My Darling Daughter
For one girl, “my darling daughter” is not the compliment you would think it would be. This person shared some of the words she grew up hearing from her toxic father. The term of endearment was anything but, taking on a sinister meaning as her dad followed up with hurtful insults.
For many children of divorced parents, the separation and eventual divorce, is a relief. That’s the case with this girl. It’s no surprise that she shut her dad down when he tried to make amends. Some things are unforgivable or impossible to move beyond. This is one of those things.
