Re: Hi, I am just now coming to realize the effects my fathers
We should talk, Mysteria. ;)
At one time I regretted not knowing what I know now. I almost wondered why I was not born into perfect understanding. But, to know a storm, one must pass through it first.
My father's controlling nature got the better of him. My nature was alike his and so I constrained him. I also defended him. He had good intentions but negative ways of expressing them. He was angry at his family and made himself believe that his family was angry with him. He pitied himself and his incapability to be happy. Satisfaction was his greatest weakness. He though material things could bring him happiness. His intellect was never valued due to the fact that he could not help but downgrade everyone around himself when providing it. He was Selfish, Judgements, Biased, and Abusive.
But He was My Father. And he loved his family in a way in which none could understand how. Except for me. Because I knew from the beginning I was just like him.
Each person sees and hears the world differently. Each from their own eyes and ears. And in this world, there is no wrong. There is only perspective. And how one commits himself to each circumstance in his life.
The damage that you feel is impermanent. Once you pass through the storm and understand your father's standpoint you will realize that you only witnessed his Nature. Not Him.

Hi, I am just now coming to realize the effects my fathers
influence had on my life. I see it much clearer now and the damage runs deep. He is a horrible person I see and he makes me feel worthless and guilty to this day. Well at least he tries to. I have no use for his influence in my life and I work to heal from it now...
