why didnt you protect me
'he's a dog
but he's dressed up like a sheep
got bones all through the back yard
but he likes to drink tea
and I travel through the door way
and i thought I'd be fine
but its not the way its going to go this time
Daddy why don't you protect me
someones gonna hurt me
there's nothing I can do
and all this time i needed you
and all this time i wanted you
you can't hear me now'
This song is by Julia Stone and wow does it sum up how I feel about my 'lack' of a Dad and all the crazy bfs I've had.........

I like it and can relate to it too. Thanks so much for sharing this! xxxxx
I had a realization recently in which I was looking in the mirror and suddenly saw my Dad at my age, with his self-absorption, his own agenda, his own limited perceptions, and I realized that he was not always the Daddy I needed. He did not always make me feel safe & secure.
He was just a man ... just a man with flaws and imperfections...
...and I realized, if I say something flippantly or without thinking... here on DS or elsewhere, and someone takes it to heart and \"unfriends\" me (which has happened on Facebook many times) ... do I know my impact on them? do I want that responsibility? Is it for me to constantly own. Am I onstage at all times, having to be the perfect friend? the perfect listener?
I cannot always be impeccable with my words and sometimes people get hurt. They read into something I say, or I am short-fused because I had a bad day myself, and don\'t take the time to be aware of how my behavior affects someone else...
I looked in the mirror and for just that moment, I was able to let go of the Daddy I needed, the Daddy I wanted . . .
to quote Louise Hay (\"You can heal your Life\"):
\"I forgive you for not being the way I wanted you to be. I forgive you and set you free.\" (this then sets us free)
Sorry you\'re hurtin\'...
