Family is who we look to when we need help. We expect our parents to raise us, our grandparents to love us, and our brothers and sisters to always be there for us when the chips are down. They are our blood and we depend on that connection. When a family member doesn't live up to our expectations we feel abandoned. When a parent, grandparent or older brother or sister puts their needs in front of our own, we feel abandoned and alone. In such a case, we are likely to feel sad, alone and angry.

She told her daughter she hated her and wished she was never born.
She didn't even seem to care that the child's heart was torn.
She blamed child for all of her heartache and pain.
Did she realize emotional abuse can drive a child insane....
I'd like to adopt you if I had my own house. I'll pray that your life circumstances improve.

Behind your shadow,
I stand and fall.
It's a tough battle,
In which I feel so small....

You were my dad that I once knew,
But little do you know the pain you put me through.
I've grown up and realized
That your life is nothing but one thousand lies.
Wow. I can relate. My father has left and come back about 5 times, and all 5 times we've taken him back. He would stay about a week until he and my mom would have a fight (here 1 week, gone 2...

You were there when I needed you
to catch me if I'd fall
But daddy didn't love me
he didn't care at all...
I grew up not knowing that I have a dad, because my dad left me when I was 4 months old and he never cared about me. My mom told me this year, and I looked for him and I found him, but he...
Broken promises and sad goodbyes you left me standing all alone with tears in the well of my eyes.
In the blink of an eye, you turned your back and walked away;
often I wonder if I'm the reason you didn't stay.
Everyday I dream of how perfect my life would be if you were here....
Your poem hit the nail on the head. My ex did this to our daughter while in her early twenties. She is 34 now, and the pain of being erased in his life for his new family has caused nothing...

Remember my words, my father said
As he cradled me up and laid me to bed;...
I know it's 3 years ago that you wrote this comment, Charlie, but I just wanted to say that I hope you're doing ok, and I think I know how you feel. I have gone through a similar experience...
Do you know what it's like
to feel so alone?
No mom, no dad,
no house to call a home.
Promises stitched carefully
Like an old worn out quilt
sewn only to soothe
all your mountains of guilt...

To the broken promises you've never kept.
From My first dance,
To your last chance....
This story hit close to home because my father left before I was born. But he kept in touch with my mom and sent me a ring before never talking to me again. Soon my mother married and I was...
