Once upon a time there was a little girl who grew up with an abusive father. Luckily she was separated from him most of her life, but he still managed to cause irreparable mental and emotional damage. That little girl turned into a young woman, who continued to have an off and on dysfunctional relationship with the man she calls dad. Now a woman, and having a child of her own, she tries to make the best decisions possible for the future of this little girl. A little girl who will also one day wonder why her daddy doesn't love her. It breaks my heart that she may feel the same sadness in her heart where a fathers love should be.
It seems my gut, my heart and my head are conflicted. Are we all destined to repeat the same cycles of the past, regardless of how hard we try not to?

Your gut, your heart and your pretty little head are conflicted because you are about to take on the most important role of your entire life! Cycles are meant to be broken and as amazing as it seems, each generation gets better and better. No ones life will be perfect no matter how great a parent you try to be but we each have lifes lessons to learn and unfortunately we don't get to chose those lessons! But we can and we will love, support and teach our newest lady to be as strong as each of us are!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiring words.
ReplyDeleteIs it at all possible that the dad will want a part in her life once she is born?
