I'm so sorry to hear this. And this site is here to be supportive when you need it.
It sounds as though you are spending so much emotional energy trying to forgive and understand your father, but please think about prioritising yourself...

Well done with this, Penny -
Posted on Thu, 01 Jul 2021
Well done with this, Penny - still loving it! I particularly enjoy the way you blend the modern - ordering online and the car - with something very very much older. And all the lovely details which really bring the characters and the setting to...

Reading your poems is always
Posted on Thu, 04 Feb 2021
Reading your poems is always such a treat, because not only is there the wonderful poetry itself, but you always give those marvellous extra links, and I end up learning things - I didn't know the word asterism before now! Thanks, as always, for...

Brought back so many memories
Posted on Tue, 15 Dec 2020
Brought back so many memories! The feeling of pleasure when you've found something they like doing and that will keep them occupied. The feeling of hysteria when they like it so much you're doing it or reading that story for the 240th time! ...
