Respect for fathers and mothers is a common tenet of most cultures. With the advent of modern psychology, we now question this idea. If our problems are the result of the way we were raised, why should we respect them? When we respect our parents we are acknowledging that we do not know the challenges that our parents face. We recognize that our parents had to overcome their own childhood issues as well. Respecting our parents is the path to beginning to respect ourselves and ultimately respecting the cycle of life.

I'm sorry you missed the day I came home.
I'm sorry you left my Mum all alone.
I'm sorry you missed the first time I walked.
And I'm sorry you missed the first time I talked.
My dad left the house when I was 5 years old and he told me that he would never be coming back. I remember he told me to go to back to bed. When I woke up in the morning he was gone. I felt...

You broke my trust for you
Just as you broke your promises
You broke my love for you
Just as you can break a twig...
I can relate. My Dad is an alcoholic and he has crushed my heart. He has broken me beyond repair.

I wish, I wish I was daddy's little girl,...
I'm 13 years old. I have a dad, but I want him to be with me. We talk on the phone and we say we love each other. But I want him here in my life. I want him to be on my side when my mom...

Daddy, are you out there?
Daddy, come home
Daddy, please meet me
Daddy, are you alone? ...
I am now 18 years old. My father has been in and out of my life. He has never been a father, and I call him Peter. He never bought us gifts and he doesn't know who my baby sister is and he...
I'm sorry, okay!
while tears of anger and sadness roll down my face,
they hit the floor
with no sound at all....
Wow...you could not possibly know how much this related to me and my dad. He was never there for me, my mom was the one who did everything. Then she committed suicide. I moved in with my...
Dad I miss you
You don't know what I've been through
Not being raised with a Dad
You've made me always be mad...
I totally get what you are going through. My mom died when I was born, and the only person I had was my dad, but he left on my 3rd birthday. Then when I turned 13 I got the news that he died,...

When the King left his castle,
The Queen became distressed.
The Prince went into hiding,
And the Princess became depressed.
I relate to this so much. My dad was and is extremely unreliable. He broke my trust slowly but surely, and now I'm struggling with mental health.
He is not the kind of hero who is fighting in the war.
He is not one who sails offshore.
I don't call him Sergeant, Captain, or Sir.
I have a dad who is always there to show that he cares. he set me a good example. Now I am a missionary and I am too far to be with him. I love him so much and I miss him..
where were you when I was all alone
why weren't you here after I begged you to come home
how could you leave me here by myself, you were all I had
I had enough people to hurt me...
I don't see you, Daddy. Why do you hurt me so much? I'm always sad. Why, Daddy, why? My heart hurts.
How long has it been since you wrapped me
in those strong and tough arms of yours?
How long are you gonna wait
to tell me that you are proud of me?...
Thank you for writing this. When my dad first left I thought no one would understand how I feel about my dad he was my hero when I was young now he is gone and it feels like he doesn't love...
