If I got a 3.00, (which is the passing grade) he doesn't care. All he wants for me is to pass and then he gives me compensation. Then I got a grade of 5.00 (the failing grade) but he still gives me everything. I'm grateful for having a Dad like him. Maybe he wouldn't get to read this and maybe he'll never know what I think.<BR/><BR/>Maybe that's what your Dad thinks about you too. Except he's the daughter in my case and you're the father. <BR/><BR/>Much Love,HalfCrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04649739223783471903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-85411875488876694612009-02-11T04:47:00.000-08:002009-02-11T04:47:00.000-08:00i didn't know you have a strange relationship with...i didn't know you have a strange relationship with your dad. i know it is hard because i've been through a lot as well.

My father and mother were both alcoholics and my childhood was one of constant degradation and violence.<BR/><BR/>But, I truly believe that God puts all obstacles in our life for a reason. If we over come those obstacles as you have done so well....well, we wind up with a person with a beautiful heart such as you.<BR/><BR/>Blessings my friend:-)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378896151545384221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-13519779479810692402009-02-10T06:21:00.000-08:002009-02-10T06:21:00.000-08:00What a powerful post!

A book I highly recommend is, "Healing is a Choice" by Stephen Arterburn. There is a workbook with it too, and it is good alone or with a group. My husband and I participated in a group study/discussion of this book, and it was an amazing experience. You learn so much about yourself.<BR/><BR/>Stop by for your Lemonade Award!Tina @ The Zoo Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11691278635181403957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-88750992226281111512009-02-10T01:04:00.000-08:002009-02-10T01:04:00.000-08:00Hi Shawie,You are tagged at my K.I.S.S. blog.

I don't normally do tags especially if it's about me personally but this one is different and I can't resist doing it since it's a Christian tag. I always want to spread God's message of love around the world. Please do the tag not for me but for Christ. Thank you very much and God bless you always.Mel Avila Alarillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166954063114607598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-32199190329120135722009-02-09T14:34:00.000-08:002009-02-09T14:34:00.000-08:00this is a sad story for me to know sis. i am sorry...this is a sad story for me to know sis. i am sorry if u have this kind of situation with your father. i always envy peers who still have their fathers these days. but i am looking at it like they have the same situation like i used to have before my father passed away. if it's the other way around, like what u have right now, i think i will never get it. i am fortunate to have a very strong and tight bonding with my papa before. i am a papa's girl and so when he died, it seemed like it was the end of the world. but i am fine now. i look at my experience as one that nobody else had been through and i am darn lucky for it.<BR/><BR/>i may never understand your case but i hope all will be well between you and ur dad before it's too late. :)<BR/><BR/>regards!""rarejonRez""https://www.blogger.com/profile/03261136854557692498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-40218157690076814502009-02-09T12:50:00.000-08:002009-02-09T12:50:00.000-08:00Hi Shawie,All people have their individual weaknes...Hi Shawie,<BR/>All people have their individual weaknesses. Who doesn't have? Your father may have his frustrations in life and he covers it up by drinking. But the fact still remains that he loves all of you very much. He may just be the reserve type of person who is not showy with his feelings. I'm sure he misses you so much when he does not see you. Show him you love him in your own way and he will definitely respond to that. You have but one father. Perfect or imperfect, he is still your father. Thanks for the honest post. God bless you and your loved ones always.Mel Avila Alarillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166954063114607598noreply@blogger.com
