I feel so much pain
Today I learned something about my dad. I feel like my whole relationship with him is a lie and I feel completely lost. What all has he lied about? Why is this happening to me? I feel so sick and lonely and so drained. I thought that although my parents had me so young and aren't together I had the most functioning family...but it was covering up some horrible truths. I am so devastated that I have been lied to for so long. I don't even know if I can say what he did out loud. I have been mad at the wrong parent and defending the wrong parent for so many years and he sat back and watched me do it. I am so sick. Why is this happening?

Whatever happened is in the past and isn\'t your fault. People are complicated, including the ones we love, and our parents. They have their own reasons for doing things that make sense to them, or made sense to them at the time.
The past cannot be changed. This entry was cryptic and I\'m just trying to give you some supportive words. I hope you feel better soon.
