I was raised a good catholic girl. I spent plenty of time on my knees in prayer

Is squirm the same thing as smile?

I thinks a squirm is way better then a smile and much needed!

FYI. You only need to smile to make me squirm

I found out on Wednesday that my dad had passed on the 15th. He spent four days alone in his apartment before someone found him. It was a tragic ending to an even more tragic life. Our relationship was a complicated one. He grew up in an abusive household and while never abusive to me he was violent with my mother and lived his life as an addict. He did love me though, as much as he was able to, and much of who I am I attribute to being his daughter. I spent my childhood hoping he would change, choose me instead of drugs and held on to any shred of hope he was on a new path.
Unfortunately, that was not to be the case.

As an adult I learned to set boundaries and worked to provide a very different family dynamic for my children. Its been far from perfect but my children grew up in a stable and supportive family knowing they were loved.
Recently I had to choose my children's safety and best interest over my dad. It lead to us being estranged for the past year.

The call from the medical examiner was a complete shock. I knew he would not live forever, in fact he is lucky to lived as long as he did, but the hurt and anger of loss is so raw.
Papa, I loved you for who you were and all the things I learned from you.



May your spirit be free and may you have an easier path on your next go around.

So sorry to hear. Hugs. @Photog1rl

[ShaneoD]

Well done lady, for learning what you could and for doing what was right by your family

 

[Belegon]

Hugs to you and yours, love. And strength.

I'm still adjusting to the loss of my Dad in some ways, Mine passed in 2019, and also struggled to overcome parenting that was abusive. I feel like he made a valient effort and certainly did not install many of the less positive things about my paternal grandfather into us. He broke the cycle.

I’m very sorry to hear of your loss, no matter what type of relationship you have or had, loss is loss. My only advice is to be kind to yourself, quell any doubts that might arise before they take root, revel in all that is wonderful in your life, the life’s that you created that thrive and congratulate yourself for breaking the cycle, which is never easy.
