There is nothing more painful than fighting between family members. Whether between parents who are married or divorced, or between siblings, there is nothing more bitter than watching people who once loved each other say painful things to one another. Family member know each other better than anyone. They know each other's vulnerabilities and can hurt each other in the most private and intimate places. So before you say something to a family member, no matter how much you think that they deserve it, remember, the pain of the memory of this encounter will last much longer than the satisfaction of a good one liner.
I'm sorry you missed out when I went to school for the first time,
And you didn't have me tell you that you were all mine.
I'm sorry you weren't there to take me to the mall,
And you weren't there to tell me I have to stand tall.
I am so deeply sorry. I, too, fantasized about a wonderful future with my dad in the picture. He made lots of promises to me when I was younger and I believed in him. But now I know that it...

I wished so much
for my biological dad,
but now that I've got him,
I'm feeling very sad.
I know how you feel. My father left, and before that, he did a lot of horrible things to me, my brother and my mother. Finally, we moved away and many years have passed, but all of a sudden,...
Thanks for believing in me.
Thanks for showing me you care.
Thanks for holding my hand.
Thanks for being there.
I can relate. My dad used to be physically there, but not "there." He would just sit there and ignore what I would say. He would give me his credit card just to get rid of me. The only time...

Where were you when the tears fell?
When the blood began to flow?
Where were you when I was scared?
When all my skies were gray
Standing in self-hatred,
drowning in my tears.

what I've been through the past 18 years....

Leaving behind others to take your place,
Carrying on your name, walking around with your face,
Knowing you got left behind,
Wondering what's on my father's mind....

You said you'd always be there
But you're nowhere to be found
I can't believe you left me...
