Guilt

Guilt is the word regret and deceit flood my heart as I look at my daughter and what could of been Guilt is the feeling At the window bottom she sits waiting for me to come it's not going to happen as my mistress is home What could have been? Blonde hair, Blue eyes So patiently she waits for her dad the one who she adores but does not know How could I leave her? Walking the dark cold streets I see her face in my head Them big glazed eyes Brings a lump to my throat What have I missed out on? Into this woman she blossoms making decisions of her own leaving me behind asking questions Why wasn't I there for her? Guilt is the feeling regret and deceit flood my heart as she moves on without me everytime I look at my daughter Guilt is the feeling

I have come to forgive the lack in my life of parents also, Amy. I wrote about my mother with "Adult Child of an Alcoholic" and I never knew my father so I guess I thought I had lots of good reasons to become a drunk myself ... LOL ... but now, after 30 years of sobriety, forgiveness feels much nicer ... smile ... How fortunate we are to have the Soup to get it out and how brave you are to share from your heart. Thanks Amy!

Dear Amy, I am so sorry for the burden you carry and wish there was someway I could help because this is so sad. I pray that you can forgive yourself and try to move on by being there for her now whenever you're needed as much as you can. Has she forgiven you? I hope so, my dear. That should be a big help to you. Anyway, God love you both. Peace and love, Audrey
