Perhaps some other parent will reconsider

Broken Spirit,

Seeing your posting of pain and sorrow, perhaps some other parent will reconsider their own decision to leave.

I truly don't believe your father wanted to cause you this pain. In his own mind, he probably magnified whatever problems he had to the point that he imagined you'd be relieved that he was gone.

No one can replace a parent. Whenever one loses a parent, it is painful. To lose one prematurely is even more painful.

There is no good that will come of your father's exit, but perhaps your posting here will help prevent some other child from suffering as you are. Bless you for sharing your pain.

I wish you courage to find the strength to carry the pain. I hope you find friends who will help you with the burden. You have e-friends here at curezone, but you need friends you can talk to in real life as well.

Your father's choice broke your trust. Learning to trust again is important, but it won't happen overnight. Until you can trust others, come to curezone when you need friends and support.

I wish I could hold you tightly.
