Hopeful -- Hate and resentment only hurt YOU. The people you hate and resent don't even KNOW how you feel about them, so YOU are the one who is getting hurt. Those feelings are eating YOU alive. I'm sure you've heard the old statement "Resentment is the poison I take to kill you." Well, it's true. When we hate or resent someone, it only "kills" US.
Why not try to let all that poison go? It does you no good, and it doesn't affect the person you're hating/resenting. Letting it go frees you of all the negativity and "cleans" you of all that poison so you can really GROW in the program and in LIFE!
I had alot of resentment against my Mom and my ex. I worked hard to get rid of all that and I finally did and now I know that it can't hurt me anymore! And Step 6 will be a breeze to get thru!  Your Dad won't be able to hurt you anymore sweetie.
I wish you the very best. Please take care of YOU. God bless. Hugs, Lee
