I've worked insanely hard to get to this place where I'm truly beginning to understand my dad's mistreatment of me when I was a child was not my fault. It feels like a massive relief, but at the same time, I'm feeling really sad.. Realising my dad's sick and simply incapable of being a proper dad means I cannot change him. So long as I believed it was my fault, I felt I could do something about it - if I could only come up with what exactly it was about me that made him not want me, I could have changed myself and then he would have wanted me as his daughter..
It's better this way, realising it's not my fault - but I am sad.. |

I had these same issues with my dad. The day I stopped letting it be my problem and knowing it was his was a freeing day. It's really his loss, not seeing the wonderful person I am, preferring to project evil on me that really was not part of who I am.
Keep up the work. You will be where you want to be one day!
