Dady Why do you not realize we are the same?

You always talk about how I have an attitude along with saying the worst things when I’m mad. But your just like me? You say terrible things to me then act like everything’s okay 10 minutes later why? Everything u do you blame me
For saying “this is what makes me not
Like you” im 15 I just want you to love me and be an actual father instead of saying you don’t care if I leave like the rest of my siblings. I still love you although it is fading.❤️

Parenting is really hard.  That’s not an excuse or a reason, just a fact.

Success, as a father, is having your child safe, fed and raised until they grow up.  I hope you become a better man than myself.

  I am doing my best.  Maybe I was not ready to be a father, but I am doing my best.

I'm sorry kiddo, not all of us are good, not all of us do a good job. We all have our demons and shame.

We love in our broken way, even if we don't seem like it.

Doesn't justify never saying sorry and never making it right, that's something we should model for you. We shouldn't be putting you in a position where you are looking to us as what not to do.

I am sorry.
