Needing a Daddy
Updated: Oct 7
My father abandoned Mom and I without ever looking back when I was two. Mom said she didn't know where he went, and we had no contact with him at all. She was so mad at him for leaving that she threw away all of his pictures, so there was no reminder of him in our house. I have no memory of my father, and I grew up with only my Mom as a caregiver. She tried her best, but there was always a nagging sense of loss in my life. I had no real male influence, apart from my maternal grandfather, who lived 5 hours away.
