Kids who have both of their parents have no idea how truly lucky they are.

[@jamilettechavez2143]

unless they abuse you

[@avawilliams5827]

+Jamilette Chavez you just had to be THAT guy/girl

[@jennarujawitz2557]

I actually do have an idea of how lucky I am because I've seen my friends with only one parent and how hurt they are because of it. It makes me reflect on how blessed I am to have two parents. I wish I could help you if your hurt but I don't know how. I'm sorry

[@loveaffect]

exactly .. My friends who say .. "Oh my mom and dad just got me a new phone , but they could of gotten me a better one😒" ..i sit there like .. my dads dead ...id do anything to get him back .. while your PARENTS are trying so hard..my mom works all day and night to make sure i get dinner at least and clothes on my back .. Yours dont got a problem buying you new stuff and grocerious? .. my mother struggles getting me a pair of shoes each YEAR not week or month .. Year..if im lucky

*It sucks that the first and only man that broke my heart was my father* EDIT: This is the first time that I got more than 1k likes in my comment but I can’t help but feel sad knowing that the number of likes that my comment got, represents the number of people that has gone through the same pain as I have. When I wrote that comment, everything was so bad. The reason why my father broke my heart was because of his drug addiction. Last year, he became worse. But you know what, we decided to put him on a rehab center and I’m proud to say that he’s doing good and I can see the progress (he’s been staying there for less than 2 months) I’m praying everyday for his recovery. Now, I can say to everyone that can relate to me, to just hold on. Hold on to the people you love, and to the love you had for your fathers (or mothers). One day, you’ll eventually find the reason why everything happened. Forgiveness is also important so that you don’t have to carry your pain and anger. Some might find it hard to forgive but I know that one day, you will and it feels good to always forgive because you’re not just doing that for the person who hurt you but for yourself. So you can free yourself and move forward with life. I’m sorry if this is too long but I’m sending virtual hugs 🤗 to everyone.😇❤️

[@Moonchild-j6x]

Even though I miss my dad, I am glad that my mom stepped out from an abusive relationship. However, my mom's relationship with my stepfather right now isn't great either 🤷‍♀️ They fight nearly everyday. I am just waiting to finish college so that I can move out and live alone by myself. Most parents don'tunderstand that they're one of the main reasons for their child's mental issues. My parents abusive relationship, my mom's poor decision making and parents negligence towards made me an unhealthy Introvert. I used to suffer from depression but now I am hard as a stone, emotionless towards humans! Honestly, I don't believe in LOVE as well (romance). I became more attached to animals but their loss made me grief even more on the inside. My heart and my love is only for my dear pets and music~ my full time healer! To anyone going through a hard time, learn to be your own bestfriend. At the end of the day you can only trust your own self, and when everybody leaves, you have just you on your own. So learn to LOVE YOURSELF because you matter the most!!

Haven't seen him in along time that when people ask if I have family here , I go no my mom is in Puerto Rico and my sisters live up north cause I forget he is so close by cause I know I can't rely on him for anything .

Same.... My father has done many things.... He's alive but my parents fight and this Christmas they fought for 2-3 hours. My little brother isn't really that young to remember this but, he was crying he is lucky he has someone too comfort him when my parents fight... When I was littler before he was born they fought almost every night/day.... They just usually fought when my big brother was gone.... But when he was there he usually tried stopping it and butting in I usually cried the whole time hey fought when I was littler..... I'm scared for my mom because her heart beats faster than a normal heartbeat and she can have an heart attack easier...... And when I have a bad day at school I try too tell them but they tell me to suck it up.... When your crying silently in your room wishing someone would come in and comfort you.....

[@annabarton6323]

I know. I never got to say goodbye. I lost him to suicide/alcoholism. I can't even remember the sound of his voice anymore, and it breaks my heart. It was 8 days before my 18th birthday, and even though there were many, many hard times growing up, I wish that he was here. I'm an adult now, and I know our relationship would have changed, and I want so badly for him to be able to see me now. I've come so far since he last heard from me, and I've learned to forgive him, but it's too late now.

I grew up without someone to call “Dad.” He came back and left again. I am broken and I’m so scared because my own dad didn’t love me, how could anyone else? He left me, my brother, and Mom alone for drugs and alcohol. It kills me inside.

[@kiera1209]

Rosy Renthlei Well, we will never know until we put ourselves into someone else’s shoes. I knew my father, and I’m at least glad I actually know who my father is and I couldn’t imagine the pain of not knowing. It also depends on the person, my friend doesn’t know if her stepdad is her dad or if the man she thought was her dad is her dad. She could easily find out, but she doesn’t want to know.

[@tefanylin5383]

This song makes my soul cry. I currently live with my both parents. I can say that my dad made a lot of mistakes, and it was a very hard process to forgive him. But I learned that forgiveness comes when you understand that there is nothing to forgive, but something to understand. There are things that mark us and makes us to act in some way in life. Let's understand that the one who hurts another was also hurt before. Who didn't receive love, can't give it either. It is liberating. Thanks Dad, i love you, today and always.

[@Alex-sw9mb]

It hurts me so much when in hear this Song. She has been through so much and it's just so amazing how strong she is.

[@tristoniamccartney2488]

I relate to this song in do many ways, my father may not be dead but I've never known what it was like to have a father. I wish I had a dad that loved and cared about me. Demis music gets me in the feels and makes me think about my past, and what I want in the future. If you're reading this and you have a father that's there feel lucky. some people don't know what that feels like.

They now know why I hate people referring to me as my surname. I thank them for understanding despite them not knowing what it’s like.

[@liaitzel6622]

Dear dad, Your 10 year anniversary is coming up in 2 weeks. I was only 6 when you left. The drugs and alcohol took over your ability to become the best father you can be, it consumed you. I understand you were troubled, but it hurts to know you chose it over us. I only saw you once a week, if even that. I used to look outside the window and wait for hours for you to come, but I will never forget my favorite memories. I miss when you used to throw me up in the air and catch me in your arms or when you would blast and sing along to your favorite song in the car. I also remember singing to you in your hospital bed while you were in a coma, and I knew you could hear me because a tear drop fell from your left eye. I miss hearing your voice because now I can't remember what it sounds like, or your laugh. With that being said, Dad, I'm sorry sometimes I hate you for doing what you did, but I forgive you. I know you wanted to be a better father but you were taken from us too quickly. I will never forgive myself for not being there for your last breaths, for not saying a final goodbye. You have missed so many milestones and now I will never have a daddy daughter dance, never be able to sing in the car with you again, never have you walk me down the aisle. I wish I could go back and hear your voice one last time and tell you how much I love you and say a proper goodbye. Now all I have are a few pictures and 3 T-shirts to remember you by. I love you, Dad. I hope you get this message.

Sometimes they leave because they aren’t worthy of your affections kiddos. Don’t be sad that they’re gone, be grateful they walked away because of they can walk away so easily, imagine how shitty it would be if they stuck around, when they clearly didn’t care enough in the first place.

Then my dad was hooked and went to stronger, illegal drugs... while he was high he sent a video of him strangling our pet cat to my mom and threatened her to let him see us or he would do it to her.

[@emmapaige7222]

I never got to know my father. My three siblings got to have relationships with him while I was the only one that knew nothing of him. He passed almost 12 years ago,I’m almost 13. I spent my early years thinking it was normal for kids to not have dads. I can’t be sad cause I never new the kind of person he was, but in a way I can because I envy the kids whose dads they get to see, whether it’s on weekends or what when if I want to see mine I have to go to a cemetery in a town I don’t know. I basically have no relationship with my dads family it gets hard to think that they got to live with him his whole life and I got a year and a half that I don’t even remember! Some people tell me I shouldn’t be depressed or unhappy in a life I haven’t really gotten to live. But the thing is that depression doesn’t care how old you are or what happened to you, I feel lonely in this world, I feel no one will love me, for so many years people told me I was ugly, that I should just do everyone a favor and die, but recently people guys I liked in the past...guys I’ve never liked have told me I’m beautiful, that I have a great personality and a bunch of lies like that, and I’m so used to being called ugly by everyone that I find myself repulsive, disgusting, I have tried so many times to be happy but the things that have happened in my life have lead me to believe I’m not supposed to be here,at least not now, I’m not saying I’m going to kill my self right after this but I am saying I have tried more than a few times in a span of two months, I just remind my self that no sadness lasts forever,it my seem like it but there is a light somewhere down the tunnel trust me, I may still be trying to find it but I know it’s there it’s one of the very few things keeping me alive right now

This song is so heart breaking. So many kids are like “oh I can deal with it it can’t be that bad I would have the other parent anyways” or “stop being dramatic you’re fine” like kids don’t care these days. They don’t care abt what they have until it’s ripped away from them. I lost my dad when I was 6 and I’m 14 now and it still hurts knowing that I never got to say goodbye. I didn’t get to hug him or tell him I loved him. Everyone should really take a look at what they have. Bc you never know when it will be gone.
