:heart: A very nice poem Angel and felt..

Many a parent here as everywhere has other old age fighting their presents or self abusives that they cannot stop doing..BUT that parent is who and why WE were even born. So in THAT we grow and feel their sufferings no-matter, their reasons.

My dad was an abusive drunk,,no feelings for anyone not even himself..But when he about died he tried to be human,it was to late for all his children to EVER forgive him so he passed that away. And never to say I love you to a soul..AND we all NEVER felt that nor heard that from him.. I have never lost any sleep with knowing he did have his own type of love for us all at his last 5 years of living..But that ability to not say I LOVE YOU
in him,,,MADE ME raise mine saying it ALWAYS,lol,,so through his bad as a parent he taught me never to abuse, or be a drunk, or not to tell another how you feel...

When a group of words opens a heart and mind, then it should be seen as a one-of-a-kind.........lol:heart:



Ty for sharing your thoughts and your story Terry :heart:

I have to agree....no matter how limited some parents can be, there is always something very important we can learn from them....whether they know it or not, they are teaching, right to the very end of their lives.

They are teaching...and whether considered "negative" or "positive," what they teach is gift if we truly look into the depth of what is being communicated by them.
