Long ago I gave up reading fiction. Time is precious, so I chose carefully what to read & what to watch on the TV. It really pains me to read how much you suffered at the hands of your father. How I wish I knew what you were going through, perhaps I could have helped you in some way.
My father was a very kind & loving human being. He was not rich but I saw him empty his purse to someone who was in need . You have described your journey in a very brutally honest manner- there are several sections in it that I can relate to personally. You have much to be grateful for. So praise God. Continue the good work that you are doing. God Bless you and your family.
