Wisdom From The Heart

When I was young my father was amazing, he played with me, gave me positive attention and was very supportive as I was still taking the first steps into life. He was simply the best and those years will always remain in my heart and memories. When I grew older my father changed. He became dismissive, rejected me, was dominant, verbally agressive and emotionally unavailable. All due to his own trauma’s from childhood and the lack of love he received.

But after many years being on the path of inner healing and resolving my trauma’s, as well as my personal as ancestral, I realize my dad always did the best he could with what he himself was given in his own childhood. His love was always there, his heart was hurt but he still tried to give me what he could with the little that he received himself.

I can now see and feel his love more deeply and I am grateful for the lessons he has brought me. Even though they have been challenging I was pushed to look beyond the surface and to delve into my own rich innerworld.

Perhaps this is not the traditional dad hero story that some people have had the luck to experience but he played a huge part in me being the happy and wholesome person I am today.  And for that he is my hero. ❤️
