After reading about what our Daddy went through growing up, that man never had a chance in hell. It doesn't excuse what he did, but it gives clarity to WHY he did what he did. HURT PEOPLE, HURT PEOPLE. What a miserable way to live. I can't imagine the hell and the turmoil that must have been going on in his head ALL THE TIME. I know that no matter how good of a musician he was, no matter the accolades, no matter the admiration from the women, no matter the respect from his peers, at the end of the day Daddy had to live with himself. And I know that deep down he must have really hated himself. In the end, he did not have the courage, the tools, or the ability to overcome his demons. We are our Father's children. The way that he abused us and the dysfunctional paths that we took differed but the result was that at our core, we reflected the self-hate and lack of self-worth that Daddy instilled in us and perhaps had for himself. We carried that around for years and years allowing it to affect our lives and the lives of those around us. Fortunately, we were able to have people who came into our lives who would eventually show us that there was actually light at the end of the tunnel. That all life didn't have to be despair. But all they could really do was point the way. The crucial work of healing had to begin from within and by taking an honest look deep into the depths of our very souls. It is probably the hardest thing for an individual to do but it has to be done in order to break the cycle of dysfunction. It takes a great deal of courage and humility to look at yourself in the mirror and to accept it ALL, the good, the bad, and the ugly, without judgment, just pure acceptance. However, it is the first step to HEALING, to SELF-RESPECT and ultimately SELF-ACTUALIZATION.
