My dad was a drug addict all my life, and drank a lot as well. I used to hold so much anger toward him, and I hated him. Now I live with my mom, they are divorced, and he’s in treatment. My brother, mom, and I go to therapy and Alateen/Al-Anon. I don’t hate him anymore, and I’ve started to accept that he had a disease, but I’m not sure if I’ve forgiven him 100%. I want to forgive him, and maybe someday have a good relationship with my dad.

For what you did,
I resent you.
Not because I hate you, but because I loved you so much.

And it’s not good for me to hold onto grudges. It just creates bitterness in my life that doesn’t need to be there.

A Warm 'n Fuzzy Feeling 2 years ago

It wasn’t easy but I’ve done it!

EFT & TAT helped!!
www.emofree.com & www.tatlife.com – free pdf manuals on both!

We also talked a lot about some of the old stuff…

Still, occasional grudges come up, but I feel we have a much better relationship in general!!



Father's Day. 2 years ago

I’m sending him a Father’s Day card, so this is a first step.

Although I think I’m doing it because I want to be bigger than him, not because I want to actually wish him Happy Father’s Day.



Scully okay

I forgave him already 2 years ago

Long ago, and I know it. He didn’t forgive me.

OK so I’ve been meditating on forgiving my dad. After thinking about it, I think that my problem is not so much with forgiving my dad for his shortcomings as a father, but I need to stop equating his attentions to me with is love for me.

I once heard a saying – that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

Hmmmm…...food for thought.
