why does it hurt so much?
Posted by anonymous in Family on Nov 20th, 2007 | 2 commentsmy “father” was kicked out of our home when I was 11. He never spent time with us or sent us anything. He had left us 7 kids and our mom to fend for ourselves.
I had seen him 3 times since then. When I was first married (he acted like he was there all alog). Once when he visited my sister and once when he was on his death bed.
I am now 51. Why does it hurt when we went through his stuff to get it all ready to sell? Especially the photos of him and his wife, who he had an affair with before he was out of our home, going on cruises and the like wwhile we were left literally living on day old Dunkin Doughnuts that my mom would bring home from her overnight job?
She had to work so hard to raise us all.
His wife would claim that she was a brave woman for what she did. The nerve of her!
Why does this all hurt so much still?

My father left when I was one year old, but he was not totally to blame. My mother lied about him and never wanted me around cause “I reminded her of him”. She always had derogatory things to say about him. I’m older than you and feel the same way you do. I never got over it.
there’s a lot people like us out there. my father cheated on my mom when I was 5 and my sister was 8. they’ve been separated for over 15 years. I used to see him more often when I was a kid. but after his son was born, he stopped visiting us. now, I only see him for my birthday, my sister’s birthday and xmas.
Actually, he didn’t show up for this xmas. I agree with you, it does hurt, a lot. and I don’t think one ever gets over it. children should never suffer that kind of loss, where your parent leaves you because he/she can’t keep it in his pants.
