It all comes down to emotional abuse. Children being ignored by their parents. The hole it rips in our hearts is massive. And yet, the only way is forgiveness once we realize it was never us, but them.

But it's a long way of healing. Keep walking. If you're curious in my story ... It's called "Hi dad, its been a while".

Writing about it is part of the healing I guess. I meet my dad in meditations sometimes. Happy as a frog! That's the dad I could have loved to the moon and back.

Thank you for sharing your story. Sending you a big hug from New Zealand ❤
