RE: Father/Daughter Relationship

in #psychology6 years ago

Not sure if I should feel sorry for your dad or for you or both of you.

Let me explain:
He missed so many great possibilities and chances to have fulfilled life. I have an 11 year old daughter and even learned how to sew through youtube vids, just to be able to show her. I go to KungFu lessons with her, make musik with her, teach her cooking, and to stand up for herself to be once able to live a fulfilled life... For me this was and still is one of the most challenging tasks I ever had.

In the end our children are everything and the only thing that remains from us. If we don't involve, nothing of us remains.

Sort:  

This is great! This is even more than I've ever wanted from my father.
I used to feel sorry for myself but I accepted my fate and forgave him for never being there.
There should be more dads like you and I hope there are. After all, you gave life and you should get involved in this life.

Lucky for me, I understood quite early what I could miss, not involving. Imagining how it would feel NOT to involve and realizing later what I had missed... turns my stomack and rips my heart apart, only by thinking about it.

Well, at least I had and still have a mother to do all these things for me.
The real challenge is for people who have neither a mother nor a father to get involved in their lives.
