GgirlBgirl Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 So I called my dad yesterday and told him how I was moving in with a friend. Dad: oh I thought at first you were going to say you were moving in with the boyfriend. Me: no, we broke up. I told him the details and how I handled it, finishing with how I told the ex he doesn't deserve me. My dad was so proud of me. Dad: now I know I raised you right. I'm proud of how you were able to tell him that he didn't deserve you. You know, your mom had a feeling he wasn't the one for you which is why we didn't come to visit earlier in the summer to meet him. It didn't feel right to her. I teared up with my dad telling me words of wisdom from a guys perspective, how sorry he was that I was hurt but it was him who was missing out. I know that it's just the words of a dad comforting his daughter but it really helped a lot him acknowledging that I was hurting but that he is proud of how dealt with him. I am very lucky and my life is filled with so much love. I need to hold on to this moment when I feel sad, weak, feel like I need to break NC. My dad's words renewed my conviction that this BU was best for me, no matter how it came to be.
arbrne_vet Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 a father daughter bond is one of the strongest bonds in the world. i have a daughter, and she is my little girl, and always will be. i can deduce by what you posted that that your father feels the same way about you. My daughter gave me a little "craft" thingy (guy description!!). this is what it said, "Daddy, someday i may find my prince, but you will always be my king" You found you have gained so much more than you lost!
