💙Happy Father’s Day💙

HAPPY FATHERS’ DAY!! And a special shoutout to:
all the fathers who can’t be with their children;
all the children who can’t be with their mothers; and those whose dreams of fatherhood did not come true! 💝

Father’s Day sucks

I had a really bad childhood. Both parents were very abusive, but my father was the scariest.
I woke up this morning to a flashback of my 6’4” father standing over me. It was like he was in the damn room.
I’m trying to keep my brain busy and be present, but I’m having a hard time staying if of the “this isn’t fair” place.
I don’t wish this on anyone, but I’m grateful someone else can relate #CPTSD #FathersDay

Not so Daddy’s Day…

Father’s Day…. Very difficult for me. My father was around when I was little, I just wished he wasn’t. He wasn’t good for any of us least of all myself. I still carry all the trauma from my early years from him, though it weighs me down less and less due to some heavy counseling. Now here it is Father’s Day and I have to follow tradition and get him a card? Haha. Let’s see here, “you’re the best dad…” Nope. “I’m so glad to have you in my corner…” Not even close. “You’ve always been there for me…” I don’t think so… Don’t they have any cards for those of us who had crappy dads? Something that just says Happy Fathers Day and that’s it?
I guess not.

So I’ll settle for my fall back and just text him, though he forgot my birthday so maybe I won’t.

I hate any of these decisions regarding my dad… why does this day still have to hurt?

The Power of Love

How do I put into words what it is that I am feeling right now? I am confused and wishing I could be just neutral.

I went shopping a little while ago, and on my way home my husband called me. He told me I should not have went shopping and spent money. I bought him some things for father's day and when I mentioned I got him some things, he became upset. It is because I don't have a job. He was upset with me about us having one income and going shopping.

He told me to not put up roadblocks into me finding a job, or doing what it is that I want to do. Professionalism is not something that comes easy for me, and with my mental health issues it's harder than that of a person without them. It is not an excuse to stay where I am, but it does not make it as easy as someone else's level of difficulty. I know everyone experiences difficulties. I swear it will be OK. I just have to find something that I love to do and go for it.

Today is a day of mixed emotions. It's driving me nuts... But it's something that I have to deal with. I am hoping for a better tomorrow since today is a Mix of a Mess and a Blessing.

Take Care.
