This week already feels amazing and it’s only just started! I hope that you feel the same way about your week ahead as well!
Today we are continuing our discussion about your relationship with me, your father.
I will tell you ahead of time that some of what you read or have already read, may make you feel uncomfortable, but I can assure you that all of what you read will be true.
While it is definitely not my objective to make you uncomfortable, I do understand that progress lies just outside of your comfort zone. In this case, that progress starts with the truth, which can be very, very uncomfortable.
One truth that you will be most uncomfortable with is the fact that a person that you have trusted more than anyone in the world has not told you the truth about your father. In fact, that person has done quite the opposite of the truth and as a result has deprived you and I of many years of a wonderful father and son relationship. Now, I’m not bringing this up so that you will hate or despise that person for not being truthful with you. Quite the contrary. I want you to continue to love and respect that person for the right that they have done and the positive impact they have had on your life. I know that that statement goes against modern society’s seemingly insatiable appetite for resentment, bitterness, and vengefulness, but fortunately you and I expect more from ourselves than we expect from society as a whole.
As your father, I do realize that the truth could possibly be more than you can handle. Personally, I believe you are strong enough to hear and process the truth, because you’re smart enough to want all and not just part of the information.
Let’s continue this discussion at a later date. I’m certainly looking forward to it and I hope that you are too!
Well, that’s all for now!
Have an amazing day and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Dad
