Eve I was almost brought to tears watching and observing somethings around me. There and then I made a shrug as if saying "I reject it".
I saw how men stayed out late through the evening, working in their shops and making calls to customers owing them. One told me how he had to go to the next town just to get Christmas clothes for his kids cos they were cheaper there. The way he jealously and carefully handled and prepared the clothes almost made me cry. The other man actually passed the night in his shop, working.

One told how his wife never appreciate his efforts, he said as soon as he's blessed he will remarry. Some men can't even go back home after work, they branch the bars to gather liver and morale first.

See, I have looked at the world around me, God has given me that eyes actually. Men are the most underrated, under appreciated, over looked, undervalued, uncredited, group under heaven. I watched a show on YouTube about a group of men and a group of women separated in an island and asked to survive for some time, separately.

Less than a week into their stay in the island the women almost got obliterated by nature and their ignorance and other weaknesses, while the men were thriving so much so that the women begged the men to be admitted into their side of the island. That is a tip of a world without the KINGS. The very SOUL of society and existence.

When last did you look at your father and say to him "thank you"? What about your big bro? Or your male teacher, mentor or uncle?
Every day we hear songs of praise about women and mothers, advocacy for girl child, but what about the real backbone and creators of our world? What about the very people that literally, willingly and even happily put their lives on the line so that the world we live in will be worth living in? I mean the very people that ushered us out of the caves and subdued and conquered the world we enjoy and run our mouths in today?

Before you ask why your father abandoned you first ask why? Nobody knows and nobody cares to ask him what he is going through. Nobody goes to the grave of his father and say "thank you".

I started out having deep admiration for the woman. But some years ago I looked at the men around me and ask "who's telling their story?". These people never cry, never go out to the world and complain, so when they finally react the world gather and call them names.

I am a man, I am proud to be a man, I salute all boys and men out there. You're doing well!! Remain proud and adamant.

Thank you and God bless you very!

That song was one of my best then. But it is a song of prayer to God, being the Father, not a human father.

Good. Now I want you and your fellow toxic females to listen to this song and reflect on your fathers, or who you would have wanted him to be. It will help you heal, understand and appreciate men. And maybe, just maybe you will find that old and strong force called love. Thank you.

I would love for you to share the song with Poco and co.

It seems you skipped your medication, again!

For you not to even have an idea of the existence of the song, is a reflection you have nothing reasonable going on in your head. Who is even stopping male musicians from singing songs in praise of their fathers? Even Luther Vandross had to connect with his feminine side to come up with that classic

I am not a product of a dysfunctional childhood as you may likely be, so bog off and look for somewhere else to pin your toxicity.

Parenting is hands on and lifelong. Just make sure you are present physically and emotionally in your children' lives, so that you can avoid having adult children who will regard you às a stranger and you busy blaming their mother(s) for the estranged relationship.

I do know the song actually, I think everyone that has ever owned a radio knows the song. It is a classic.

But why are you angry lady? I only thought to encourage and maybe rehabilitate you back to a loving society, and ease the tension I seem to notice in you. Now your outburst has confirmed my suspicion. I hope you find long lasting peace and happiness.

See who wan rehabilitate person, abeg which body accredited you? cheesy Whoever gets unfortunate to be rehabilitated by you runs the risk of ending up a psychiatric case as you would mess up the person's mind!

If you desire to be a grounded therapist, I encourage you to go back to school and study counselling psychology at both undergraduate and post graduate level as we have few male therapists in the field
