My Relationship With My Father

I can only remember being close to my dad when I was real young something like 9 or 10. Ya see he got the alcohol sickness and then he started to lose his mind. You ever had a person that you cared about so deeply that you just had to keep your distance so you wouldn’t get hurt? Yep that’s the relationship that I had with my father. Yea we had great times we were young, my family that is, but once that sickness came he sort of went into his own world. A very abusive world that was physical and mental.

I respect fathers out there that nurture, build and support their kids life from the time they come in to this world and all throughout their life. It’s how it should be! Unfortunately I’ve missed out on that relationship and I think it may have an affect my relationships today to which I still deal with it. But at least I understand what’s going on. A lot of people don’t and let their situations go down the drain because they don’t know what’s affecting them. I don’t hold a grudge like I use to, about my father, but I’m still very protective and selective of who gets close to me. Because letting someone get close is giving them the power to hurt in my book. But now and then I do try.

Anyhow Peace!
