If you never had a father or you had a horrible one, I know those feelings you have, I know the empty feeling and the "missing" piece in your life. Mine was an abusive drunk beyond belief. If this is you I would like to share what I have learned to you. There is nothing wrong with you, what happened to you was not because of you. I know the fear of having children, I too had that fear. Give your children what we so desperatly wanted from our own fathers..you know what that is because it's the very thing you craved. LOVE them like crazy, Love them without hesitation and I promises you it will be returned. Love them lavishly, Love them extravagantly, not with money...your heart! I have rasied 3 wonderful children and they walked in love everyday of their lives with me...I was never abusive or caused harm...DON'T FEAR! You have what it takes..use the pain to be the parent you know you wanted...Love NEVER fails!!!
sorry so long....will you agree with me about you?

That was so so sweet! Bless you for that and it wasn't too long at all. I hope a lot of people read that. My Dad was a good Dad but my parents were divorced when I was 14. My 3 younger siblings didn't fare as well as me and my older 2 siblings... we are close to him, but they have "Daddy issues," especially my youngest sister. My daughter has that Daddy hunger for her way less than perfect biological. I will share your message with her when she gets older.
Thanks! and Thanks for being a good Dad and making the choice to do so that so many are too weak to do.

well good for you~ u have to stop the cycle. hating and resenting your father and blaming him for your problems will only cause you to go towards negative things, and even eventually become JUST like the very thing u hate.
always keep an open mind, try not to hold grudges..understand you have the power to change yourself and things in ur life. strive to keep positive, healthy, happy things in ur life, and u will see that the negative things have no merit in ur life~ take care, glad about your wonderful family!

I did not have a phsyically abusive Father, but one that controlled us by our fear. You can break that abusive cycle. All things are possible through Jesus. Prasie the Lord!!

i will agree...but we have to forgive our dads to be a better parent to our kids......some are doomed to repeat this cycle if they don't gain insight as you have........ forgiveness is also a lesson to be passed on to our kids..You have triumphed over something that so many are
still angry and bitter about..
We must teach that love ,and be examples of it to everyone... I agree whole heartedly.....
Thumbs up .you are an example and definately a good dad..........

I agree. But my father wasnt drunk, he would just lash out on us for no reason.
