I love you, I Miss you, I can’t wait to see you again. I’m here when you need me, Love Dad.

A long time coming…

From the time you were in the womb there has been contention. Dishonesty, selfishness, betrayal and treachery. Your childhood and teenage years were full of things I’m sure I still don’t know. I’ve spent my life trying to minimize the damage, protect you as I could, yet here we are. The system is not designed to reward honesty or good faith. It seems to be the best at converting broken marriages into broken families and broken families into broken children. The more lies told, the more success was achieved. None of this has been fair to you. None of it. If I could change the past without changing you, I would in a heartbeat. The Lord can make all things for the good, out of my greatest regret He has given me the greatest gifts…you.

I don’t think you know what has actually happened. I don’t think you know the truth. I know you have been told things that are not true. Many of the adults you have trusted have manipulated you into believing things that never happened. I am sure that must be very confusing for you, I can’t imagine growing up in the environment you’ve endured. But my children, we only have one life to live. These are the cards you’ve been dealt. We can’t change them, we can either fold or play the hand as best we can. As squirrel would say, “Just keep swimming”.

So, what now? I mean, you are technically an adult, you can believe whatever you want to believe, do what you want to do to attempt to be happy, but before you decide, I feel like you should at least hear the truth. So that’s what I’m going to tell you. I’ll try to break it up into sections, there is a lot of ground to cover. But when you’re ready, just click below:
