Yes. The harm done by and absent, neglectful, and abusive father are more than we can heal alone. We have an epidemic of it. I’m so sorry for your pain. I should have been watching my ex and his mother. That, I had no idea to watch. My life wasn’t a cakewalk but I was loved. He was doted on. Very different. And by his sisters as well. The golden child…

My dad was there for me and saw my ex for who he was. Buy he never said so, until after the divorce. He didn’t want me to marry him so quickly either, as the ex had no idea what he was doing with his life..still doesn’t. I didn’t hear the warnings. I couldnt. Until it was too late. Oh, the things we have seen!
