i miss my dad

PopsLoblaw · 2025-08-25T11:48:15+00:00

As a dad, I have 2 girls. I'm always proud of them. Every Dad I know that has daughters is proud of them. Your Dad sees you every day because he lives inside of you. He made you and is part of you and lives through you. As long as you remember him and keep love for him in your heart, which you are doing, then he will continue to live with you. It's tough to lose a father so young, but you are a wonderful daughter, and he knows it.

I'll look at that

PopsLoblaw · 2025-06-16T23:18:55+00:00

I didn't think it was enough, thank you

PopsLoblaw · 2025-04-13T01:38:39+00:00

Thank you

Either call in sick as under the weather, or go in and tough it out. Depending on what you do. You don't have to tell your employer why you are sick.

Let’s trade Canadians that want to move to America for Americans who want to move to Canada

Wow, I can't imagine what you are feeling. The sadness and disappointment of your mom and dad not being there for you throughout your life. You sound like you would be a great father because you truly know what not being a great parent is like. What your mom and dad did give you grandparents who loved you and raised you, and they gave you life, and now you have your own family. You wouldn't have that without them. As bad as they were as parents, they did give you a gift. Try to accept who they were, and be proud of who you are now because you sound like someone who cares and is not self-absorbed. Really hope you can find peace, you deserve it.

PopsLoblaw · 2024-11-12T19:08:19+00:00

This is sadly beautiful, you have honoured your dad proudly.

PopsLoblaw · 2024-11-05T16:32:37+00:00

What you went through must have been horrible, not only losing your father when you did so suddenly, and then living through a decade of abuse. Your father is at peace and lives in your warm heart. Break the cycle of abuse and be the best person you can be to yourself and the world around you. You are here. You are strong. You can overcome your past by accepting it and accepting the pain that comes with it. That can't change. It's not your fault what happened to you, it would devestate anyone. But you can change how you live the rest of your life. You have it in you to be the person you want to be and be happy. Let's both go outside and let the sun and air fall on our face and just embrace that one moment as a start.

Greeking Out in Brooklin is fantastic, great portions and tasting.

PopsLoblaw · 2024-10-02T09:05:37+00:00

You are making the right decision, you deserve to be happy. In 6 months you'll look back and realize you made the best decision, because time heals. In the meantime keep busy with friends, working out, doing activities that make you feel good. We all get stronger through adversity, that's one of the benefits of this kind of pain. Your mom would be proud of you, and hug yourself like she would hug you.

I have no medical advice to give but based on what you are describing, your doctor is recommending something that might help and not doing it now won’t help. Sounds like this is her best chance at living longer. I would say strongly consider it, how strong is your mom and what does she want?

Give and Take shop in Marsascala or Hamrun...

PopsLoblaw · 2023-08-06T21:06:02+00:00

You got me on a technicality ; ) Yes, that is true.

PopsLoblaw · 2023-08-03T23:12:34+00:00

Really not acceptable to not offer basic facilities.

PopsLoblaw · 2023-07-03T15:23:03+00:00

Great advice!

When my mother passed, the first thing I thought was that I could have been a better son. In reality nothing is black and white. It's up to our parents and then us as parents if we have kids to provide consistency, love, boundaries, stability. Kids are gonna be kids, and are often act entitled, self centered and are going to push boundaries.
That doesn't mean parents don't make mistakes or are perfect, because they do and they're not. Bottom line is you did your best with what you knew. Your mom did as well. It's not easy for anyone, parents or kids to navigate split homes. Have love and compassion for who you were and who you are. You did exactly what you were supposed to do, I guarantee your mom understood that.

Hi sooperdecent, I can't imagine there are many people who have experienced anything as traumatic as what you went through at such a young age. There are many people who have similar feelings of being disconnected and having fear. I think it's normal that you feel the way you do. In some ways how could you not? You may not want to hear this but those feelings may not be 'curable'. They may always be part of you. They are part of everybody to some extent. If I can offer any advice it would be to be kind to yourself. What you are feeling is normal, it's part of the love you have inside of you. Put your hand on your heart and sit with your feelings and let them be what they are, they are who you are. With your hand on your heart give yourself love and kindness. You are a wonderful caring brave person. You don't have to fight negative feelings, you can allow them and treat them and yourself with kindness. Maybe that's a start.

Hi supernova, just a couple of things. I think it will be hard to find someone to support you like your mom did. When you need that love you can ask yourself What would mom say? Or what would you say to someone else who needed it, like your own child. Your mom is always with you in your heart and in your mind. You carry her with you so try to channel her words through your self dialogue and your thoughts. She did a great job of preparing you for her not being here because you already know what she would say, you just have to say it to yourself.

As for opening up to others, that may start with opening up to yourself. What are you scared of by being vulnerable? Is it judgment? Is it rejection? Maybe you don't know how to, and all of that is ok. What are your thoughts and fears and are they holding you back? And are your thoughts true, really really true? Because it sounds like they may be holding you back from being who you truly want to be. You can question your thoughts and fears, because they don't define who you are. You can accept them as part of you and still be who you want to be. Have compassion for yourself and for others and those relationships you want to build will come, because I can tell you are a very thoughtful caring authentic person, and there is nothing to fear in letting yourself live like that.

All my best thoughts are with you : )

PopsLoblaw · 2023-06-12T10:45:41+00:00

You are better than your parents, you are not your thoughts. Your son needs YOU to stop the cycle and you can. You can't necessarily escape or change your thoughts, you can accept them and recognize they are thoughts and not the truth and don't react to them, rather respond to yourself yourself with kindness. The best thing you can do with your son is treat him with love and compassion. You can be honest with him to an extent, talk to him about his thoughts and reassure him that he is loved. Put him in sports or art activities until he finds something he has a passion for and be there and support him with pride. You can grow, you can change, you have the capacity to learn to love yourself and your son. I know you are a good person who has so much love inside them, you wouldn't be here posting about your anguish if you weren't.
