If her father wanted to find her. Wouldn't of been as hard as her trying to find him. Just sad really because you can see she just desperately wanted her father to love her.
@lmwangi568111 күн бұрын
He's disgusting. He knew he had a daughter and he knew exactly where she was!! He had no problem releasing himself into her mother and yet abandoned them like they didn't exist. Eff out of here. If he truly wanted her, he would have been there and there wouldn't be any of this. Why did she have to humiliate herself and reduce herself to this level to find him?? Ugh, and he's cold. He went and had another child and doesn't want to talk about it??? Yeah, probably because she isn't "pure Japanese". Anyways, I feel bad for her that she had to degrade herself to find such an insignificant "man", I mean grown boy that cant take responsibility (only men take care of their children, too many grown boys walking around Earth) and is practically begging to be loved. Sometimes we must respect ourselves and not grant others the grace they think they are entitled to. I pray she finds deep healing because he truly didn't want her.
@JCizzleSoCal2 күн бұрын
@@lmwangi5681Really easy for you to judge someone but you have no idea what her father was thinking, what he was going through, what other responsibilities he had, etc. Just because it obviously hit a deep, touchy nerve with you, just try and relax little buddy.

The docu didn’t answer for me why he never returned for her. He was the adult, he was the father. I couldn’t forgive or rationalize his abandonment. She’s a wonderful person by forgiving him. Unless there was more that wasn’t addressed in the story. I could see the guilt on his face.

I'm now 66 years old, and have never found my father. He's surely dead by now. I know the children that he strowed through my county when he worked here as a CCC worker. I'm crying as I watch this. I blame both parents for the loss of my father and his side of the family whom I know nothing of. They caused a pain inside of me that they will never know and probably didn't even care about. Well, at least one of us found her father.
