Its officially 6 months since my dad left me.

Just last night a girl I work with asked me if I felt guilt....every second. We had many unresolved issues and hadnt talked much in 3 years (I hadnt seen him in 2 years). I found it hard to forgive him for not standing up to his wife and stopping the abuse we all felt. My sister and I are looking into a headstone for him...

My guilt is overwhelming and I feel lost.

(((HALLIE))). I am sorry for your loss. I hope you can accept help from your therapist that nothing that happened is your fault, and you have nothing to feel guilty about. Your father was the adult and you were a minor and not expected to play the role of an adult, and take on all the family problems, or guilt of the probblems not turning out as you had anticipated. Take care (((HALLLIE))). Pm anytime. Soidhonia
