He’s still your father; forgive him.
Tell me, Father, what did I do wrong in my past life to deserve you? to deserve that kind of treatment? How could you hurt a little girl? and you’re wondering, Why do I like this? Remember, you made me like this? You were supposed to be the first man of my life, but you were the first man to break my heart.
Every time I see a man and his daughter enjoying each other’s company, I envy them. It hurts knowing that my father and I could never do that. Tell me, Father. How can I forgive you for the things you’ve never apologized for? How can I father?
“The hate for your father is so strong because you weren’t looking at him as a daughter but as a woman.”
but I am my father’s daughter...
Yes, I do have a father, but I can’t feel his presence anymore.
