When I read the article, "What Little Girls Wish Daddies Knew", (link HERE)my heart broke. That picture above? I should have had that. I should have had a dad that loved me, and showed me he delighted in me, that supported me, and hugged me when I cried. But I didn't. I had a father that emotionally and physically abused my mother and I until I was 4, when my parents divorced. My mother and I lived paycheck to paycheck and still struggle with money. All the while, my father was living on a retired Air Force salary and living in a near-mansion. He had supervised visitation until I was about 7/8. Then he could finally see me alone until I was 9/10 when he arrived with his new wife as a sort of surprise. He hasn't talked to me since.
I have lived my whole childhood hating my father for what he did. I have acted out in a sort of rebellion against this disappointment. I've tried to figure out why he would do this.
Overall I have come to the simple conclusion. My situation isn't something for me to dwell on or blame others for or mistreat myself for. As are many things, my situation is just another thing that Satan stole from this world. He has stole many great and beautiful things from this world. He continues to taint the forests with deforestation, he ruins the ocean with oil spills, and tears down women's self-esteem constantly in an effort to strip God's world of the beauty he lost.
And I refuse to let Satan taint my heart with hatred and sadness. God is my Father. The PERFECT father. Who's love never fails. So screw you Satan. I AM loved. And no amount of evil from you will change that.
Every girl deserves to feel like a princess. And I am GOD'S princess.
