Why am I like this????

I was only six when my mother died from bleeding abdomen. My three brothers and I were left to be cared for by my father. Growing up without my mother was really hard, many times I would cry myself to sleep hoping she will return. I had a hard time accepting the fact that she is GONE for good. I struggled through out elementary and high school. I always felt like something was missing.

When my mom died a lot of people started telling us that my father cheated on my mother? I mean who tells a six year old that? Obviously a person without a damn soul. I was intrigued at the fact they even brought it up i mean they are family members. Ever since that day my life has been a living hell. My comfort would be my brothers. We left our house and moved in with our grandparents (dads side) because my uncle (moms brother) wanted to take our house apart and build a guest house. Since my father is married into the family he didn't have much to say.

I was mad at my uncle for even considering this after all both of my parents worked hard to maintain the house for us. I was even more mad at my dad for letting my uncle get away with it. Living with my grandparents was okay, it wasn't the best idea but at the moment it seemed right. My father was hardly around when we stayed with our grandparents and I HATED him for that. We were always bullied by my aunts and uncle and he was never around to stop it.

My mothers side of the family would always say to come and live with them. At first i thought it would be a great idea but as time passed i couldn't stand the fact that they were trying to brainwash us on how our father does not LOVE us. Everybody has something negative to say as if a positive compliment would kill them. A lot of people think that my brothers and I will not make it in life because we CHOSE our father over them.

Did they honestly think we were going to leave the ONE man who gave us everything???? I mean they had issues with my father, but does it make it right by telling us his own kids to leave him? My brothers and I have heard a lot of rumors and never ending "negative" comments about our father. Hearing all of it made us love our father even more. I mean to us he has done nothing wrong and his only sin was LOVING us his kids from the woman he loved and said "I DO" to in front of a lot of people. He would get frustrated at times and go out with his friends have male bonding time and to us it was okay, to others they see it as abandon and claim we were better off. When my mother died our father started taking drugs as a way of comfort, nothing drastic just drinking and smoking out. I never told my dad that all of us knew what he was doing, it was his way of dealing with out mothers death and I was fine by it. As we got older our father stopped smoking out and I am happy for that.

I am now 22 years old and can honestly say that my life is on the right track. I have my priorities straight and my view of life is quite clear and i owe it all to my father. He is the reason why i am who i am. Everyday he reminds us that his love is unconditional, that he wants nothing but the best for us. Every achievement i gotten was dedicated to my father. I want to succeed in life so i could take care of my father. I hope and pray that I will make him happy that's all i want in this life. My dad is everything to me. He is my LIFE! I love my brothers they are my SANITY.

DADDY I PROMISE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY:)


Lots of love:
Your Only daughter!
