I was recently disowned by my father because I disrespected him for being too critical of my life (I'm 22 year old grown man) and he could never tell me the truth about what he did to my mother. I have friends and other external family that are supportive, but I still feel really empty, any advice?

ReplyI know how your feeling to be honest, I have been disowned by my father because I turn out to be a girl and not a guy, he left. It was Hard and still hurt as hell because that's your parent, but after awhile you just got to tell yourself that you won't let it bring you down, you can forgive him for his actions. But I don't think that empty feeling will ever leave you, because I still feel hurt. I honestly don't know what else to say, since I have been living without my dad for 19 years now. Just got to be strong and keep your head up.
ReplyI can sympathize with you wanting to have that relationship with your father. I've always been brought up that family is an important thing to have in your life, but the older I get and meet different people, my opinions have further changed. Sometimes you also have to think about it this way, don't become like the man your father is. If he's done something wrong as you've said he's done then use that to become a better person to your future kids. As for a support system, your friends and other family members are important to keep around. Finding those core groups of people will help you fill the void of your emptiness. I've often found doing something to give back to your community is a great way to feel useful. Be a kind person, help others, and you'll find satisfaction in knowing that you made a difference in someone else's life.
