This post was incredibly painful to write, but I did feel better when I was finished. I felt as if I had a deeper understanding of my emotions regarding the letter.

I kept wanting to close my eyes while I read this to see the picture it was painting for me, but we all know that doesn't really help with the READING, now does it? A for both content and effort, Tammy. I hope writing it helped somehow. Still more with the amazing writing.

This post was almost impossible to write and so I'm amazed I made it through to the end. It probably needs serious editing but I'll have to look it over at another time. Thanks for the kind words.

I think that many people go through life feeling that way and it truly sucks. It sounds as though your father was very troubled but what I also see is that your father loved all of you--he just loved you imperfectly and he recognized that at some point which must have made him feel hopeless to ever right the wrongs he committed against all of you. I'm glad you survived. Keep on keeping on. This is terribly heartbreaking and I’m so sorry that you feel like you have no one to share your conflicting feelings with.

I usually post as "Belle" but used "Blue" instead. Your post just got to me and I flubbed up. Sorry, Tammy. I usually post as “Belle” but used “Blue” instead.

I'm struggling with something to say but all I can come up with is that I am so sorry that your dad's demons got the best of him and that your brother had to leave. And, that I am proud of you for surviving a very difficult childhood. My heart goes out to you. Really. This is a beautiful post, Tammy.
