Thank you for sharing…I guess you meeting your dad is an important step towards healing. You should be proud of yourself,having managed to develop to such a sympathetic person in spite of your traumatic childhood. Good luck!! And all the best!!❤
love you dude 💙 1) thanks for sharing 2) this shows the core of your heart and how pure it is. the fact that you grew up with this stuff and have blossomed into the man you are is admirable!
You are so brave opening up like this! So helpful to hear people process their childhoods and learn from them. You are strong and doing a great job leading your family! Keep up the great work!
The thing about bad things in childhood being a blue print of how not to act as an adult really resonated with me. I’m grateful for bad childhood experiences in a way as I believe they’ve made me a better person. I hope the family visit goes well, you seem to have a good attitude towards it either way 😊.
What an honour to hear your story, that took a lot of courage and bravery to bear your heart and soul about your upbringing. Our formative years can have such a profound impact on our adult lives, which is so sad and difficult when perhaps those early years were not filled with love, stability, feelings of safety, respect and positive role models. It is wonderful that you grew to be the man you are despite all the obstacles you encountered. Your endeavours to try and prevent the same instability and heartache in your marriage and your children’s upbringing is truly commendable. I wish you continued strength, courage and fortitude to continue on this path, and by the Grace of God, may you succeed. I hope that your visit from your Father is one of healing, love and hope and building sound foundations for your future lives. Take care, keep strong! 🙏🏻🤞🏻👏🏻
So great acknowledging that trauma … and it’s clear you’ve already forgiven & have moved forward being an amazing family man and inspiration to all of us. Just one thing - take a little time every day to do something enjoyable for YOU so you can recharge. I pray for you every day - wonderful times ahead!
My roommate is Persian. She moved to the U.S. about 25 years ago. Still not used to American ways. I pray things go well with you and your dad. I relate to the childhood trauma and weight thing, but yep, it is our responsibility now.
I had a crap childhood as well with too many traumas, and like you, I took them and used them as a blueprint of what not to do, and how not to be. But I also forgave and moved past the traumas because I refuse to let them interfere with who I am and how I live as an individual and parent. I’ve seen too many people ruin their lives because of their own traumas and I’ve seen traumas make some people ugly drunks who let out their emotions only when their drinking and it makes for a spoiled get together where the alcohol wasn’t even at the forefront, like a toasting event and they downed all the empties. I never want to let anyone or anything have control over me like that!
Love you bro. Your an amazing human and it’s impressive your honesty about this challenging journey your on. ❤🔥
