Christmas went well
it was a delight
now sitting, looking
for answers and insight
After the visit
with my dad
sorrowful feelings
are mine to be had
Out of my life
but not my head
it's best I just
lay these issues to bed
Easier said than done
I will surely say
when his abusive words have
no affect, that'll be the day

A person like a parent is always in your mind and life in some way or another. So, I do not know if the day will ever arrive when the words from an abusive parent or family member will no longer impact a child. Best thing is not to become a person like that. That is what I have done. Excellent job, Christina!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. At least in this case it is entirely possible for him to stay out of my life and this is the last poem he requires. Thanks again!
Welcome!
You will never forget the pain, but forgiveness is a gift to yourself.
I agree with WBL break the cycle. peace & joy ww
Thank you so much for your kind reply and words of wisdom.
In all these situations CHRIS ~ the choice is ours. I have never been abused by a Family Member ~ but the situation is even hard when it is some one you considered a Friend ~ especially when they cross your PATH. Thinking of you and praying for you 24/7. Every Blessing & Hugs ~ Yours as always BRIAN
Yes, happier poems from now on. He doesn't deserve the energy it takes to write about him. Forgiveness is key. No more crossing paths though. Thanks for your well needed prayers! Hugs back--Christina
As you know better than I do CHRIS ~ Poetry is very CATHARTIC (venting clears your mind and makes you feel better) Every Blessing in the future ~ Love & Hugs in the SPIRIT ~ Monkey Brian
Really good
Poem Chrissy
I like it very much
My early years
Were shaped by
Something that
Doesn't deserve
To have a title
Parent....
I have wrote a
Poem but as yet
Don't have the
Courage to post.
Thank you for
This poem....
