Hello Amy:
I’m SO GLAD you wrote.
That feeling of safety and knowing the world is a little more safe, that letting down the guilt or the conflict on Father’s Day.
EXHALE!
Not that it’s easy.
Thank you for thanking me for being real and raw as well. For me, when vulnerable, unless it’s real or raw I don’t believe it or feel it and take it in. So I try to stay there even though it’s vulnerable. BECAUSE it’s vulnerable. Hopefully it’s helpful. That’s the goal!
As for your recent bad-choice-man, I will just say continue on your path. It’s hard and it can feel like failure but I honestly believe we are ALL always growing and that’s true in and out of crisis and in and out of “good” or “bad” relationships. I’m not saying healthy isn’t a goal but that we are doing the best we can and keep it up!!!! I’m sending warmth and love and light right back. Transitions can be trying. Be as gentle with yourself as possible.
Cissy
P.S. Isn’t it funny when life has another plan for us than we have when it comes to having kids or, well, anything???

I have been following your blog since you wrote the woman published on TWLOHA. I shared that one and read it frequently. I am the forty-something woman I was looking for and my hope is to help. After this one, however, I know I have to reach out to you and just say thank you. My abuser/father died many many years ago. He was only 48 but his passing made me feel safe – like finally I could move on. Finally no one else could be harmed by him. No more guilt-ridden father’s days. I want to thank you for being REAL for sharing, for being RAW. I never wanted a kid – I wanted to foster, but had a beautiful perfect daughter at 33. I am in the midst of leaving yet another bad-life choice man. You are an inspiration. And you know, I know that my abusers’ dying was the best thing that could happen to my family.
With Love& Light,
Amy Aumick
