To the Ladies of Help.com be you 13 or 43

Today I went on a walk with some friends of my daughter. I had the pleasure to share the company of my daughters 11 year old friend. What I was amazed at was how this little angel’s father could turn away from such a sweet little girl. A father is not a man should he abandon his child.

Be you 13 or 43, this is for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TvMEG...

Too often we men can forget that your heart is so very different from ours. Please understand that not all of us (men) want to forget this, and some of us REALLY do try. And trust me… many of us want nothing more than to know you are OK. Want nothing more than to hold you when you want to be held.

Just remember ~
Never stop believing in yourself.
Every tear has a reason.
You can find strength in the struggle…
and there IS beauty in the breaking …

As the divorced father of 3 girls, I struggle daily to know your heart … so far I simply know how beautiful it is.

Love ~ Richard

If your dad is out of your life by choice, then HE is the crazy one! If he’s not away from you by choice I’m sorry… and pray you can find the comfort you need, when you need it.

My husbands’s dad just died and I dont even know what to say to him, when my dad dies, my life wont be the same, he has stuck up for me so many times and come running so many times when I needed it, I dont know how I am gonna cope. I think even the dads that are not in their children’s lives, will regret it big time one day, most probably when they are old and no one cares about them. Oh and Richard, your daughters are so lucky to have a dad like you and they are happy too, you can see it in their smiles in that photo, but do you know especially where that happiness is evident? in YOUR smile

Rich, you’re girls are very lucky to have you as their father.

Gary, here is the quote you asked about…

When the Japanese mend broken objects, they repair the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something’s suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful.

My dad and i have never really known what its like to have a relationship. I connet with him on one level. Sports. and if our team loses, he doesnt want to talk about anything anymore. So to see a man like you be so caring and loving shows that there is good in the world. And thank you for showing me that, you have been blessed with beautiful children, and a beautiful heart

*hugs*

Hi dizzy… I will take a stab at this, until Richard comes back to answer for him self.

Start to see yourself as Christ sees you. Finished. Complete. Lacking nothing. Pure. Faithful. Just. and every good thing that you can think of.

He sees the finished product.

We have been dealt a handful of untruths, over the years.

People speaking negative things into our lives.

Then we allowed them to become a reality.

A self fullfilling prophecy, if you will.

We have to rise up to the task, of defeating everything that exalts itself above the Christ that is within us.

I say this, with the belief that you are a believer.

I made a post one time, of things that the spirit wants us to dwell on.

I will see if I can find it and post it again.

I like that Silverwings - cute :D well done

Ive had to find my self a few times before and start loving myself again. I used self affirmation thou. I’d stand in front of a mirror and pick things about myself that I like - and also wot I did during the day that I was proud of. Pick 10+ things - it may be hard to start but eventually as the love grows it will be easy - trust me :D

I’m sorry but I am not christian… do you mind editing your next post once you have found it, so it is a little more “general.”

But I do appreciate your reply… thanks. :)

Ditzy self affirmations can be a great way to help yourself, even with Christ as my guide I have used self affirmations to help myself through a very rough period.

Dizzy, you don’t have to be a Christian to accept valuable information and being a strong believer in Christ, I’m not sure it’s possible for Silverwings to edit Christ out.

LMAO…. OMG, this is so funny! I LOVE women. If anything I am guilty of holding them in TOO high a regard.

What is creepy is the way you stalk me, and the way you hide behind the mask of Anonymous, when your screen-name is not even your own name and you are anonymous to me already. You just don’t want to be public when you spew your vile libel, because then your friend will see through the mask you wear every day. I do pity you.

At least one part of your reply was correct. You DON’T KNOW. You know very little as a matter of fact. You hang out here not because you can help anyone, it’s your way of finding young women and stalking them. You are creepy.
Ohhh and by the way… my name is Richard in case you missed it.

Richard. I think we can both guess who that slimeball is.

Why does ‘this person’ find you creepy ? Because he envies you. For all the lady attention you get!

Why do you get this attention from us women? Because i don’t think i/we have ever respected someone as much as you.

You are a pure gentleman. Your admiration for women, and they way you try to understand our crazyness! Should be celebrated and congratulated.

This person blatently craves the life you lead so well. And wishes he could get the admiration you have achieved from us, without harassing women.

I know you already know this, but some people in life find the only way they can come to terms with their jealousy, is by mocking or insulting someone they feel is better than them.

But people like that never earn respect that way. And until they learn to do so, i can guess they will remain anonymous.
