Dad
The only time you were my father
Was in my imagination
The only time you gave me food
Was when I earned it
The only time you held my hand
Was to hold me down
The only time you touched my face
Was to beat me
The only time you bathed my skin
Was to wash away your sins
The only time you wrapped your arms around me
Was to hurt me
The only time you ever loved me
Was not a time I recall at all

He was horrible to you. That man was NO father. He never did anything to deserve to be called a father. What he did to you was unforgivable.
Just devastates me to think of any child living thru this nightmare. I am so honored to be able to read your story and am proud that you had a way to share your story so that hopefully people will open their eyes to an epidemic that is far too common.
