Digging
I am not going to stop what I have started. I have done that way too often. I am reading the book, Toxic Parents right now. After reading some last night and this morning, I am hopeful that I may get to a point in my life that I am able to bless my parents. However; this is not going to happen overnight. I have a lot of emotions buried very deep, so I have to get digging, and sorting and dealing.

In no way was my situation w/my dad the same. He never completed disappeared, he was just absent a lot of the time. I confronted him on this as an adult. He claimed it hurt too much to not be able to be the dad he knew Jeff & I needed (since he no longer lived w/us), so he just stayed gone alot. I told him he just needed to be himself, but it was up to him to make the effort and BE THERE. That was the most important thing. Ours is not the ideal father/daughter relationship, but it's a lot better than it's ever been.
I'll be praying for you.

I meant completely. I never can catch everything when I proof my comments.
